Well, what a day yesterday!
I spent 6 hours on her yesterday ( took some pics as well - unfortunately I dont think they do her justice )
I gave her a really good wash to start with, then dried her off.
Out came the Mer.........Every panel got a good going over then buffed to a high shine, windows cleaned inside n out. The interior is always pretty immaculate anyways, but it got done too. The dash, door interiors were all done with back to black and the leather was treated too
The tailpipes were cleaned then shined with Mer too.....real Bling bling!
Finished off with wet n black on the tyres..........Beautiful n shiny and the paintwork?.....Like Glass!!!

I use Mothers chrome polish. Works pretty good! Who knows what Jimbo uses? Probably some formula specially formulated for the Queen of England!

I used Duraglit / Brasso initially to clean them right up to like new again. To finish off I used ( pretty sure its an American product )
Mer.....Puts an amazin shine on them too

Yeah I tried this stuff I used to clean my chrome rims on occasion and it didn't work at all...kind of thinking I'll need to use a buffer like the guy that painted my bike used on my rockets exhaust...the pipe looked like poop and he hit it with the same buffer pad he was using to buff my paint (pretty sure it had like diamonds in the gel to make the shine on the glass look like new) and hit my pipe and ended up blinging the thing to death!

The lip spoilers are generally pretty cheap there one...you could pick one up for a little over 200 bucks...finding a white one though is a different story!

Here's one on ebay but I've seen them cheaper...jaguarxp has them but I can't remember how much???
