Lovely job there, is that polished by hand or using one of those buffer machines?

djm1964 · « **Reply #5 on:** 25 July 2009, 22:49:00 »

All my hand Lee took 5 hours , still got me out of the house of irate wife and arguing kids

So time well spent I thought. Definately going to start on the insude weather permitting tommorrow , unless of course the kids want to go to Cambridge shopping

I must say, that is a beautiful car. I thought I wasn't keen on light colour Omega's...but yours has changed my mind. I think the light gold looks very good, that Omega is certainly a credit to you.

thank you all for your kind comments , there is still some way to go with the mig including a trip to the bodyshop for some re painting , only small but needs doing. Also would like to get the alloys refurbished , but like everything it all costs money , so it's going to take a while . I am very pleased with it especially after the trip to WIM yesterday , they have set the car up like new , she is a joy to drive .

Take care

Dave

That is an absolutely beautiful looking car it is a real credit to you.

What polish did you use? it surely can't be ordinary polish

I used auto glym shampoo for the wash , then auto glym deep finish polish , hard work but I am more than happy with the results , hope that helps

You've obviously had a busy day! You could now buy some of the later indicator side repeater lenses in clear! They're inexoensive from Vx!

scottyt · « **Reply #24 on:** 28 July 2009, 20:18:15 »

wow its gleamin well done mate and its a really nice colour where are you getting it painted because it dont look like it needs done
tip attack the badges with a paint brush to remove the polish from them sounds like im being a bit anal but thats the valeter in me

djm1964 · « **Reply #25 on:** 28 July 2009, 21:47:28 »

the front bumper has a large "graze" on it and one of the front arches has some small spots that need doing and one very small one on one of the back doors , I will get the paint brush out on the badges hopefully soon , just very busy at the moment thankfully with work.

Take care

Dave

ive uesd companys like chipsaway etc they could probaly do it at ure home could save you a big bodyshop bill and the hassle of not having a car for a couple of days thats if the guy van do the work but it would be worth looking into it

Splendid, looks really nice and is a credit to you.

got a busy weekend this week so sadly wont be able to get on with much , work has gone through the roof which is really good for me , but my time is very limited to working on the car. Had to buy a differnt crook lock today as my other one wouldn't fit over the bigger airbag , I tried it but it just marked the steering wheel !

Take care

Dave
