My first attempt at detailing, so I thought I'd post up some pics :

That looks so clean it could be a press car!

^ I don't even know if press cars have as much time spent on them... have spent the last two days stripping it, polishing out swirls by hand, sealing and waxing!

It shows tho that even a novice can get great results with plenty of time and effort!

It does look good from any angle, well done!

I've done some stripping today, bumper off, liners off, wheels off..............tomorrow to put it back together! Was busy re-routing my BMC CDA cold air feed.................done some bumper mods to improve the flow!

You'll get a roar, but watch out for heat soak in traffic, best to route a cold air feed to it to eliminate loss of performance.

I'm hoping to just have to wash and wax every fortnight or something to keep it up.

The CG XXX wax is really good for beading too!

Plans with the motor so far are cold feed induction, fogs and a sandblast & powder coat of the wheels. One is bubbling slightly in places, and fancy them a touch brighter. I'm open to suggestions for colour actually.

Toying with the idea of an exhaust, and am collecting to start my sound installation.

Replaced both of mine, bought one off ebay and the other off a member on .org and xpf, Lates, he does them for a good price. Try Ralph of EMS on here, he may well have them in stock.

Sound - I certainly will when I get five mins!

On another note, what's the general consensus on those rubber suckers to pull minor dents?

Never used one myself, but always believe that sort of thing is best left for the professionals!
