Default A few bufty pics of my 3dr
After years of using Autoglym stuff on my cars and being happy with it, a mate of mine took me to Autobrite Direct's shop a couple of months back, I didn't even know they existed let alone they were pretty much on my doorstep lol. Asked for some advice of the best things to use and came away with an empty wallet lol



Been using it ever since and have bought a few things since but I'm really impressed with it, got the chance to spend pretty much all of Saturday on it, washed, clayed, a few coats of Black Magic wax and Pproject 32 sealant to finish, plus the wheels off, cleaned inside and out, waxed and sealed, then went for a drive yesterday and it pissed down so time to start again lol

Pretty happy with how it turned out though so thought I'd share some pics, any opinions welcome



























Have a few little changes planned for the engine bay but I gave it a quick going over and it looks ok I think







Cheers, Karl
