    Well got a few hours to spend on the car today so after a quick wash cracked open the meguires 1-2-3 kit & my new rotary mop & had a bash at bringing the red back. Pretty pleased considering it was my first attempt at any type of serious detailing

    Cheers, Morgan

    Stunning mate, Looks very fresh and Red, you've done a cracking job. I ve got the Megs 1-2-3 step to, I found the cleaner wax especially good, The polish i thought wash a little smeary, (on my black car) But probably better on the Red, the Wax is quite good to.

    Looks excellent mate

    Cheers fella - got a ways before I catch up with you on the detailing front but I was pleased at how well the paint came up.

    Agree on the polish. Was a pain to buff up, probably put too much in as I was rushing to beat the weather!

    Don't worry Frankie - know yours is the best pink 850R on the forum & I have no aspirations to take the crown from you
