Probably the most enjoyable Easter Sunday I've ever had. Recently bought a stack of cleaning products from a chap called Nick at Cleanmitts.com. He put up a post on the cleaning forum and after i told him what i was after, he advised me and gave me a discount too. After washing the car at the local jet wash ( i dont have an outdoor water supply), using my own wheel cleaner, I used a Meguairs clay bar, for the first time, followed by a Poorboys polish and then a wax that was very pricey, but was apparently suited to dark colours. I'm extremely happy with the results and as a proud owner I've put up a few pictures. Shots were all underground, but hopefully the finish shows up. (i'm hoping i've attached the pictures correctly)

After having a full custom Magnaflow exhaust system fitted, i now just need to get my ignition problem resolved and then take the car to JDS to have the Sharktune chip fitted, after which all I'll need is some reasonable weather.

The polish i used was called SSR1. I've only ever used Autoglym products in the past but i thought this was better. Very easy to apply and only a minimal of residue when buffing off. I was left with hardly any little bits of white in small gaps.
