That beautiful arse you see in his Avatar is really his (honest!) but you'd never believe it to look at his face!!! Welders bench, Chopped sticks, Gargoyl, are some descriptions that come readily to mind  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) :y

Spot on matey & nice to see you've done the glass in & out. So many miss this. The claybar is good if the car has'nt been done for a while. I machine polish which needs a handwax after to seal but machine polish only needs doing 2 or 3 times a year.
    She's a credit to you. :y

The car had little or no wax and I thought it was a good idea to get some on to protect against the weather. Also, I quit drinking at Christmas as I need to lose a few pounds and get a bit fitter; as I result I'm bored to death on the weekends even with the kids to keep happy and the wife to look after ;) ;) :)

Thanks, my next job, after purchasing a pressure washer and foam lance will be to buy a rotary polisher. I'd appreciate advice on polishing as I don't want to ruin the car and I can't afford a £200 paint depth gauge :-[
