Mine after a quick wash, note back to black on my summer tyres and although they cannot be seen in this pic, the tailpipes have been polished. Also note the beading of water on the soft top from liberal application of vinyl protection!

Still have to give it a good polish and clay but waiting for the weather to warm up a little bit more!

Great minds think alike, much the same as me, can't wait for the warmer weather so i can get some nice wax on there - i had forgotten what having a shiny car was like!

I'd still love a black one, nothing shines like it when it's spotless and polished up

Today was the first time I've had a chance to wash it since October.

It's a result of living in London in a residents parking area and being to tight to put a permit on the car when it usually live in a garage Then any Sunday I've been home since October it's poured with rain.

So it was while I was giving it quick wash this evening that I was pleased to see the door dings I had TGM remove have left the passenger door looking like new. Not enough time before dark to give it more than two buckets of Meguiars was and wax. should get more time in the next week or two to give it a proper going over.
