Some of you may of noticed my car didn't look too clean at last sunday's meet. So today seeing as the weather was good for a good clean, i decided i'll give it the full works. :) Heres the results:

Very very nice

I agree black is best (when cleaned) but sadly as i'm not an often car cleaner i'm going to order a sea grey fiesta.

Black cars tend to look dirty very quickly which is such a shame..

Looks good Mark. You know Vision is best though, hides a multitude of sins...

Very nice Mark

Always like the depth of shine you get out a black car.

Unfortuantly, mine wont be seeing a shine like that until this weather actually rises above 0 at nights :lol:

Looks fantastic in black. I was starting to worry that maybe I should have gone for a white, but you've just confirmed to me that black is definitely better!

It does look good - as well maintained black always does. :)

Can you tell us what you did Mark?

White's still best though, doesn't eggshell for a start like picture 3 :P <runs away>

eggshell/orange peel - whatever you want to call it. I'm jesting - I love the look of the car and it's great work.

Ah, I'm with you. Fabio has a bit of cellulite too :(

Machine polishing can get rid of it in some cases, but it's a bit overkill on some paint - especially if it's not all that thick to start with. Best to wait until the car really needs it - you can only really tell up very close or on photos. Walking by, you'd never really notice.

That said, I had a black ST170. I will never, ever have a black car again. Ever. Looked stunning, but far too much hard work to keep clean and by far one of the easiest colours to see swirling and imperfections.

I agree black is the best colour ... Although the one thing I don't like about it is black cars show up dust really badly.

I used to have a black Mk3 Vauxhall Astra, and to go to college I always drive through Cardiff docks. Thus the car was always be covered in a greyish dust.

Stupidly the one time it was so bad I took it to a jet wash in the night to clean it up a bit... Only in the morning when I could see the car properly it looked like a fat zebra. :lol:
