That looks awesome!! I was actually going to ask - are there any real decent guides out there to the perfect clean? I am limited as I live in a top floor flat - so I have no running water or vacuum :( - I do my best though.

Very smart. Is it black or blue? It looks black but it's difficult to tell sometimes.

Yeah I use the same kit. Somehow it doesn't have the same visual impact on silver as it does on black.

Black is best :wink:

I've got some excellent tips that were emailed to me from a professional detailer, pm me with your email address as I assume he wouldnt mind me spreading the word.

I kid you not... Johnsons Baby Bath (blue bottle - no more tears!) is the most fantastic product for washing your car and being kind to your wax!!!!!!
