I bet you cant wait to get everything whacked on, can you? When d'you reckon it will all be on?

And what in the world are those sponges? :S

hopefully before christmas, but we shall see when my brother is free. eh i found out about them about 4 months ago, when your leather steering wheel goes all shiny from alot of use, theres a chemical in the sponges that takes all the grease and muck off them and makes it look like new again. i was really impressed last time, heres some photos. they only cost like 99p or so on ebay. but be carefull not to overwipe it as the chemical can start eating through the leather and that wont look good.

Be careful with those magic erasers, super abrasive, that's how they work. Don't press too hard or you'll rub a hole in it. Other than that they're amazing for cleaning leather!

Yeah, i learned the hard way. Used it on the stairs when i spilled something and it took all the finish off the wood :(

Much better! How do you keep your car so clean in this weather lol

OCD Clean freak :D lmfao :)

KW varient 1's , (non inox) they feel good. not harsh which i was hoping for considering there fairly pricey. seem very forgiving. i think i might bring the back down more, :lol:

Mate! The car looks class!! Has a nice stance, I kinda like the rear up a bit.. Maybe if the front was a little lower, then bring the back down a touch :)

Definately looks a LOT better without the insane arch gap dude!! Very nice!!
