    As opti coat was being used I wanted to get the best finish possible possible so tested out these 2, been so impressed with the Britemax Blackmax:

    Couldn't pick it up in photographs but the Blackmax just left it looking more blue whilst the menzerna looked to have a touch more gloss the blackmax side looked better.This was then wiped down with Spies Heckler panel wipe (ignore the bottle) and dusted leaving the following:

  10. lovely work again Ed, love that colour.
     
  11. Ed mate that's a beauty and I don't just mean the feather duster!
     
  12. Great work, just shows how much better cars can look when properly corrected. I don't suppose you've done a LY Renault and have any before and after shots?
     
  13. That's amazing, truly. Top work.

    It seemed to be in pretty bad state before hand - what do people do to their cars?

  17. when i was scrolling down, and came to the `manly and not gay at all`..feather duster,
    i thought you had peter stringfellows mullet on a stick..no wonder you cleaned it in the garage with such implements used!

    If you ever valet elton johns car,for god sake, dont bend down,without keeping your eyes on him at all times.

  21. Any chance you could post a few up please? (Different thread if you like). My LY paint is reasonably good but I'd like to see a fully corrected car!

    Thanks mate, yeah all about having good protection on over winter just to make cleaning it easier etc,Og always comes up nice.
     
  26. Is this what you do for a full time job or you do as side job too
    would think its full time as you do so many cars
    og is one of them colours when its clean its easily the best on a 3rs ,mine could do with the full lot done to it machine polishing etc
