Mammoth machine polishing and waxing session on Dibble!

[Chickenjohn]

Some bits could be better (couldn't they allways?) but generally I am quite pleased with the results of a days machine polishing with G3, followed by Autoglym paint renovator applied by hand, followed by Farecla hand glaze (applied by hand), then finally a good coat of Blitz pure carnauba wax and a good buffing.

as good as the car looks im afraid we cant really see the result of all the hard work you have put into polishing it, photos dont really do the subject much justice.

looks in very good condition though do you show them ?

That is the trouble with white- no/few reflections! The paint on my black Morris Traveller is no where near as smooth and well polished and waxed as the convertible but just because the paint is black it looks far shinier in the photo's. I will take more pics when the sun is out (if we ever see it again!).

I believe it has something to do with something called "summer".

The Moggie looks really nice. Have you done a resto?

Yes I have, keep meaning to update the thread I have in the "projects" section- see that for rust, rust and more rust and quite a bit of fabricated sections. The car has been on the road for a year now and drives very well- without me having to overhaul much by way of the mechanics-, which is nice considering the amount of rust I had to cut out and replace with new steel to get to the stage of shiny paint and chrome!

summer do we get one ? have we had one ? how will i know when its here or been and gone seems like we only have one season now well it did upto last winter we did have a winter

I agree, we do only get one season, thats why I'm a bit hazy on the whole "summer" thing!

I'm off to the projects forum to find the Moggie thread.

I don't know where you guys were but a couple of months back we had a few weeks of record-breaking blazing sunshine. No wonder the Ozzies call us 'whinging Poms'
