Looks like a compulsory place to apply defensive driving techniques.

P.S. How do you get your car so clean? The red looks great in the shining sun!

ALL Meguiars products + 2 bucket wash not a sponge or chamois leather in sight...microfibre wash mit OR lambs wool wash mit...loads & loads of microfibre drying cloths...that way you don't scratch it before, during or after washing it! Carnuba wax once a year!

To be fair, it was the previous owner - Booster - who did all the hard work...I just do my bit in trying to keep it that way! (when I'm home, that is!)

Does look good though - thanks for the compliment! There are guys on here with way more knowledge than me on the subject...maybe they'll give you a few 'secrets'!

You don't know half of it!! Where we are, we're 2,500ft ASL - he's taken off from here & gone another 500' in altitude but NOT altered the millibar reading on his altimeter...hence the 'low' pass on a public road (which is an emergency runway anyway!)

But, then again, he's not in a helicopter is he? Slightly quicker at 450/500knts, I'd say!! lol.




No disrespect meant - you're geting shot at (possibly) too!!!

higgster - I suggest a good local detailer you'll find in local Yellow Pages (they're not called car washers now!) & watch how he does it...then do it yourself.
Swirls are a pain...you just need the right product to get rid of it, again Meguiars is good stuff! And that Aston Martin recommended stuff, the name of which escapes me just now!
