There you go Rooster....and even one that shows the matching hair/car colour coordination

What a super shot Puff........Big M did a bit of tweaking like that on a Cerb shot and it became Rays favourite picture of our Cerb.

Glad you like it - these type shots are always hit and miss, 9 times out of 10 you just get a blurry mess (in fact I took nearly 30 panning shots like this on Sunday and this was the only usable <just> one)
Makes it look like your going at a fair lick down the Forresters drive though

I know, saw you taking pics as I parked up. Wanted to catch you to find out more about your wheel as they look fantastic but when I turned round you'd disappeared. I'll grab you at the next meet.
Love the colour of your Chim as well, very unusual and really stood out.

How did the Chim owners get their exhausts so shiney?

duraglit for silver and G10 compound, and LOTS of elbow grease!!

If you mean mine (darker one on left of pic) then its just a quick wipe with a sponge when cleaning.
Probably looks shiny as its in B&W, I can assure you it never looks that good up close.

Mine on the right - Autoglym metal polish, they are the easy bits to do, its the little metal window guides that are the b$$$ard!! trying not to get any residue on the door trim!

[rude girl]

Just while you're on the subject. Try Peek metal polish. It comes in a tube and is blooming brilliant, especially if your tubes haven't been polished for a while. They seem to need topping up less often too.

[mrmaggit]

Nah, you want that there metal polish what Mike from the Polishing Company sells. Dead easy to use, no elbow grease, great finish. If my Dad uses it on his model traction engine and likes it (and believe me, a more awkward, cussed sod you'll never meet), you can't go wrong.

I used the little tube of metal polish from Autoglym, and the finish is fantastic. However, even when they were shiney and lovely, the cloth turned jet black the instant I rubbed some more. Is this some weird chemical reaction or are they still carrying lots of hidden dirt? I tried a bit on the exhausts but soon got bored....
