Looks stunnings, worth the 15 hours!

[Ben...]

Cheers Mate! Yer definitely!

Happy with the result.. First time I've clayed and waxed a car

Looks good mate! worth the 15 hours! have you found the paint on the top of the door alot thicker than the bottom yet or is that just on white? when detailing mine using the paint depth reader there is a massive difference!

ouuffftt!
Its looked dead funny on axle stands! Hover Car
I bet thats the best your car has ever looked since it left the factory!

I am going to give mine a full detail next time I wash it, need a few more Mircofibre towels and I've ordered a little £7 tub of Dodo Juice. See what its like.
Wish Ford had bothered to fit rear disc's. I didn't want to paint the drums red, because then it more obvious that we don't have discs. I see you feel the same way.

Did find that a lot of areas had a thinner layer of paint. But that was only visually.. Don't have a paint thickness reader

But it does look the best it has done. I had it from 9 months old, so wasnt brilliant when I got it. Also when I got it, I washed it with just a bucket and a sponge until last summer when I started to read up more on washing properly

Ye I tried to get the picture so it looked like it was floating

I bought one of the small tubs of dodo juice too. Was fine for 2 coats of wax over the whole car. Had a small amount left

And ye that's how i felt about the drums too!

Got the domed plates from http://demonplates.com/

I ordered those plates you mentioned and I'm waiting for them to arrive! Thanks

[Ben...]

No worries!

They're awesome plates. Everyone with pressed plates prefers mine to theres

[telwick]

Any more updates ben? and are pressed plates illegal? as a few people round here have been pulled with them on!

[Ben...]

Well the heat has caused me some inconvenience

The glue I used for the headlining and pillars softened a lot over the last couple of weeks with the weather

This meant the leather went all creased and the suede started to come loose

So I am now getting the pillars flocked and I will be finding a decent glue to re do the headlining

Haven't had a problem the plates so far (touch wood)

[telwick]

gutted for you mate what glue you use on the lining etc as i do it all the time at work and we never ever seem to have a problem with things like that?
