Cars Had its New Year Scrub! big pics warning lol

[makavelli]

Woke up this morning and the weather seemed perfect for giving the car a new years scrubbing because it hasnt been waxed since summer.
the clay bar took fooking ages because the car woz covered in little black specks of tar and basically the whole of the bodywork woz covered in cack and contaminents. The clay worked its magic tho and the paint is speck free and as smooth as glass, happy days!
Cleaning wise is washed with megs, clay barred and detailed, used super resin polish, sealed with autoglym polish seal and waxed with collinite!
hope the pics look ok as i was losing light by the time i had finished lol

Agreed, think it looks great and subtle. Where did you get the small plate made?

got it from fancyplates matey, i did the lettering and spacing according to the dvla requirements so even tho its cropped and smaller, it is all technically legal
you have to request the specific dimensions on the site in order to get different sized plates
