    Looks good David, did mine a few weeks ago and didn't get the same results. What do you (or others) use or get the inside of the wheels up to that standard? I used generic car cleaning stuff and some green pad.

    I can not tell as it's a trade secret, although I may be able to offer this service soon...

    Finally finished off the outside, although it was hard going with the temperature in the very high 20's. The pictures don't really do it justice. I reckon it's about 95% perfect.....I was too knackered to do any more

    I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.

    I've got 4 days off next week and I intend to go over no 88 with a fine tooth comb in pretty much the same way.

    All my neighbours just laugh at me and always have - its not my fault I suffer from OCD (obsessive car detailing)

    No 88 - gone but never forgotten.....
