Just finished polishing the Subaru started it yesterday, used some turtle wax I've had for years in the garage specially for silver paint, its come up really nice for a 17 year old vehicle SWMBO absolutely refuses to change it so may as well keep it up to scratch .

we had a Zafira B on the fleet for 2 years , not as good* as the Zafira A that's still in use daily  :)

* not as well made, not well rust protected , more expensive to buy and maintain
