Nice work

gannet, your swirls are straight lines in the shape of bushes though and no torch needed to see those oke:

Looks good. But personally I don't go looking for swirls as then I'll know they're there and I'll only get frustrated when I can't get rid of them.

I knew you would find this thread.

Swirls, hopefully history as some point, but not before the London meet, just a coat of polish for now.

Although I am very impressed with your electrical DIY skills srhutch, you have just confirmed that there are limits to the detailing fetich that I thought I was developing

I am with the other guys - I know they are there, this would break my heart as I'd never have the time to get rid of them all

Better make sure I don't do the boot to well then, it might let the rest of the car down if we swap boots :wink:

As soon as I posted that I knew you'd bring up the boot. I'll make sure at least that bit of my car doesn't have any swirls or scratches at all, just for you

Nothing wrong with looking to close, which is why I want rid of swirls.

It's trying to find problems that aren't there that's got you the OCD badge oke:

Who am I to talk though my car is the one thing I am OCD about though

You could have fooled me - still have to see the car in a semi clean state yet oke:

 

[srhutch]

It will be semi clean next sunday as long as it's not raining and you clean your lane up. oke:
