Thanks mate much appreciated!! Its not quite there yet though
lot more i want done to it but money doesnt grow on trees unfortunetly so saving for a wee while then hit it with another phase of modsThe rear lights are just a spray!! Be wary of it though as i sprayed a good few coats on and the indicators then flashed red
So ive got a wee circle where the indicators are clear so they still flash orange, just temporary for the now till i find a permanent solution. Its not noticable unless your right up close though which is good!!
Your car is looking good mate. Quality pictures, you can never have enough of them lol. Ever considered changing the alloys?
Haha i know everytime its sunny i just take pictures of it
Yeah ive considered new wheels for a while but theres that much choice i just cant decide what i really want Might just leave it till next summer unless the right set comes up at the right price Need something to really set the car apart!!!
Well spent last weekend in the nice weather giving the car a good going over!!
1. Full wash and dry of the car.
2. I started with a layer of tcut over the whole car.
3. I then gave it a full layer of colour magic to bring the colour up.
4. I added a layer of Autoglym super resin polish over the top of this to really make it shine.
5. Finally i added a layer of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection to really bring the shine out and protect the paint.
Results below...
Quite impressed with it considering im usually fairly rubbish at this kind of thing
If anyones got any tips for making it even shinier then feel free to share your knowledge please

Cars looking slick!
I've never used it personally but i've seen Autoglym HD wax recommended a lot.

mcd90 - I would be too jealous coz black cars look shiny when first cleaned, 2 days later the car was absolutely boggin, the gritters being out on the roads hasn't done me any favours either
Dave - Ive acctually heard that HD wax is meant to be good, might need to add a layer over the top of everything else to see how well that brings the colour out!!

Lookin good matthew! Totally agree with mcd90, white is really difficult to get a decent deep shine.
Ohhh i didn't realise it cost that much:O might need to save my pennys for some of that
Its quite funny with my car coz from the rear wings forward its always clean and the back of the car is just covered in soot!!
Yeah greg my dads got one of them bags, think his is green though, its worth about £200 but he got it free when his Alfa was in at that Stuart McKays garage for a valet!!
I think there attatched with sticky pads!! Easy enough to peel off but the sticky pads will leave a fair bit of residue that you will need to peel off then scrub to fully remove it all.
Looking good matthew Have you ever heard of claying the car? Also, HD wax is amazing on black cars and you can get it online for £25 or halfords are doing 3 for 2 at the moment so you could get a few pals to get a tub for themselves much cheaper than normal.

Yeah ive heard of claying it but dont really know anything about it, what do you acctually do? The deal in halfords does sound not too bad tbh!!
Sounds like what it is
it's a small lump of clay that you rub over lubricated paint and it picks up a lot of the tar and other debris that's lodged into the clear coat of your paint. When I've clayed friends (neglected) cars after doing it they always look a million times better!Similar threads
