thought id get a few pics of my efforts at polishing and waxing the hybid today, tried the meguiars 3 stage deep crystal stuff and gave good results imo. was very shocked at how much shit came off when i used the 1st paint cleaner even tho it had just been washed and looked clean to my eyes, made the paint smooth as glass after very good stuff.

thanks peeps :D

not had the wheels refurbed apart from the driver side rear which needed it, just wash them every week then give em a polish every now and then.

use both autoglym and meguiars but see the above lot the other day and thought id give it a try, happy with it. comes off around the same as autoglym imo, just wish i had a pc to do the job a bit quicker and also cause less stress to the arms :roll:

no rust at all, bonnet needs to be sprayed tho as if you look closely at 2nd picture you can see the paint has losts its shine on the corner of the bonnet ( look at the reflection of the tree to see what i mean ) also got a little dent in the rear wing but i plan to get the whole car resprayed later in the year so im not to bothered about it

looking at paying around £1000-£1200 for a good respray, will find out closer the time...

not got the wide track fitted yet, cars going to hillpower on 13th may to have widetrack, coilovers, new wishbones, supersprint manifold , modded fuelpump and a remap. will be picking it up the day before fcs ready for some track action :D can anyone confirm the 29th ( monday ) is a bank holiday??

and thanks again for comments :D
