thought i'd polish my E30 today with the 3 step McGuires range
you can see both my E39 and our wee Mitsy Colt (hiding behind the fence) in the reflection and in all it's glory
i also did the wee Colt with the same stuff and my E39 .... but that get's polished atleast once a week

It's amazing what a bit of a polish can achieve - looks good I did mine Friday past - took this pic, which I thought was unusual

Great work Ian, don't you just love reflection shots! Also liking Nero's pic, it's all in the detail mate. And have to agree with dark colours being the best, here's me after polishing the gf's corsa.

well done to all you Guys you must have waited weeks for a sunny day!!!! no wonder you took so many photos. Joking apart it would be really great to see some of these (BMWs) in the flesh at this years North-East concours to be held 17th June at Harewood House nr Leeds/ York. Hope some of you will make the trip and by all means come in numbers. For more info see NE area or bmw car club site. |
