Ian Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Looks fantastic . Starting to prefer the Gunmetal to the Azure. Blade Silver hides dirt good aswell, Ive got a silver primera that hasnt been washed in months and looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwr Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Very shiney, Much better than my attempt, I went out at half time to give her a quick wash and hurried back to find the Toon Army had gone 2-1 down. Bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 much better but treat it to some nice Meguiars NXT wax rather than the speed wax. A longer lasting effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Looks fantastic . Starting to prefer the Gunmetal to the Azure. Blade Silver hides dirt good aswell, Ive got a silver primera that hasnt been washed in months and looks good The joys of the various colours. I love my black one when its clean but it looks a bit crappy once ditry (read most of the time now the winter months are starting) Silver does cover up the best. I sold my old blue 206. I cleaned it 100% before giving it to him and 1 month on bar the wheels it looked very clean yet mine looked a state and I had washed it 3 times since having it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
