    Looks good Mr P.

    Such a deep shine.

    If you want your tires to bling then the next time you order from polished bliss get some black fire tire gel. Its great stuff. Doesnt spin off onto pintwork like most other do. Lasts longer than all others I have tried as well.

    Nice Andy VERY shiny It's a good feeling when you've spent ages cleaning your car the end result is very satisfying.

    Sorry about that Lynn. I guess I should have put a warning at the start of the thread.

    Now I'm sure there's no need for that. From what I recall you go even more obsessive in your detailing sessions.

    It's worse (better) when seeing it in the flesh.

    There's no doubt it can still be better than what I (we) have done today. Still a few swirls.

    I do tend to waffle.

    Message from Lenore: "He's not spending any more frikking money on car detailing stuff. End of."

    So I guess that's a no Ian.

    Very satisfying indeed. Took 6 hours in total, including rain stoppages. But at least I didn't have to suffer Cliff Richard signing from the terraces.

    Definitely, if you are into polishing your car. Admittedly, I have no frame of reference from hand polishing - never done it. But I can see the results I got from the machine, and I love it!
