Looks good mate, decent job!
If you have some money spare soon, I would invest in a better wax. Something like chemical guys 50/50 would be my choice, its expensive but should like a couple of years and does a brilliant job!

Cheers dude. It is something I've been after. Is that a liquid wax? I prefer liquid wax as its easier to work with!

Nah its a clear wax, liquid is a pain in the arse I find as its goes everywhere.
I was hesitant to spend £40 on a wax but when I did, I never turned back!

If i spent two grand on some wax and polished my car with it and then polished one identical next to it with some chemical guys 50/50 i bet 9/10 people wouldnt spot the difference.
And then my gf and friends would leave me as i spent two grand on some wax for my 10 year old car.
edit to add, polo looks clean!

Yeh, I suppose it must last years, while something like 50/50 lasts 3 or 4 months.

So do I, but the wax layer stays there obviously. So the longer it lasts the better.

Cheers dude, and don't think it was mine, OZ turbos are fairly common split rims, and I can think of about 10 6n2's on them. So probably another one!
