I think you should seek help!

[docevi1]

could your images get any bigger? I couldn't get them in on BB quickly

Impressive shine! Shame you only show one panel - is that all you did

[_Al_]

Er yeah - the pics could do with a bit of a trim, but I guess that's not the point is it?

[TheExcession]

You've missed a bit, on the bottom one.

[DanH]

I've bought a carbon starter kit to go on the noble, just need the car now!

I was a bit underwhelmed by the smell to be honest. Smells like suntan lotion to me!

[pies]

Very good

Which zymol was it?

[Mr2Mike]

Excellent polish, probably the best I have ever tried, but I do find it bloody hard work to get a smear free shine. Instruction recommend putting a small amount of water on and repolishing if it streaks, I found it much more effective to just "huff" onto the paintwork.

[mustard]

This one!

used the water as instructed, when on and of quite well

[DanBoy]

I don't know what's more worrying:

The fact that you spent so much time and expended so much effort polishing your car!

Or the fact that you then took photos of it!



Nice job though. Don't you just hate it when people say "You can do mine after that if you like."

Same here, love the smell in the garage when you go back in the next morning

[DanBoy]

[dumbass]Do you think it smells more of Banana or Coconut?

I can't decide.[/dumbass]

FREAK

Mustard, don't want to sound snobby (mwahahaha ) but thats not 'proper' zymol. The real stuff doesn't start until 42 quid for a pot of wax, and the proper proper stuff is even more (the latter you are meant to apply using your hands!).

Christ almighty. Cheapest car polish is £42. Must be joking.

If the shine on this car came from the banana blue stuff then you can shove £42 a pot.

[Mr2Mike]

They even have marque specific waxes! Volvo wax, Saab wax, and worrying Ital wax. Wonder if it's ok for Marinas too?

[mustard]

Yep, As Mike says @ £42 your not just anally retentive, think you have to have disappeared up your own backside to pay that! LOL

....give me a few years!

No that was my point (well the point was mostly to tease Mustard). He used the wash & cleanse stuff which is more sensibly priced. I've seen a car with the expensive stuff on and it looked fantastic (it was my current car when I bought it). I've just bought a 'starter kit' in a charity auction last month so no idea how good it will look when I use it as it may just be my car was in fantastic shape when I got it. Its all a bit fetishistic and certainly not good value though.

Dunno, but if it can polish rust it must be pretty powerful stuff...

Its ok, if you don't buy/sell through dealers you have the spare cash
