When I was in Portugal late last year I saw this cheap ARBO Carnauba Polish in one of the big Supermarkets, Continente or Jumbo, can't remember which.

It was only Euro2.99 so I thought it was worth a try. Anyway, I had forgotten about it until today, and seeing as it wasn't raining, (amazing in itself!) I thought I would give it a quick go on the Bonnet seeing as I had given it a quick wash the other day, but had had it covered since.

I was quite impressed how it covered and how nice it applied itself on the paintwork, nice and smooth and creamy! Left it for a few minutes to dry off a bit and I have to honestly say I was impressed how it buffed-up quite quickly, and easily.

So I thought 2 quid well spent. Off course we will wait and see how long it lasts, but it was really smooth and the polish cloth just slid off the Bonnet...

I took a couple of photo's, not the best as it was in the shade between houses.

So if you're in Portugal next time I would recommend it, if you see it... ;)

Great work, hopefully it will last a while, I found poorboys natty paste wax to be an easy product to work with and long lasting

Drove a friend to A&E earlier - my that V6 can play a merry tune when needs must!:D

I changed the Auto Transmission Fluid on my V6.
I bought the car a month or so ago and although if came with "FSH" it was just stamps in the book, so I am working on the assumption that the ATF had never been changed. Anyway, it has now.

Bought illuminated sun visors, auto dip mirror and new intercooler o-rings. Next weekend will be fitting them along with projector headlamps :-)

Washed it even though it was raining but think it deserved it after passing mot yesterday with only handbrake adjustment required.
