OK so finally got a couple of pics together, first one the day after i collected it from the dealer:

and one from earlier today after my first serious attempt at detailing (found Nova2k7's detailing guide verrrry useful!). 4.5 hours - washed, polished, sealed and waxed, unfortunately i forgot to buy wheel wax (can you use ordinary wax on wheels?! probably a dumb question!!). Used Sonax profline polymer net shield, will be interesting to see what happens when it rains tomorrow!

must say i'm pretty chuffed with my efforts
although i feel like i've got 2 dead arms!
