? was it you Jim. we were in taking the kids swimming.

yip, was me.
Was in Swimming!!!

I guess you were in something sensible

Yep, was in the family bus!

Do you do all your own valeting? Cause ill have to get some tips...your car was looking pristine!

Yeah, all my own work ( NOT!!)

I refer the Honorable Gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago: http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb/vie ... 6524#86524

/off Prime Minister wannabe mode

next gen ! i went there for a couple of years when it opened. Felt it was starting to get a little run down. How is it these days ?

will need to read your valeting tips too. I have washed the car 3 times in 7 days. Using HALFORDS ADVANCED CAR SHAMPOO in hot water. Great for cleaning but not as shiney as the day i purchased from the dealer.

Can anyone recommend something to add more shine ?

Cheers

I use turtle wax extreme... seems OK to my uneducated eye (not having the luxury of being able to afford the detailers !!).

To finish it off, I run over the body work with a damp microfibre cloth... they are very good.

If I could be bothered (but can't), then I guess I should put some polishing wax on or something.

thanks for that Andy. So turtle wax and a microfibre cloth. will pop up to halfords sometime and have a look. sounds a little more economical than jim's ultimate solution .... still need to get myself a pressure hose too.
