So... are you saying you're really flaky?




Looks great!

Thanks sir.. Remember that sealant or wax is no good if the surface is not fully prepped.

Superb finish, as ever

Oh, and can I say how jealous I am of your garage? Another downside of living on this little island is a serious lack of space. I'm lucky enough to own a nice 4-bedroomed house with a double garage and that's considered pretty big over here, but compared to yours..........

Paul, thank you kindly man....

However, with you living in England with a gorgeous 05 and a stunning e46, one might say we are envious if you

Nice setup you have there as well... A 4 bedroom in Europe is probably worth 2 mansions here!!!

Haha, thank you mister..........yes, property is never cheap in England, especially in the South. Still, at least we are guaranteed good weather. Oh no, that's not right either

Anyway, back on topic..........Marilyn's a lucky girl to have you looking after her

Try a layer of a nice carnauba wax over the OC. It will give it "warmth"...

Z to 5.. I shouldn't try typing when I am exhausted!
