Post by locky on Jan 22^nd, 2006, 3:58pm

Just spent all day polishing the Scorpio, been using "Autoglym Ultra deep shine polish" followed by 2 coats of "Mothers California Gold" Carnuba wax.

My neighbours must think i'm nut's!

[] Whilst you, me and Andrew hide at the back [].

I'm greatly impressed by that wheel arch - I reckon he just does one for show and the others are muddy holes ;D.

Seriously Lauchlan it looks really good - are you out there today? - it's 0.3 deg C here so you'll need a heated bucket!!

Fantastic job and I'll be with the other guys hiding at the back with my rather grubby motor. Might drag she who must be obeyed out and get her to help me clean the beast.... sounds like a job for the weekend.
