Been busy !

The surface of my paint was rough.  I used a clay cloth and lubricant and was surprised how easy it was to do.  I put a wax on it afterwards and this is the result :        (she's 6 years old in 5 days time)

Good job Steve! The car looks great! Every time I work on my car (cleaning, polishing, washing) it gives me a nice warm feeling inside, like I have done something good! Is it weird?!

Very nice Steve the Rx looks great.

Beautiful car and presentation.

Did you elect a new Pope?  (final pic)

[steveledzep]

Thank you for your kind words gentlemen.

 

Haha....no papal election John.  Mrs LZ was chilly so she elected to put the CH on !

Very nice

I suppose the profile pic needs updating? Im being picky but maybe a tyre dressing would give you that extra pop that you're looking for?

Good point made by Ray there Steve. I use Meguiar's Endurance Tyre Gel and it's excellent.

Do you know Rayaan, I was convinced that I had changed my profile pic.  I remember uploading it, must have omitted to save.  Well spotted anyway, the earlier one didn't have roof rails, did you spot that ?

Yes, good point about the tyre dressing, something I've never used, probably would if I was selling it.  Cars don't stay looking like that for long around here, too much tractor tyre debris on the roads  🚜

Yep it was the lack of roof rails and I dont think it had the front underrun either. 

You might want to check out something like Tuf Shine, its more of a tyre coating than a dressing so tends to look good wash after wash

[steveledzep]

It's had an underrun front and rear from new.  I think it was called the "lifestyle" pack or similar.

I'll look out for Tuf Shine and give it a go.  Something that lasts from wash to wash appeals, thanks for that.

It's not weird (I keep telling myself) but others seem to think differently. More fool them, my car looks shiny. OCD? Where...😂

Excellent work on the RX @steveledzep

I think if you've got a nice car it does give you a good feeling when it's had a good seeing to. And Steve, that's a beauty!
