Good movie.

I need to polish / wax mine but it's so big it'd take me 2 days

Also will be dirty in 2 days, because black.

We've done yours before, it was a pain in the ass. Should take it to Dave for a polish then come past mine for a wax.

im actually getting tired of it with the gloria. sometimes its worth it. but when washing the car when its warm or even partial sunlight, its a race against time. Drying/chamois has never been so f**king time consuming AND so important. and mine isnt even daily. dunno how people do it.

found out trying photograph black cars at night in average lighting, with average camera skills is hard.

[UNR33L]

yeah i washed it the other week on a hot day.. ended up just as dirty when i began almost lol

dried up water dots everywhere, when it's clean looks goooooood though

been toying with the idea of selling one of my bikes, and convincing dad to go halfies build an old rotor, big block or similar with me.. wonder if he'd go for it. (torana, cortina, old mazda, datto 260 etc) club reg it

And that's why I changed the colour of my car from black to purple.

[Leroy Peterson]

^ good move.

Dont go rotar leigh...

First rule of rotaries: know how to build a rotary.

I was reading about the different porting you can do, and blimey it was scary how they can predict the life of the engine down to the 100's of kms (mind you, not too hard when things only last a few thousand of kms)

No ones discounting your polishing (pic below was pre-wax), but waxes deepen the shine; you saw the diff once it had it on there

Didn't I give you money too lol, cheap labour

Not sure, I was happy with the whiskey.

What sort of coatings on it.. Dry with a good wet micro towel to get the bulk off, ( not a fan of chamois)then spray some quick detailer or something on the towel and go over it again.. Still time consuming but can be done in 10-15mins..

I did say we could fix it, somehow..

Probably because some numpty fused the bumper the body, it cant be taken off for repair.. But we can patch it up if you want..

Anyway I'm too busy lately to do much.. Haven't washed my own cars for yonks

You can get a decent finish with megs and mothers, just needs reapplication a bit more often..
