    Anyone getting the bug yet?

    The sun's taken it's hat off lately, and the weather is generally quite warm - time to start thinking about what shows you want to do this year, and to make a start getting your car in good shape.

    Maybe this will wet the apetite a little. Nothing fancy, but a good old fashioned 50/50 from a Vauxhall Astra.




    Worth stocking up on a few items, clay, polish, wax...

    Summer's a coming!!

    Cracking 50/50.
    Can't wait to give mine another buzz over with some finishing polish just to sharpen it up a bit.

    On that note, what's your favourite?

    Cheers Alan.

    Hmmm.. decisions decisions...

    Scholl S30 gives a lovely sharp finish, but for total awesomeness when it comes to the wet look, Scholl S40.

    Ironically, the above was just from a single stage enhancement - 3M Extra Fine.

    Im technically off that day so will have to say, limited time off, £4,987,545,535,344.89 in fuel etc...

    It will only be in a couple of days, where the wing bolts too the boot lid the wing flexs under load obviously and it flexs the panel, cracking the paint and letting water in, so its just a bubble, get it stripped, treated, filled and painted up and they'll put a gasket under the wing to help prevent it occuring again.
