Mike needs a car to polish up at the Growl to show off his products. I need someones car for this for both Saturday and Sunday. Any volunteers. Ideally a dark colour with faded paint/swirl marks etc. Not open to lazy barstewards who just can't be ar5ed.
I'll send the list to Mike who will make the final decision.
I am not on the list, just in case anyone asks.

Yes please! It's black, totally original paint after 90k miles, so plenty of stonechips & swirl marks. The boot lid is also a little faded.

Not lazy - I washed it on the Saturday morning at last year's Growl...

Would naturally suggest my own Griff but I fall in to the lazy category: dnb`s sounds far more worthy - surely a truer test of polishing product/ability can`t be found......no disrespect intended dnb, just yours sounds very deserving!

My cars quite crappy in the paint dept, it has swirls, sctatches and generally lacks a bit of shine. Im not lazy though as you will be aware Ive not had it that long and the mechanics are no1 to me at the moment. Every impovement that I make/see gives me a bit of momentum to get the car in better order so even if I am not succesful in getting it done this time I would like to see whats possible with the right products and methods.

Right here goes.

Can anyone who wants a demo at the "clinic" to report to Mike when they arrive and he'll slot you in, numbers permitting. He'll do an area (bonnet, boot, rear 1/4, rear screen etc) to show you what can be done with the products. You then buy said product and do the rest yourself, as you can't have one nice shiny bit and the rest dull. If time permits Mike may do more than a small area but I'm leaving it to his discretion.

If anyone wants a full detail the cost is £200 (30%0ff RRP).
