White is a difficult colour, but your hard works paid off. Looks excellent.

Nice to meet you again today Mike, big thanks for your help with my paint selection

and the bag of goodies

The bimmer looks even better in the flesh and the interior is a bit more tasteful than it looked in the pictures

They were a gift from Iancho but there's a member called D5Kerry who does custom domed badges etc. Give him a shout. His work's top notch (he did the rest of my badges)

Here's the wheel refurb I did yesterday...

**Kingsford G** · Tuesday 7th May 2013, 09:24

Is that using a spray can?Thats a good job there Martin.

**jotter22** · Tuesday 7th May 2013, 12:49

Top job Martin do you use a light colour car polish/wax as i have been told there are a few waxes designed for light coloured cars i have some Dodo Juice super natural at the moment but not tried it yet! (machine friendly)
And the wheels look superb wish you were closer the AMG alloys could do with some paint!

Yep - rattle cans

done the same way as my Ameltheas - flat black then a mist of (in this case) metallic green. Finished off with a lot of clear lacquer.

I used the white Tcut colour restorer as a cutting compound and went at it hard with the DA polisher. Then Zymol cleaner wax, Autoglym resin polish and hard shell wax.

Wheels aren't that hard to do - the prep work takes the most time.

Top work Martin, what condition were they in before?

Pretty good but had a few chunks missing. Nothing a bit of filler and some Dremmel work couldn't cure.
