Just read through all 9 pages there (hate saving money on friday nights :( )
Cracking example of a well looked after car. Really was gleaming after your wax sesh :)

How much did all your cleaning gear set you back roughly? Really need to stock up on some supplies, want a gleam for summer :D

This thread also led to me buying one of the C2 ariels as well, would be rude not to at that price!

Hey FRik, sorry for the late reply!

Thank you, previous owner had never done any polishing/waxing before so it really needed some tlc!

I can't remember the exact figure but it was roughly £170. I got all my stuff from Polished Bliss (www.polishedbliss.co.uk) and if you spend over £100 you get 5% off, and they always have special offers on. I decided to go to them as they are situated beside me so can pop down.

I know, it's amazing the difference the C2 aerial makes!!

Thats no bother :) I spent ages pondering into the early hours of this morning, and my wallet will be considerably lighter when I go to pick up my goodies today. Hopefully have the weather to have a go at mine tomorrow.

Where abouts in Polished Bliss located? Im at uni in aberdeen, so may use them in future, save postage costs.

They are based in Kintore, they have directions on their website. It would probably be cheaper to come out from Aberdeen and collect than to get it posted.

Well I hope its a nice day tomorrow for you!

Hey Bruce, thank you, I try to keep my car as clean as possible lol.
I got on well with the clay bar, I did it straight after I had used Tardis to remove tar spots, and I did it whilst the car was still wet so this helped a great deal in reducing the risk of scratching and marring.
I just used gentle pressure, and you only really need to go over the same area using about 3 strokes, and it's amazing how much containments it removes!! I thought my car was clean until I did a clay bar! :lol:
Well you would be more than welcome to :) Iv got a Ebony LCR, a Impreza WRX and a Chrysler Crossfire to do in the next month, going to be busy! :D
