Ahhh nice - shiney red ones are fastest.
You will have to compare notes with Just1. When he got his 111SR he didnt go for as drive, nope he put in the garage for 2 days while he zymoled it ready for the street. That car shines like a diamond.

Thanks guys.

Have to agree mine feels faster now its clean!

Washed, waxed and polished Sat morning rather than doing DIY jobs the wife had organised.

After a trip to Portsmouth and back today (in the rain and then sleet and snow) it will need doing again next weekend. Cant afford time in the garage as it needs to be driven. Just wish the weather was better i.e dry so I can take the roof off.

Glad i had the air con today as with it off the windows got steemed up quite easily.

Ah and other fun journey to work tomorrow. As long as the snow doesnt settle.

Thanks -

Used Turtle Zip Wax Car Shampoo, AutoGlym Super Resin Polish then Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection.

I even brought a mit to use rather than a sponge!

Surely a bit of a cheat??? This car has done 0miles. Only a car with 0miles has a stone chip free front like that. I am not sure the front of mine ever looked like that!

Gosh. So many people don't rate Autoglym, but as Tony says, the shine on your car is fantastic! If you look at my profile pic, that was done with quite an expensive wax and it's nowhere near as good a finish (although it was driven to the ring from Basingstoke before the pic was taken!).

Or ever will again, after 3 resprays, including 3 clams, mine looks good for about the first 10mins, then its downhill from there.......fast
