Great looking, nice one! =D>

What I don't like are the head light blinds.

Everything else looks good, and the finish is soooooo clean, cleaner than new it seems.

Yep looks a1 Dave....Red actually looks redder than ive seen before...better infact from those shots!!! :wink:

If i had that red Dave i would definetly give that car a clay followed by meguiars no.7 show car glaze to darken and nourish the finish and then follow with a good carnauba like 50/50 or p21,s or even pinnacle souveran.......trust me that car will look as wet and glossy as the pacific!!!

Dave you will need to buy the clay and not dig it up from the pit round the corner. :D

[vxrdave]

LOL my back gargen is full of it 6 skips full when i dug out my pond.

[vxrmarc]

Dave dont clay the paintshield in my opinion but may be speak to them and ask but cant see it!!!!!

Does your car need claying??????

Simple test:

get a plastic wrapper from cigarette packet and lay on bonnet or wing...put finger inside and rub......if it feels smooth ..no worries..........if it feels gritty( as i suspect it will) you need to clay...

Will try and come up at beginning of summer for a mini fens meet equipted with mucho shino!!!!

Still i,ll see you all at brands........car will be filthy as usual :wink:
provided its turned up!

just cans fron the good old VXL dealer.

[paintshield]

Also you think i should clay over the paintshield film or jusy leave the film and do the paint work.

No point claying over our Film, has no benefit, there is a seperate and easy procedure for removing any swirl marks which you may get on the film and other scratches that might occur over its life (including cat scratches BTW). Give me a call or get your detailer to give me a call and I will run you through the SP on this (really stupidly simple) :)
