Must be something in the air, I waxed, polished and Gloss Guarded mine today, it's been the perfect day for it

Ah, I didn't even realise it was paint on the insides - well done! It can't be very easy to do that with a can (not much room to manoeuvre) - having seen yours though I think I'll give it a go on mine.

Did you use the pack of cards trick?

Getting to be an expurt on removing front bumper and slam panel on KV6 .Had If off today just to see how quick I can do it. Slam panel has been Waxoyle in places that it needs(slight surface rust). While working(faffing) the inlet hose came by Royal Mail, not due until Tuesday/ Thursday, so cut it in half, ordered 1 metre, and fitted it in place. Just got to Waxoyle the brake pipes, nothing wrong with them, but I like finding things to do with Waxoyle.Might paint the exhaust while I am under there. Well, you have to keep busy.Then it is just timing belts, mot, tax and insurance, and away we go. Mind you
, the front bumper wants rubbing down and spraying. Who said life was boring?

Had a go with the machine polisher today and I was very pleased with the results.

Now that’s a good idea! But I don’t think I will bother. I usually use Hammerite Smooth Silver. I have already done the exhaust silencer. It is 3 years old but in very good condition. Be glad when I can take it on a nice ride somewhere.

Took me about 4 hours Dave, I've just bought a da polisher and used some meguiars ultimate compound then autoglym polish, the difference is quite remarkable, even Karen said "Blimey, thats shiny"
