    I used my Meguiars DA with a combination of Meguiars NXT gen Tech Wax and Megiuars Speed Glaze.



    Grahams paint really does have a deep shine to it.



    So much so that you can see my car in the reflection of his paint.



    You can even see the fine beading in that pic.
    looking good

    Santa - I probably can't and as I said I'd need a closer look. I was just going off how the rain drops were sitting on the clearcoat.

    The hardest decision for Graham today should i go back to McDs for a refill.

    Cars both look great as always.

    Not really a hard decision for him, as he stops at every MacDonalds on his route.

    To be honest the pictures don't really do the car justice, though I'm always open to suggestions & criticism, I'm sure Steve is also up for as much help and advice as he can get though I must say he did look as though he knew how to handle the DA.

    Having seen your car at Haynes Graham, the paintwork is absolutely mint, the best P1 V70 I've personally seen on the road and that's being honest mate.

    I've not done bad with it in 18 months though, and Doorman's is not a real car (it's an auto)
