what..

 

 

you polished it in the rain on the stand..

 

 

lol lol

Yes between showers, But a handy tip from the back of the zymole "Cleaner wax" bottle is "Spray light water on the surface of the paint work and buff to a shine to give that ultimate show room finish" (Or something like that), Well rain is as good as anything dont you think? [:)]

Also you havent seen my antics on youtube, of me using a squeegy to "Dry" my car in the pooring rain?

 So no one has any tips on buffing up metal parts to a high chrome/metel polish?

Its not so much the polish, i need like a drill bit that buff up and do heavy duty polishing, saves my fingers and hands from dieing or repetative strain dissorder lol.

Oh i will doo.

I have made a few other cleaning improvements since i first posted my engine bay detailing pics in "Car care".

But theres a few thingas i want to buy, like the Samco,carbon/polished slam panel, chrome or carbon alt covers ect, Braiding to go over the pipework for the oil cooler, Chrome batt cover or Prodrive replacement batt clamp.

Its going to take time but hopefully it will look nice once its done.
