I was all set to put a massive order in with CYC for a revised G220, and a shed load of other stuff, but due to the delay in them coming in to stock and the absolutely ****e weather we've had i've lost the wind from my sails for the time being!

Got to say I'm the same - washed it last Sunday but it really needs a lot more but the weather is so unpredictable that I can't work up the enthusiasm to make a start.
Sorry, I know that won't inspire you, but at least you know you're not alone. |

It gets to me sometimes when I have spent a good day or 2 with the pc and then you walk past a car that has just had one quick coat of SRP (not slagging it V good stuff) and from 5ft away it looks as good as the one you have just slaved over

Today was the first full sunny day in ages to i dragged myself out of bed and gave the car a good going over.
After finishing I stepped back and look at the results, seeing the finish brought back the love for detailing. Yes the car still isn't perfect but after a top-up of wax and the trim and tyres dressed it'll keep me happy for now. |
