Gave them both a wash and the moonstone came up near perfect :top: The black one looked abit sorry for itself, the paint work seemed abit dull and there were a fair few scratches..

From the pic below you can see how sorry the paint on the bonnet was looking ( right side has been T-cutted, Polished, resined and waxed..)

Took me all of a hour and a half to get a 30x30 cm square to look like that but its all been done by hand :grin: and well wort it..


Today I also got the tyres fitted to my wheels and I got a pic of my brakes :DD:
