    Car Detailing

    No good for Fatty but for the rest of us this is a good article.

    Came across it during my GTIIIIIIIIIIIIIII research.



    I'm going to spend a bit of time and money with the Avant over the next year to get that crown of Fatty next year.

      P.S. In case you hadn't noticed, I really rate the Megs stuff and *some* of the Autoglym kit is good too. Let me know if you want a list of the products I like

      Cheers,

                    They do some great products and very reasonable prices. XXX Hardcore wax is brilliant for 11.99 and also try the limited edition 50/50 wax more expensive but i have heard this is as good as the Zymol destiny which is 485 i think? Great bloke to

                      Thanks for reminding me. I have managed to mask most of them with some great products. Next year it will be better once I have bought my PC :mischeif:
