Fortunately she's  low mileage and black metallic.

A good wash and black turtle wax and that's as she came out.

Decal wise, that's how they arrived from Ebay Australia, they weren't handed as it turned out. Thats the Aussie's for you.

Hi Duggs,

Firstly, it's good to see another local Suffolk mig owner on here! Secondly, the car looks spot on,  and I shall be bringing mine round very soon for you to have a go at, cos I'll be buggered if I can get mine to shine like that!!

I don't suppose you recently bought the Vectra C rims from a guy in Felixstowe called Stewie did ya?

[duggs]

No I didn't Twiglet. Got them via ebay over last Xmas, £160.00.

It appears that black metallic looks good very quickly with a wash and wax...BUT on the flipside, they look dirty much quicker than most also.

Totally agree mate.  Mine seems to get dirty just sitting on the driveway from dust in the air!  Still recon it's the best colour for a mig though!

You could try my methord of washing mate but it will take you a bit of time but its worth it in the long run.  I pre wash it first with snow foam and then rinse, Then wash with two bucket methord with grit guards in the buckets,  Then bead with the hoes,  Then dry with drying towl and get it as dry as you can i also use my airline to blow out from trim and lights etc you could use a leef blower,  Then clay with detailer,  Then wash over again and dry,  Then poilsh, Then finish off with a realy good wax and your done. But on the plus side the next time you wash it and dry it with a drying towel and a detailer as a drying aid it will come as though you have just done the hole thing again and looks fantastic.  I try to do this just before winter so its protceted from the all the snow and crap and then again just as the summer starts so looks great in the sunlight.
