Have to admit I feel the same ... if i was using my iBone i'd be pissed off with the load time

Try using an iBone and the pictures dont get re-sized and the page looks like the size of a football pitch

Have to agree there aswell....

They take forever to load due to them being massive. Once they're loaded the forum automatically resizes them though.
Just the initial loading of the picture's that takes forever.
Just in future try resizing them before you upload. I tend to make mine 800pixel's wide.

Problem is whoever uses an iphone it doesn't resize them

Enough of this resizing stuff. Just know for next time.
Back to the car, the sticker is vulgar, but if you like it fine.
Don't think many on here will rate turtle wax, there are much better shampoo's on the market. Have you ever had it clayed before? Trust me, it makes a real difference! Polished? Waxed?

wash and wax is a load of crap tbh fella
id much prefer use just a car shampoo then dry and then wax it
Try and wash a panel at a time as well because it was drying on the car. It maybe because you was taking pics though so I don't know. Apart from that it looks good.
I use Auto Glym bodywork shampoo conditioner with a wash mitt and dry with a microfibre cloth and that works ok for me.
