will try and post some pics of the shiny cars
Tempted to put up a pic of the cinq in it's current state in the garage just to horrify some clean freaks 
it's not red any more, it's brown and grey and is best served as a memory board as you can write in the dirt
The joys of sanding in confined areas
dustmasks aplenty :laugh:

It's a project car rule, they need to have some different colors on the bodywork until they are complete

And considering where it's stored it won't be long before the drivers side is green too

Oi! We have enough of a challenge with Yellow without you introducing new rules to scupper things further.
Mind you it's also stored in the shed...
Oh ****!
It's yellow and stoor at the moment - could probably use it as a memo board too. May as well considering FiaSco's currently being used as a blackboard to play noughts and crosses...
Well! Cleaned the Panda yesterday but ran into a spot of bother.
Washed the car and was making a start on the inside. The vac I'm using at the house is an old upright Dyson. Sat it on a mat, next to the car and started vac'ing. Pulled the house and ultimately dragged the hoover up against the drivers door. Which, of course, rubbed the already thin paint a nice scuffy grey. Oops.
A bit of tcut later and I think the worst of it is gone. Certainly didn't appear as noticable today, which is nice.
Oddly, the clean state of the Panda was comented on in Edinburgh today...changed days indeed!

The first and last pictures was a full 8 hour day lol, 3 stage machine polish using 3m products, auto Glym clay, auto smart tar and adhesive remover, quick jet wash with tfr, then used autoglym radiant wax polish (3 coats) then auto Glym hi def wax and then ape detail spray.. Long day but worth it
The other 2 are just quick washes with tfr, clay and polish using auto smart stuff can't mind the name lol.
Well worth putting effort into it

No bother mate! Good to know people near by lol, and I was a Valeter and was trained by auto Glym, but the first one I done was on my car, my car Noones going to complain lol, then moved onto a few of my mates cars like the black cupra that's in ghead, but if you've got the patience and prepared to make a mess then yeah I'd give it a go

Just thought if put up a few beading pics
Nice beading.
The only time I've had anything like that on my car is when Venters has had his hands on it. I consider it a success if I manage to wash the car and only miss a few bits :laugh:
