Default Polished my new Cosworth today...

As it brightened up i decided to give the cossie a polish although to be honest it was already pretty good as had been looked after so well.I had heard good things about about Poorboys blackhole so gave this a try, followed by a coat of nattys red.Both products were very easy to remove and with no dust , great for black






Also gave the leather a clean with gliptone jelly , this came up great to although was also good to start with.

Overall for me its a better all round car as the s2 was really built for the strip/track. The cossie is better for me to go to the shows in , plus now my son is getting older he enjoys coming to them to and being a 4 door is more practical.I think this is the first car ive ever bought that i can honestly say theres hardly anything i need to do to it as its pretty much spot on

It was more the only having to seats, the noise and the overall drive of the s2 that made it really not great for me as an all round car which is my own fault in a way for making it partly like that.The cossie will only come out on nice days like the s2 used to but at least with this its easy to drive and comfy and the main thing that i wanted it has 4 seats.So all in all im made up, plus the s2 has gone to a great home

Have a couple of these at work but they tend to flick polish everywhere and didnt want to spend ages getting it off everything as to be honest the paint is very good, just a few light swirls.
