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 Dressing 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
Neil having a wee shot of the vert

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 ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

Both cars looking good well worth the effort 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 ------------- Previous: E36 318is coupe, E36 323i coupe, E30 316 saloon, E30 318 saloon, E46 330ci Sport Conv E92 325d M Sport(3.0),With Loads of gadgets Current: 116i Sport F20 |

ah the joys of living in Abz - "seagull city" there was a thing in the evening yesterday about an application to cull the mailto:f@kkers - f@kkers for the next three years. Well over due! How are us petrol heads supposed to keep our motors clean with those beasts flying around everywhere...
