One of my all time favourite cars. Just awesome and while it had seen better days in the paint department it came up pretty good not perfect but pretty good. (then again maybe Im too hard on myself)

All the usuall procedure with the wash and clay etc etc etc

then corrected the paint on everything but the bonnet with a Grey CCS pad and Menzerna 106FF on the rotary then also on the RO. The bonnet being pretty visable and flat got a little more work with 3M Perfect it III Rubbing Compound and White CCS pad followed by Menzerna 3.01 with another white CCS pad then the Grey CCS pad and Menzerna 106FF all on the rotary followed by the RO.

Sealed all up with Duragloss 601 and a Blue Cobra Cross Groove Pad
followed by Duragloss 105 and the Red Cobra cross groove pad both on the RO, I did also go round the car with 105 again by hand. Then washed it all down and applied a coat of Swissvax Scuderia followed by another coat the next morning while doing the interior. Which had swissvax leather cleaner and leather milk. Tyres got polycharged bold n bright (thanks Dave). Glass was polished with Auto Glym Glass Polish.

Hey, DBS, great work as usual. Something is wrong with that car though... I just can't put my finger on it.... oh, yeah, that steering wheel is just completely on the wrong side of that car! :shock: Sorry, couldn't resist. :lol:

LOL who is Dave..

I did it again hey. Just like last time this was lifted from another forum I visit. Dave is the owner of waxit.com.au a local online premium car care products supplier.

As for the wheel on the wrong side, when I do left hand drive cars over here I am forever thinking the same thing.

Yep, making a living at your craft is great but it sure nice to get a "pat on the back for yourself" like this, huh? :D

Congrats! It would be cool if the owner took pics of the event and a pic
of the trophy for your website. Bragging rights baby!
