Have seen your Saph a few times at shows and when Cheshire came the N.Wales meet and i know how particular you are about things, your Saph is stunning!

This looks like its going to be on a different level! Will be keeping an eye on this.

Looks like you're doing a superb job




What did you use to get the underside that clean ??

I've got this job to do and any tips would be very welcome

The best tips i could give you is spray gunk under all the car and then power wash then start rubbing down with panel wipe
