Looking great Merc, and what is the bright light in the sky please? I've had no opportunity whatsoever to wash mine over the break, cos the weather has been absolutely terrible.

Here we go, after ive removed the polish, Excuse the pale pictures the garage walls are white and its reflecting in the paint, the roof looks better as the celing is dark grey concrete as you can see by the gas metre on the wall pic 2 lol Image Image Image Image Image Now to add the wax, but that wont be tonight i doubt as its time consuming. :)

i don't think i cleaned mine in 2012 let alone 2013 lol

Post 558594 by JamesT5 on 2013-01-03 14:53:29

I cleaned mine today as I felt the outside needed another coat of wax even though it didn't wash up too badly. Thing is, I had to get the tar spots off again (I only did them a few weeks ago), I must have driven over some fresh tar but the good news is they came off pretty quickly as I kept the body work waxed up well before the winter. Regards James
