Nice work Andy.

Pro Finish Shamoo - (presume that`s from Smarter-World?) how are you finding it? I`ve got some of their Liquid Platinum and the Nielsen Liquid Gold which are both very nice.

How are you finding the Wheel Brightener? I`ve got some on order with Alex.

Great stuff. I don`t know which of the Jag shots look wetter - before or after!

Sounds a bit generous with the Mother-in-law though ( I charge mine a slightly discounted rate )

Awesome job :xyxthumbs I really like the hood shot of the Jag. Those seats are super white!

Nice old skool Adidas and shoe lace job! That`s so 1980`s Run DMC! I remember when I was a kid everyone wore their shoes like that.

The Jaguar and 205 look real smooth, makes me want to touch the screen :nervous:

The Astra also looks smart :xyxthumbs

Thanks gents.

Craig - Pro Finish shampoo is spot on for "pre polish" washing - I tend to stick with Sonax, Zymol etc for wash only jobs. It foams up quite a bit, shifts grime really well and sheets pretty good too plus as with most S-W products, it`s flippin cheap!

Wheel brightener - better than Wonder Wheels without the fizzy acid effect if that makes sense
