Very nice ST it is worth the hard work when you get results like that. A good camera can also show the car at its best. We had bloody snow again today I hope it stops I have to do my dads S60 over the next few days.
Thanks

snow or volcanic radioactive sludge?? lol... Hope it stays hot down here.. all day tomorrow on the inside of the car.. clean the seats.. carpets.. polish everything.. clear windows inside and out.. then if time. start on the engine bay. took all these piccys on my phone. but its a 12.1 Mxpl so they come out ok... my arms ache so much now im having trouble liftin me beer up.. might have to go find a straw lol.....
know what you mean. my other cars are covered in the stuff so I ll just leave those for now.. went to get the car cover out the shed after polishing it. only to find a family of shed mice had made a nest in it. and yep. u guessed it... they made the nest from chewed up car cover... got about 30 holes through it now. so the mouse traps are set and the buggers will pay for chewing it.. only brought it 6 months ago.. cost me £40....the war between man and mouse has started lol...

ST,
What did you use on the plastic trim. ?
I normally use AG Bumper-Care Gel. which is ok but doesn't last.
Nice results B.T.W

angled reflections are misleading - have you got anything straight on?
