Very nice John, I've got to be honest, they suit the car much better than the BBS, they don't look as bling.

Step one: prep. Applied with broom in forward and back motion.
Step two: polish, Apply using only the finest monk pubes.....

all in good time my friend
only available in usa at the minute
i have been watching it for a while and have been asked by a good friend out there to beta test the products

iam impressed

very impressed to be fair.maybe more depth than zaino but its ealy days.

zaino is and always will be very very hard to better tho wax/polish is very much like beer in as much that people will always have their favourites and each to their own

but the fundementals remain the same

quality finish is largely down to the extent to which you prep and that is and always will be the key

Fucking Crap. They aint got dimonds on them and they dont spin with flashing lights coming from them either. I think you need to come to booty skool Jon :wink:

I hope you code the centres in that graphite you had on your old wheels. That with polished lips will be a killer.

And i hope you are kidding about this new product too cause i have £250 worth of Zaino waiting to be unleashed and dont fancy parting with the same for another product just yet :D

John you executive !, them rims look spectacular.
I am a bit miffed though ,i had no problem taking "caviar" volumes 1,2 and 3 and "private,the bareback years" as part payment but i have since found that all the 'creampie' and 'watersports' specials are missing, as a serious 'collector' this ommission seriously compromises my 'reading' pleasure. :)

pete i can only apologise but i couldnt part with them in the end tho in all honestly i felt that "piss swiggers 3" and "pet bangers 8-down on the farm" more than made up for them.

pete you are proper star and it was great to see you.I can only apologise for Tim he is a real deviant and beyond help really and will ,iam sure,appear on the front of a sunday paper before long.

.this man has more proper chariots in his back yard than most will ever see on the road let alone own.
