Only spent a few hours on her, just a wash with halfords shampoo and a polish with Meguires "Cleaner Wax". Was looking at getting autogleam stuff but the Meguires was cheaper 8)

haha I saw that one coming :twisted:
Have to agree with you Timmo when ever I have used mer I have found it good for deep cleaning like a mild T-cut effect but for finishing off IMHO it is a waste of time, it cleans and polishes but really can't compete with the better waxes for sealing and bringing out the deep shine.
Just my opinion of course :D

Did the same last weekend but not the BX.

Weather was (is) great so i thought it would be nice to take care of the RX-7 and then go for a drive in the hills in Holland, and take some pictures.

We've got hills :?:
Yep, small ones but a hill is a hill :mrgreen:
Not everything is below sea-level.

Luke your spot on mate !as a t-cut type polish its great! as an additive to wash bucket its good! - but then so is tesco car shampoo! as a finishing polish its pants! there are lots of better products out there and many i swear by loL! for bringign out the depth of the colour you cant beet a good finishing polish and a carnauba wax!

Doc! drive her down to me matey! give me half a day and we'll have her shining! 8)
