Finally.........
 
11 Attachment(s)
some of you may recall the "men staring at a bonnet" posting some time back, well, put the practice to good use couple of weeks back and attacked the 8 armed with a box of Bilt Hamber Clay, three bottles of Megs, (Cleaner, Polish and Wax) and the all important DA Machine Polisher that three of us bought between us. Lot of hard work but the results I think are very good.

Had to keep the sun off:D

This I think is the most impressive pic, this is actually a pic of the 8's door with the reflection of my sons car in it
Not as I thought when I saw it a pic of my sons car (All pics courtesy of Connor)

Excellent results Brian!! Now, when can you fit in doing mine for me? ( after the Laird of course, ahem :rolleyes: )

Very impressive Brian. +++ and looks good in the fleash too. I hope to get mine done this week ...weather dependent. :(

Looks lovely as usual Brian.

Just waiting for you to decide to sell ;)

You'd be more than welcome to do mine when I'm finishing the Laird's sunroof :D

could be the makings of a deal here, could give yours a go while you fix my sunroof+++

from 8.30 to around 18.00 minus probably about an hour for faffing with the Gazebo and a few minutes off for ham sandwiches and tea:tuttut:

47p2 9th June 2012 09:21 PM

That wasn't too bad then Brian, did you find the orbital any easier to use compared to my rotary?



EDIT

You do realise this is the start of OCD, have a look at this link, I'm sure it will help :rolleyes:
