    Blacky vs Meguiars lol Judgement day arriving soon

    Well its been a up and down few weeks, and decided to pull her from sale, Ive bitten the bullet and decided to Pay someone to change the Flywheel back to the OBD 2 unit which should be in her as she recently has not bin liking to start from cold an im not going to sell someone a car runing like that.

    Anyway i thought id treat her to a 3 stage Megs treatment to try and find the love back with the car. 1st 2 pics are after a detox, then the next a 2 polished then the next sealed with carnauba wax.

    Pic's below

    that bike is about 30 years old!

    good effort Gav, I'm sure there's some aerodynamic advantage with a car that shiny.

    Very impressive Gav! This is what I'm trying to achive but I doubt mine will ever look so Good! Your a few polishes ahead of me lol

    I was looking at the Stage 3 Megs a couple of weeks ago when I was in Halfords and spent ages reading the backs of the Bottles but to be Honest I have that much Megs Stuff to use first I thought I'd be a Good Boy and wait

    You and Oblark have the best looking detailed cars on here but I'm after you Both! lol

    Here's a Selection of my Megs stuff (not all) and a Fighting Pose! Lmao
