Bloody hell thats been pampered all it's life if that's all original paint
Looks absolutely stunning

Glenn hd wax is good no ifs or buts but it's never been my preference personally or professionaly.Under the right lights that's when you see the full benefits. I've been using zymol for 10+ years but I've always been one for trying new products and have tried everything from meguiars to poor boys and everything in between and always go back to zymol every time. Remember when clarkson 'done up' the roller on top gear then drove it into the swimming pool but when he was working on it he ate some 'polish'. That was zymol lol

You don't need to buy it in 'wax' form as you can but it in a liquid aswell and halfrauds stock it and the wash and wax or eBay etc on

Would work well on yer mondeo

All original paint except the bumpers which have been re-painted,all original glass and panels and thankfully no rust. Its done 106,000 miles and bodywork wise it does get cleaned quite often but it is not a ""all show and no go" car. It gets properly driven and makes full use of its 450 bhp as often as possible!

I've just made a mess of myself that's my kind of saff

I'd still class that as original paint if it's only the bumpers that's been painted. It's more 1/4 panels and wings that need to be original. For 106k my hat is off to you sir. That is bloody mint

Just out of curiosity why has it got ambers?? Personal preference??

xr2john Thanks for your comments. Years back when clear indicators were all the rage I swapped the ambers on the front to clear ones but decided to go back to them as they are original to a 2wd Saff. I was lucky enough to find a pair of new old stock ones in Germany which only cost £68 including postage. I think it looks better with them and I am glad I did it.
