Pleased to see the lovely X1/9 Gran Finale (the only Exxy there as far as I could tell) won the Experts Choice award. It was absolutely pristine.

That is very shiny and very lovely...Good work.

Very shiny, great work, Dave - deserved the attention!

Can't stop looking at that GS Spyder as well...with very green eyes.

Oh dear ... I'm known in town for my "extreme" shirts.

A "shirt-off" might be in order some day?

Dave,
Don't wory mate, I have a shirt very close to that one, wear what you want my man it looked OK to me. Yes a "shirt off" might be in order, I will have to polish my abs and pecks up a bit though before that...???

Stuart,
Sorry we missed you mate, it would have been nice to compare notes so to speak, next time hopefully.

Cheers

Pretty much take your pick on fleabay but go for a medium & make sure if it is your first go you use the proper lube and plenty of it...

99% came off with just a wash, just hit one or two spots with some intensive stuff the guy left me. Does claying strip any wax finish off?

 

[hodroyd]

Clay Bar takes out the tiny specs stuck to the paint / wax finish that build up over time, the specs stick to the clay, but you have to keep turning the clay to make sure no specs actually scratch the paint. It will take off some of the wax, but that's what you need to get the best finish.

Ta, better get the little man with the expensive pot back then!

Yes Robert, next time for sure and hopefully mine will be in better shape by then too - a bit of a work in progress but getting there!

cant do that Newton, I'm not allowed to clean cars. When I start the OCD takes over...next thing you know I have the whole **** thing in bits. Not too much of a problem...it's the 10 left over bolts once I've put it back together that worry people

 

[2b1ask1]

So can I blame you then for my car being in a thousand pieces after 'cleaning' it the other week?

 

[Grinzzz]

sounds like you have my problem. Beware the left over bolts!

 

[CatmanV2]

'Pocket Screws' is the technical term
