I recognise those tiles - got the same in my garage and workshop.

Best thing I ever did !

Dotti ?
Not sure of the name / product - seen a pic of yours in the mud flap thread and they do look the same / very similar? Agree, I like my floor too - moved house a couple of years ago and the garage was the first area to get done!

Ha! I wouldn’t be so sure, sometimes wish I hadn’t started but always seen to get there in the end? I guess it’s some sort of cleaning / polishing OCD! I don’t drive them when salt is on the road so may as well clean them and get them ready for the spring? Gets me out of the house and away from the wife too!

My next job is putting the ceramic coating I’ve got for the wheels on the calipers.

Should help stop the brake dust caking.

Got around to doing a second ceramic coat on the wheels and used the remaining fluid to ceramic coat the calipers and painted part of the hubs.

Dean, Pete

I bet it would be far better, far cheaper & I'd happily pay you for it!

I'll post it when it arrives to remove any doubt!

As I think a few others have said, I think the new Vantage is so spec- and especially colour-sensitive - particularly the rear view. This combo certainly suits my eye!

Couldn’t resist the morning sun. Ice warning on the dash but heating full on…. Lovely.

Took a photo of the splitty using the reflection in the rear bumper. I’ve started doing a bit of detailing whilst the weather’s bobbins.

This is after the compounding stage, prior to final polish and then waxing.
