On wed night me and my bro went upto his work place and spent a few hours on the car. So anyway be washed the car with - Dodo Born to Be Mild shampoo then chamoi (sp) leathered it dry.

then we cleaned all the engine bay with just some clean rags and water



Then we came to the important parts Polish / Pre Wax cleaner - Dodo Juice Lime Prime and then the Wax - Dodo Juice Light Fantastic (Soft) all products smell awesome 
Any we took some picys and here are the results, i would just like to say its bloody good stuff, very very easy to apply and remove even for a novice. So anyway enjoy...


























Then we had a bit of fun with the lights and the camera.











Cheers Rich again mate thanks.

its really nice. its just a shame the camera cant do it justice.
you need to get it cleaned etc like it is there, and get out somewhere with a proper camera and get some proper pictures.

Glad you got on well with the Dodo stuff 
Now when you wash it, try to add a layer of wax, once a week for about a month - that will build up the gloss and durability even more. Once the months done you'll be able to get away with just washing it for quite a while 
HID's and sorting out the rear plate would be

Sorry to those budding david baileys out there but been a mechanic I am not a pro with a camera. Due to work commitments I could only take the pictures at night.sori if anyone is upset by my SHITE pics.

Its good stuff, i did my step brothers GT2 in it and it came out trumps. but the paint is still new and relatively unmarked so it doesnt take a lot of good wax to bring it up. Plus any good detailer will tell u the best finish is all in the preparation. you can have £3000 of zymol wax but if you didnt de-swirl and flat the paint first then no wax will make it look its optimum.
anyway heres the pics i took, note the refletions are quite good for a dull day and a shite camera.

the original pics i took were good but putting them through photobucket seems to have made them a bit more grainy.but on the laptop the pics still look ok.
