thanks guys, will post some more pics tomorrow.

want to get some black grilles (again), got some off ebay (covers) but wasnt happy with the fit
 
now edited with std pics also, i only blurred the edges to protect my neighbours anonymity!!

Rudd - off the buy and sell forum - in a job lot with some springs and rear cans
 
thought i had seen them before. they look awesome.

what did you use to polish the car? polish, machine etc..
 
this time it was just a standard shampoo and hand polish with autoglym ultra deep shine

usually i shampoo then machine polish with autoglym ultra deep shine. I then finish with autoglym extra gloss protection by hand.

Considering clay barring it once the weather improves.

Im going to have a trawl through the detailing section and get some new products. Want to get rid of the swirls in the top coat and apply a really good gloss coat to it.
 
same as i am looking for really.

i was wondering what machine you have. there are a few cheapish kits on ebay i was considering getting to get rid of my swirls once i have sorted a couple of parking dings
 
i have a halfords 240v one and to be honest dont think its that great. I use it to break the polish down after applying it by hand and then have to finish by hand anyway...

I was just reading one of your threads and i think we are both looking for the same thing !!

Hi Mate,
Those go faster bits look 8) :thumbsup:

I had my car fully detailed by Barry at Autodetox, after paying him a large sum of money (worth it BTW) I decided to invest myself. I got a Kestral DA with Menzerna kit (Barry used Menzerna polishes so I knew these would be fine) for about £150.

The DA doesnt quite have the bite of a rotary, and im impatient so might end up with a rotary as well, but take check out the Kestral DA.
