Had a couple of dry days at last...
so tried my hand at making it shiny, hard work but think it looks better
(getting upload error when trying to attach pics does that mean they are too big?)

I gave it the Megs 3 stage treatment (paint cleaner, polish and wax) and even doing it by hand has made a big difference to paint swirls etc, used Sonus applicator pads which have a slightly more textured side for applying and then you turn over to a smooth side for buffing up, took me about 5 hours though but it does look good, dont think the pictures do it justice to be honest, but its a new camera I got for Christmas and still learning
