Cars look very nice indeed mate.

I am very tempted to clean my engine up, can't beat those red inlets!

If you've never tried it, this stuff really works well :

http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/p...6ml-473ml.aspx

Be sparing with it as despite what the testimonials say, it is / can be pretty tough to buff to a shine - only if you put way too much on. A very thin layer is enough, then maybe 2 layers if you have time.
Works a treat though, and I'll be using this stuff regularly.

I also use Ultimate Snow Foam, Poorboys slick suds, Bilt Hamber Claybar then R222 wax. The above link is my latest to be added to my cleaning stuff.

I chose Bilt Hamber claybar as you can use tap water as a lubricant.
You clearly use decent cleaning / clays on your car, and it shows.

Its very odd as these wheels were put on 2 years ago brand new, as when the car was for sale the guy that brought it didn't like the Pff7's that were fitted so the subaru garage had took delivery of the last stock of these a few weeks before and he preferred them so they changed them over :@ can't believe it :'(

The Karcher lance I got from the ultimate finish is fine itself, but it's the thread on the plastic bottle that's pants.

I can only turn it so far, and it comes undone again. Just means I have to hold the bottle in place thats all. Was a bit gutted though, and should've sent it back - it cost about £50 aswell! lol

ps, can I have your PPP please!
