Nice and shiney, but your chevron looks out of place...!

[Craig]

it may change yet

[lozi_murias]

May be a wee bit off-topic Craig, but why did you mask off your lights and window seals before washing?

Sorry, just seemed a bit random...Anyway, the car looks great - nice chronological pictures too - that menzernas stuff certainly looks worth a try!

[Yates]

nice orange peel on your rear quater, can you not just of put these pics in the thread where you bought the wax? i know its a cleaning forum, just you seem to post pics EVERY time you clean your car, and yes its clean, but in all honesty it just looks the same every time, no change i dont think you need this many threads

[Yates]

[Craig]

many pointless threads, involved in to boost post count okay.

[dsh85]

craig like i said before!

do my car mate ;)

[Yates]

many pointless threads, involved in to boost post count okay.

i dont make pointless threads, i hardly ever make threads,all im saying is, is there a need to make new posts every single time u pick up your bucket and squirt a bit of water on your car? why not just put all pics in one thread?

[Craig]

Because i choose too :P

[Andyt]

Looks really nice mate, good job.

[Dan]

Good job Craig, looks great!

[Billog_VTR]

looks super shiney but again why all the tape?

[hesslevtr]

tapes to stop the polish going onto the rubber seals

not sure why hes only put it on certain bits though

[Craig]

there progress pics hessle i did the whole car

[PolishedBliss]

Nice results Craig, I can see a difference, in the above pics the reflections are crisper than before, though dare I say it the overall look isn't quite as deep. But, for an all in one product that shifts minor defects and protects superbly, Acrylic Jacket is hard to beat. :)
