Absolutely stunning!!!! Dark coloured 8s are such a joy to detail...the finish you get is so rewarding.

How right you are Oli, unfortunately silver cars are a mare to get a deep wet look but on the plus side swirls don't show up as easily on darker cars!

Thats some fantastic reflections on that S8!

That finish is scary.. Almost glass-like.

Still.. Like how a simple wash almost makes silver look perfect

Just need a spare week to get mine as shiny as Mike's though!

Practise... Does that mean no liability when the rotory burns through the clear coat?

Now then we might just have to draw up some sort of liability clause
