Post by: oliverash on May 22, 2010, 07:59:30 PM

Many hours of sweating, polishing and cleaning later...

Black is a bugger to keep clean and with this bloody ash cloud over us as the mo cars are getting covered in seconds.
Wish i could get mine looking as shiney and deep in colour as that :Thumbs-up

the show was only 2 miles up the road - by the time i got there it had a film of dust on it thick enough to write your name in!
 
i got myself a machine polisher to do most of the hard work. did the same thing last year and it came up a lot better than this time - think i rushed it a bit and didnt have the right polishing pads.
car is an awkward shape to polish - you need lots of small pads to do the job properly
