I know it isnt strictly a VR4 but didn't know where else to put this thread.

As my VR is playing up I thought id spend a little while sprucing the V6 up tonight.

Process was as follows.

Wash, with Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo.
Dry
(didnt have time for any polishing or paint correction she will get that later and boy does she need it /pan )
One coat of Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
Wiped down with Microfibre cloth.

Random reflection shots and pics follow :).



Made so much more worthwhile by the owner of a BMW 5 series 55 plate who couldnt keep his eyes off it at Tesco's when I was filling up :scholar:

Crying out for silver indicator bulbs IMO - thats my next payday treat!

Nice job, although it is in the best colour so deserves to be kept clean, unlike the dusty grey some people have their cars in, or is that supposed to be silver?

Not bad looking there Don! That's the only disadvantage of a silver car.... I could polish all day and night and not get the depth that you can with a dark car.... So much more to work with!:afro:

i think silver gives out a good deep shine...and sorry silvers the best colour, doesnt matter what you say, black shows up all the fine marks in the paint work...where as silver is so good, it doesnt. silver might get dirtier quickly, but black shows dust of aswell....and its not as good as silver
this is mine after a tiny bit of time spent on the paint work....still looks like this, and about 1200 miles since last wash and polish last week
