I find that as well. It's quite relaxing. No doubt mine will get a good polish just before Carfest North which is not that far off now.

Just a few.

1.9 205 GTI.





Fiesta.



BMW 320.



Blue is not bad either.

1.6 205 GTI



Toyota MR2.

Bought the alloys which have just been refurbed. Standard silver although I am told slightly lighter silver than standard.
Bogie I like the black (graphite) wheels. I may have my spare set painted gloss black.

I go for low maintenance wheels on all my vehicles and have them done the same shade of grey

Apologies Kelsy I got my wires crossed, I was asking about the colour of Bogie's alloys.
They look graphite with a satin (non glossy) finish.
I am half thinking of recolouring my alloys but I am very unsure.as to whether it is suitable for a mature playboy like myself.

You spend far too much time on DW

[iPlod999]

Haha. I'm addicted!

This was the worse of my addiction.

Almost -3 on a Type R.





The products were freezing on the paintwork.

My Little 350Z after a 9Hr detail..
The Vantage is booked in for the same treatment!!

[George29]

Panigale

[DBDV8]

Yup!!
Panigale is also booked in for an end of season detail end of Sept!

No professionals for me these days. Meguiars, a DA machine and not forgetting OCD.

[Steve R7]

Very pleased with Zaino products on my P & J V12 Vantage

Like everyone else, I like a good reflection shot, but they don't actually show the true finish of the paint. Put some direct light on it and they might look a whole lot different.

Am I only one who thinks those racing suits in the picture of the garage above look a bit creepy?

You mean like this?

It is easy to make the car finish look good in photos but as you say, direct sunlight can reveal lots as I found out.
