Pretty much the same process as usual was followed here, we polished with FF instead of SIP though, as the car was not bad to start with.

some befores, car was very dirty to start with:

Superb work fellas on a lovely car.

How do you allocate the different tasks on a car? Noticed that Megesh got the raw deal again by scrubbing mags and buffing while Don takes pics.

Hey Guys,

we kinda know what job gets done by who but sometimes we swap or someone just covers if the other is still busy...

Don is always taking pics, cause uhm he the only one that brings a camera... and uhm i suck at taking photos! He actually getting quite good at it!!

I really dont think a write on the Sonax Extreme wheel cleaner is neccessary! There as been numerous post about the product and all i can add to it is that it does what it says!!! its cleans EXTREMELY well!!! wish we had a bit more because the rims on the Polo had alot of tar on it that required alot of cleaning!

All in all Carn can supply you guys with a great product that does what it says it can! Just remember that it does and an odour to it, and it aint strawberry!

Nice job guys. Haha, Megesh, see you also have those dreaded spots left on your arm while using the Megs wheel brush. Geeze, I get covered. As a matter of fact, I have one t-shirt that I use when washing. It looks polkadot.

Um, what you guys use for LSP?
