Lots of washing, and drying it after so it dont get the water marks left on it :P


Sounds like you could do with some Quick Detailer. Gets rid of water marks, fingerprints and the like :thumbsup:

I was up at five in the morning at MITP using it, because I'm strange :lol:

Nah, I don't drink (yep weird) just couldn't sleep >_< :lol:

You just spray the detailer on the panels and wipe off and hey presto, no more watermarks :proud:

I use AG Rapid Detailer, which seems to work well, but there are plenty more out there :thumbsup:

Correction is removing scratches and imperfections from the paint, because the donkey brains at the bodyshop must have washed it with a brush despite me telling them to leave it >_< :xxx:

Just finishing it off today, so pics later ;D

Well, got the car finished and took loads of pictures, only to find when I uploaded them that the camera lense had a fingerprint on it >_<

At least I've got something to do tomorrow :lol:

I haven't updated this in a while, but I've recently got myself a GoPro Hero 3 camera and I went for a little drive yesterday trying loads of different video & picture shots using the suction cup mount, the most amazing camera ever.. I could be out for hours and hours just using fuel and capturing some awesome shots, anyway I put the camera on the boot to film the exhaust noise.. The microphone isn't the best on the GoPro so the exhaust note sounds like a fart at some points :shifty: but thought i'd share it anyway :D

Compounding & polishing the exhaust will make it sound even better ;)
