Spent the best part of today washing and applying a number of layers of Autoglym HD wax.

Really pleased with the results :D

Looks awesome! All that hard work certainly pays off.

I pick up my rising blue baby on Wednesday; was a bit disappointed, as it's two weeks late and I'm supposedly off to Thailand for three weeks next Monday and I didn't think I'd get enough waxing/play time before I went... :grumpy: According to the news though I may very well be having three weeks waxing, playing and admiring :clap: funny how things turn out! :yes:

Looks beautiful. Having never waxed a car before I was wondering how you apply it, is it a hard job, did it take you long?

For tips on waxing I would suggest watching the Karate Kid, Wax on Wax off.

Thanks guys - it looks even better today :)

Managed to do the 500 this morning using the same wax and that looks equally as good :)


JaseW - on the original full scale photo the fins on the aerial are easy to count ;)

Just wish I had a better camera now :D
