Not bad for a 16 year old

So I decided to wax the car today, first time in 2 years. Very happy with the results.

The splitter needs took off and sanded down/resprayed now. Speed bumps...

Now for a question. A while ago on here there was a thread about this wax/paint chip resotorer where you had to send your paint code to a company in america and apparently it worked very well, does anyone remember what it was called?

Picture quality isn't doing your work any justice.

What's the car in the back, is it an old Volvo? Haven't seen one of those in ages!

Thats a Volvo 340, as loved by school teachers and save the whale green piece activists

Did anyone else think OP was 16 years old at first?

the front bumper has been poorly resprayed or colour matched, other than that, good finish

my grandad had a lorry crash into him in one of those volvos with my mum, grandma and brother in the car, any other car they'd have been toast, the volvo got repaired! it was 10 years old

Dude, you bought the wrong tyres.

I've owned the car for nearly 4 years and i still went out to check the bumper. Happy to say its just the pictures, i can see what you mean in them.

The volvo is a 1985 (same age as me), it's a character alright and great fun to be in.

The pictures are so hazy that all I see is a car from lots of funny angles. There is nothing there to indicate it's clean, let alone just received a full clean and wax.
(not knocking the car or the effort, but the pics don't look anything at all)

Yep, I thought it was going to be about Bieber getting a Lambo :mad:

Nice car anyway

You need to polish the exhaust tip

Nice looking car

Bit biased though as its exactly the same as the one I have sat untaxed since buying my new toy

Exact color and everything.. thought it was mine for a brief second

I really should attempt to sell it soon before the 10 months MOT runs out. Dam my lazy ass!!

I agree. Can we get some better quality air or move the mobile sun unit away abitta please?

cyborg · 23 Jul 2010 at 20:00

Took the pictures on my k800i, all i have at the minute

Sorry its not great quality, suppose I can just see how clean it is in them because i was taking them. What do you guys use to polish the exhaust tips?

Hmm first wax in 2 years, i have to help my day wash, polish/wax then buffering it till my arms fall off
