I get mine done when I get the car detailed.

Far easier to let someone else use up all their elbow grease and not mine.

Nicely started Gareth

I forgot to say but I had picked one up recently and this is what it looked like...



I've had a little start but not finished it just yet, looks like you have that one about ready to polish up there.... do you want to call around and I'll show you how to finish it off ?
