    Looking great Merc, and what is the bright light in the sky please? I've had no opportunity whatsoever to wash mine over the break, cos the weather has been absolutely terrible.

    I really don't know how much more water can come out of the sky. Happy waxing anyway, and I'm looking forward to the post wax pics.

    Here we go, after ive removed the polish, Excuse the pale pictures the garage walls are white and its reflecting in the paint, the roof looks better as the celing is dark grey concrete as you can see by the gas metre on the wall pic 2 lol











    Now to add the wax, but that wont be tonight i doubt as its time consuming.
