My wax IS the sealant though isn't is?
I enjoy waxing my car, so if a wax provides a nice finish, and is a joy to apply, then I will go for that, over a wax with a similar final finish, but is a lot harder to apply.
Exactly, surely I won't need to touch it with polish for a while after it's been corrected?
Tbh, I want to start doing as much of the cleaning and drying by a touchless method as possible, so things like AF Citrus Power will be getting used, and I'm tempted by an air force blaster.
I want to...
I know it's had a lot of Photoshop but this is my 2.5 hour effort from tonight :)

Used Radial blur set to Zoom effect, basically anyway, then did a lot of cloning to tidy the edges up, smudge tool to pick out intricate areas.
I didn't play too much with the curves as I liked the colours of the standard shot.
Experimenting tbh, I've looked at Youtube videos for other things...
Okay, guess lying gets you nowhere, it is of course, a Photoshop, but I'm really happy with the results, took about 2.5 hours to do in total :)

Gave the car a full detail on Saturday in prep for the big Chester meet, we all know what the cleaning stages look like, but I did do a few new bits.
Added Velcro coins to the number plates so I can remove them for photos/cleaning :)
Filthy behind them when I first took them off!
Clio Detail...
Test drive would be better as not everyone has live, like I've got live, but not connected to the interweb as I'm redecorating, I'd like to be able to join in on these though :)
My phone went apeshit when we left Lymm and took us south on the M6, so we had to turn round at junction 19 and come back! :o
Probably why you were ahead of us!
The Cerbera had a 4.2 & a 4.5 V8. They also did a 4.0 Straight 6 in that car too.
The Chimera had a 4.0, 4.3, 4.5 & 5.0 V8 over the course of it's production too.
There were a couple other TVR's that had V8s but I only recall the Cerebra and the Chimera atm :)
Chris, did you get a photo/video on the motorway from Seb's car in the convoy?
You were in front of me and I could see you with what looked like a camera/iPhone or something holding it up, facing backwards, I was wondering if you've got it?
Watching Topgear at 9 so I've had chance to do the photos. Not a huge amount, but they sum up the day up to a point :)

Great meet, big thanks to Ash.
My apologies go out to those in the convoy, I thought a trip down the junction 19 would be nice! ;)
Personally think we shouldve met at SP Automotive first, trying to find it was a complete fucktastrophy, people doing u-turns and stopping on a major A road was...
Yeah mine is looking jolly shiney as well.
Right I'm off out for the night, I will see you all tomorrow, remember we leave at 10:20 sharp!
Will be taking it easy on the motorways, so anyone with photographers in the passenger seat, feel free to use the opportunity to get some rolling shots of...
Tripod isn't in it.
Shadow is ;)
I did try but it didn't go well so I gave up, its fair to say I didn't spend long on these! Was just a little something. I get sick of looking at PS from work! Haha
Wouldnt say its "far too heavy" its more to do with the gaussion blur is crude. I should've used more layers and I didnt :(
If id stacked the background correctly it would've looked a lot better.
May have another attempt at some point :)
