    An afternoon's work....

    Me and Lowe tried out a new polish I had the courtesy of testing on my vRS. I managed to get samples of Farecle polishing cloths (which I new were really good as I had used them before) and a bottle of there new polish 'Wax Top'. In my opinion it is as good, maybe even slighty better than NXT, and I think I would be safe to say, it is the easiest polish I have ever used.

    Only downer is I dont think it is available retail and I wouldnt have the foggiest on price. But I will be giving them a good recommendation.

    I took a couple of pics after to show you how shiny she is now . Oh and the dude in the reflection is Lowe not me

    And, excuse the drive, it's being done at the start of September.








    No Sensei, i'm not kicking the mats to waste time, they have parted and I don't want to injure myself!

    The beauty was, it didn't. It took about 1/2 hour.

    Absolutely amazing wax, really is no effort. I'm sure Doll won't mind me saying, but the Octavia wasn't really looked after that well before Doll had it. When he had it there was no wax on it at all. A couple of weeks back Doll polished it to cut it back a bit, then once we'd washed it we chucked this new wax on.

    Mine's getting the treatment next week

    I know reflections can effect what people look like...

    but doesn't Lowe have wide hips and short legs. I always presumed he was a bit taler than 3 feet, but I guess he spent a lot of time in a Clio
