@Khurrado :lol: i knew you'd like it

 

i have grilles on the speakers, i only found out they weren't standard speakers after seeing that pic, as you can't actually see them at all in real life. weird, i think its the flash of camera, as the rest of the car just looks black inside, its a lot more dark and dingy than it looks in pic

Great pics mate! Car looks very clean and the paints in superb condition judging by the last picture which would usually show up no end of swirls! Get your wheels off and clean the arches though!! :lol:

 

What do you use on your tyres, they are rather shiny? I use Megs Endurance which is very good but doesnt shine as much as that!

cheers, the paint does have some swirling imo, maybe i'm just too fussy, hard to see until you there in person. :lol:

 

i use the autoglym stuff on tyres, its a little spray bottle, it works well but the bottle runs out quickly, think the tyres were still abit wet with it in the pics

Not tried the AG stuff, might have to get some.

 

Im exactly the same as you though, mine isn't THAT bad for swirls, i havent had the machine polisher on it yet but i have had a few sessions with Scratch-X in the past so its not terrible. BUT i still look at it and see swirls and i HAVE to get rid of them :lol:

Decided to tidy up under the arches today, i could of done a better job, but took long enough anyway

 

A cheap thing to do, makes quite a difference to how old the car looks,

bought these bits £11 for everything.

Seems to be limping in the second shot...

 

Too my FK off and went back to stock with black badge... think the badge breaks things up more... plus I think it looks like an 80's chrysler without!
