Well went round to Neils this morning to give the car`s a good going over.First we washed the cars and dried them.Then we clay barred Neils Coupe and Applied Meq NXT Wax and dressed the tyres with my new Tyre DressingI must say this is the best i have seen Neils cars for ages,Infact it`s the best i have seen it full stop.

Then it was on to give mine a coat of Meq NXT wax,Mine did not need much as it was done last weekend.

The cars were looking so fine and so was the weather we decided to go for a photo shoot at the near by Westburn Park

Here are some pics

Neil lying down on the job again

New Tyre dressing 2 hours after applying

lots of elbow grease for excellent results on both cars

hire a car transporter so you can keep them in that state for the photoshoot

I dread driving anywhere after you spend hours cleaning cars

Both cars looking good well worth the effort  
Sunday is going to be amazing 40+ gleaming BMWs on show.

Pete - You've got some really nice pics there. However, I find the one below a bit odd - perspective seems to be wrong and your car looks much smaller than Neils?

Sorry Neil,but i have not went to Photo Lessons yet

Maybe will when i get my SLR (If i can save enough with buying so much cleaning gear)

 

The main problem was however a stupid girl had parked her Corsa left of Neils car so i had to move round to avoid it in pic
