The transformation is amazing. 

I was gobsmacked by the amount of dirt the clay lifts and how smoooooth it leaves the paint.

...and then he makes it shinier! 

Paul does a great job!

Well guys, Thats it polished!! The rain was on and off all day!! But I got it done!!

Got 95% of the deffects out, just got some deeper scratches to look at and finnish off a bit off the roof. still got the wheels to finnish claying/polishing/sealing but Alistairs coming back tomorrow for that.

The Pictures don't do it much justice but it looks damn good in the flesh but thats only because my camera isn't that good.lol. 

So Enjoy!!

 

Some 50/50 shots(hard to make out in the light, no swirls in one side, swirly in the other)

 

 

Arty ones!!

Cheers for looking!!

Well done mate, started doing mine today and got as far as the boot lid when it started tipping down so I can sympathise.

Still the B10 is looking loads better already and I'm sure it'll be a credit to you when its done.
