Fabulous looking car and a couple of great pics - I ran one of them through a couple of filters (would only let me copy a low res version though)

Brings out the drama!

Thanks for the nice comments guys and for voting.


Was interesting watching wax approaching a grand being applied by hand (literally).
Using palms of hands only the natural heat and oils react.

They even noticed a small area of paint missing on the wiper. Off it came, resprayed, job done.


Gave me a mild shampoo to wash the car from now on. That's all it will need to stay looking like this for the best part of 6 months as all the good work is under the sealants.

Awesome work !!
