It is me, or is this - <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/ads/detail.asp?i=28805&s=6">www.pistonheads.com/ads/detail.asp?i=28805&s=6</a> just absolutely stunning?
No relation to the seller etc, it's just that Cerbies don't usually have that effect on me.

Something as gorgeous as that could easily tempt me back into TVR-dom. Shit that's nice!

I think that might have just settled my "Moonraker Black" or "Saffron Pearl" debate for the respray.

Bet it doesn't look like that after 5 mins out on the highways of our fair isle...

Mine is Moonraker Black, and now I've seen this I've GOT to spend the entire weekend with the polish.

Must try harder!

She's mine. Takes about 4 hours to get it to that shine. I used the Maguire's 3 stage process. Paint cleaner, polish and wax. Unbeleivable results but god does it kill. i spoke to one of their 'polishing consultants'!! in the states and he recommended rubbing in line with the contours of your car rather than round and round. Worked a treat. No swirl marks and no glimmer.

Yeah I know, I am crazy. Im in a difficult dilema, we are expecting our second child in November and therefore family useage is restricted to say the least.
At the moment I am using it to commute to work
about 50 miles per day and use the wifes GTI at the weekend for family trips. The problem is that with two kids the golf isnt very practical. Therefore the only real option that is fast and practical and looks good is in my opinion the Audi S4 Avant. They are bringing out a new shape in January.

Paul, can I ask how many days it takes before it looks dull and non-shiny again? Cheers.

Because the treatment gives the paintwork such a high resolution, it still shines through the dirt. I wash it every weekend with the Maguires recommended shampoo and conditioner!!!! and it is back to its full glory. The treatment starts to fade after about 8 weeks. The only problem is the finger prints every time you touch the car.

Paul, try Megs NXT wax, this stuff really does live up to the hype, amazing!

Paul

Beautiful car, clearly much loved and I'm sorry to hear of your predicament (although you could argue self-inflicted )

So are you going to train the new owner how to use this fabulous system too?

I hope so coz I think I will be giving you a call when I'm back from my travels next week...
