[Sidesport]

Who ever did your colour coding needs to be shot, they have done a really shit job.

Chris

Car looks spangly clean. Didnt even notice the colorcoding being off.

Think the stickers spoil the car though mate!

[PolishedBliss]

[srcnix]

Lovely looking car. Great effort!

[Dan]

Nice work Craig, cars looking good as usual. Interested to see what you've got up your sleeve?

[Craig]

[saxx]

good shine

but tbh its cheating when you've a black car they always look absolutely mint once they have been polished!

[Danr]

good shine

but tbh its cheating when you've a black car they always look absolutely mint once they have been polished!

Yeah, don't clean you car if its black, Its cheating wtf?

Car looks sweet craig :)

[saxx]

Yeah, don't clean you car if its black, Its cheating wtf?

Car looks sweet craig :)



i never said that at all

re-read the post

if you dont understand then ask

my point: the moment polish hits a black car it automatically looks stunning and glass like. easily and without extreme effort tbh

Silver/icelandic cars dont shine like that as easily or ever at all

[Kelly]

Silver/icelandic cars dont shine like that as easily or ever at all

I disagree, its all down to the polish you use. I must admit I've never had reflections from my icelandic grey 106 but that's down to me not knowing what products to buy for that kind of result.

[saxx]

you missed a phrase

as easily


what im tryin to get at is that a black car looking shiny is simple a silver/icelandic car lookin as fab as these pictures is rare and should be praised more so than this one

imo

[saxoash]

Dark colours produce more shine/reflection.

Saxx stop being a petty
