Default Cleaned the Evo

With a rare sunny day i thought i'd take advantage and try get the car white again, as it's been brown/black for the last few weeks.

Used the new Carlack kit from Polished Bliss, which replaces the Werkstat kit (which was excellent).

Car has come out fantastic, although hard to see the shine on a white car

Probably 4 hours, but that includes plenty of tea breaks

ide have one but I don't know anything about them, so I wouldn't know what to look out for when buying, the evo 6 has always been my favourite but wouldn't rule out an 8

The 6 has always been my favourite Evo
I remember the advert for it when it came out which said 0-60 in 6.5 secs that would be good wouldn't it but in an Evo 6 that's 0 to 60 & back to 0
Very nice Gary BTW

Looks great fella. Gone are the days sadly when I see any Evos around here, in fact I can't remember the last time I saw an Evo here in years. I remember (here we go) sitting behind one in my 2 year old 306 GTi6 back in the day and it took off and made my car look like an Eco bike.
