    Nice car , four hours well spent. At least you don't see all the scratches with silver, my black v70 has so many I start getting depressed if I look at them too often Although when you stand back she looks beautiful - such a deep shine you cannot see any at all! Have yet to try clay ,see if they will come out.

    Piece of cake claying, just bloody hard work getting in the nooks n crannies and keeping bits out of the clay. I dont think Id have another dark car if i could help it, lovely when clean but KEEPING them clean is another matter

    As you say, you see EVERY little scratch. I believe Silver is one of the colours that hide imperfections the best

    With that logic we'd all be driving around in cars with only a single cylinder, and equipped with nothing more than seats, pedals and a steering wheel.

    claying wont remove swirls. it remove contaminates. you need polish/cutting compound to remove swirls

    Fingers crossed I'll get to see it in full glory at the Wrexham meet - where I'll be covertly looking at robbing those bumpers and door strips for mine
