Very shiny

What products did you use?

Auto Glym Shampoo & Conditioner and High Gloss Polish. Never polished a car before

In fact, I'd never washed my previous car in 6 years of owning it!

hope you waxed it afterwards otherwise the paint work won't have any protection on it- super resin is a polish, not a wax.

Sorry, mistype in the reply, I waxed it not polished. In fact I didn't know you could polish a car as well

yeah, check out the meguiars 3 stage process. Lot of muscle needed to do it but the results speak for themselves.

Good joke that one. It's not been done before.

Well it was good when Gilly said it and it still holds good now.
I wouldn't moan as it bumps your thread so that others who haven't seen it can. If there is anone in the whole world that doesn't know you have an L200.
BTW it would impress me more if you used it for what it's meant. Rather than just polish it up like a toy and take continual pics of it.
Has it been off road. Have you actually put anything in the back.

Also are you a big Dukes of Hazzard fan or just a wanna be Yank.

Question:

IIRC you are some sort of lawyer/accountant/office job type person. Why did you feel the need to buy a pick up?

Another Question:

Have you used the back to transport anything yet? Or do you plan to?

Partially correct. And because I wanted one. Is that a problem?

Yes. And yes.

No I'm a Building Surveyor and I project manage developments.

Well you must be a pretty cheap one if you can only afford a 15k pick up.

Jesus christ mate i could walk up the garage now shove 200 quid deposit down and walk out with one. BIG ******* DEAL.

He's been a bit harsher than I would've been , but he's making a very valid point. 13 threads on the subject in just over 2 weeks. Its not that busy a forum, a simple bump would've done.

Fair enough if there have been THAT many threads, I haven't seen all of them. Should've be a bit more mature about it though rather than just resorting to personal attacks about his job and whatnot.

Like the look of the L200 but the mpg sucks...Nissan Navara is the pickup of choice at the moment is it not?.
