Default 1st attempt washing the new motor...

Seeing as it was a nice sunny day and having a 2nd day off I thought I'd test my skills at washing a black car lol.

Came out pretty well seeing as I only used the 1 bucket method (sure I'll get some abuse for that)

Please excuse the phone pics...

Not too shabby! I thoroughly reccomend Poorboys Black hole glaze to get rid of light marring on dark cars.

Cheers guys, drivers side sideskirt is quite badly scratched where I think people didn't know how to pick their feet up when getting in and out of it over the past years and the front end is showing its age but still quite happy with the result.

Could anyone suggest a decent body shop who actually know how to spray properly? Seem to be a lot out there that are utter sh!te.
