I decided a couple of weeks ago to buy myself a porter cable and try and make the old car look good so got onto the detailing websites and read up on all the gear ended up spending around £600 sounds a lot but most of the stuff will last ages. took a couple of photos tonight and thought id share them as im well impressed especially as it was my first attempt this was 14 hrs of work i nearly gave up a couple of times but now im glad i stuck at it !






decided to give the engine bay a wee touch this was just a spot of degreaser and a brush needs a lot more work yet!




i think she looks well only now i dont want to get it dirty what do u all think

I stick to what i've used in bodyshops....farecla g3, g6,g10, farecla polish and then some wax on top!

I want, I want, I want!!!
