I already mentioned in another thread I had spent a week detailing the A8 and last week in the snow I had to go through to Edinburgh, so when the car came back it was covered in salt and muck. Perfect excuse to give it a wash and get a few shots of beading porn

The different colours were caused by the sun popping out from beneath the clouds when I was taking the pictures

I'm the last person you'll find cleaning a car, and frankly, spotless is not somewhere I come often - but - That is just totally stunning. Love it

May I ask what you used to attain such a wonderfully pornographic finish?

A warped mind and in this case a Panasonic LX5

Now before you take a peek at the next three pictures please make sure SWMBO is not looking or you could be accused of visiting unsavoury adult sites




























These are all pictures of the Rover paintwork

I use a product called A Grade Polish then a coat of wax, the Audi was done with Autoglym High Definition wax but I usually use Chemical Guys 5050 wax

Strangely enough, HD wax is what I use on mine, as well as the Harley.
Am hitting my S8 with the 1500, 2500 then 3000 grit then buffing before re-applying the wax, I'm quite pleased with the panels I've attacked so far, not well or fit enough to do the whole car at once unfortunately, but didn't realise that Audi Aluminium Silver (L7YM) could have such a deep shine after 14 years
