Good to hear of fellow member's helping each other out and also that Alan has kept his enthusiasm for detailing since we met a long time ago sorting out his Octy.....

LOL - his enthusiasm is unreal! He's texting me first thing every weekend

wanting to have a go at the R36 and improve the paintwork. He also very

kindly helped get the back wheels off...... i cleaned and polished those and

he painted the hubs silver and cleaned up the brake calipers with AG-SRP.

The rears look stunning now! Just need to find a free weekend to do the fronts.

Alan really has the bug and is always looking to improve the finish on his VRS - top-bloke!

Totally Ste,

Think the wheels are past the point of anything but a good clean. Def in need of a refurb. Would love to get the car polished up as before to get it sorted for another year.

It may do a lot of miles, but still looks great when polished up.

Just wish i'd had it from new as i love the Vx pearl black!

I'm sure we will get it ship-shape mate; to see it ok for another year pounding on the miles!

Those wheels do need a good refurb for sure. I have a healthy supply of AS Tardis ready for the

tar spray too.

Nice Avatar btw - that Blue VRS looks familiar!

Oh yeah thought you'd recognise it lol

Cheers Steve , your a top bloke too, I have sat and Sunday off, maybe we could do the wheels Sunday morning before the grand prix, and yes Johns car is a 58 plate, I finished his in the afternoon, about 2 so if it was then it would have been shiny. ! He was asking about yours as well, keep trying to persuade him to join Brisky!

Can I ask a daft question?

Is this Black hole stuff very similar to Coloured waxes, such as Turtle Wax's Colour Magic?

I use Black Colour Magic and very tempted to buy PH Black Hole, but wondering if it's basically the same thing?

John's car was looking really good - must have been Friday just after you finished!

Colour Magic is dreadful stuff

So No...Its not like that at all

Get some ..You wont be disappointed

Cheers Chris - Alan's got the VRS looking great and made a great start on the R36.

I think we were a bit gentle on the starting compound; and he's eager to get tough on the swirl marks! lol

Hes getting there Steve!

The silver paint is much thinner and easier to use, the black Hammerite is like creosote and Chris stop being so patronising, but I know you cant help it
