Well ive been gone a while, between work, holidays and house shopping ive not really had time to put into cars.
The Aston went and was replaced by a truly terrible knee jerk reaction Z3, That lasted 4 months before being sold. So anyway yesterday i picked up this.
E46 320d, 1st impressions are great. really love it.
1st day of ownership and a trip over to the guys at CAD - http://www.cheshireautodetailing.com
The car seems generally to be well looked after with the paintwork clearly having a recent polish. Unfortunately the engine bay seems to have passed them by.

there was tonnes of tar on the car, it look a good amount of time to remove all of that so the polish could be applied later.
and after a good wash it was off inside.

Very happy! Ive never had anything like that done to my car before i usually just wash them myself... badly. Im so impressed I'm not considering having some proper paint correction done.
