Please excuse the crap phone pics as I dont actually have a digital camera lol

Though someone kindly took a few pics for me so Ill put them up when I get them, as Ive never had the opportunity to put a full photodetail up before. The car was really swirly and there was no gloss to the paint. Finished with dodo juice light fantastic, my favourite wax at the moment (y)

Here are a few afters for now, had to powergloss quite a bit of it so that gives an indication of how bad it was lol

It came out really well, was really pleased with the change in colour with it especially. Pictures don't do it justice at all the gloss was just fantastic from it.

A wee shot of my car to show dodo juices awesomeness!!

Bit of a grey day by the looks of it, which can't have helped show up the after state.

I have to give a big thanks to Big Pete for doing such a great job on the DC5! (y) ;) I have been wanting to restore some much-needed life back into the Championship White paintwork for ages now and Pete seems to have done the trick. The car looked fantastic when I picked it up yesterday and it's just a pity that the drive home from Ballyclare and to work this morning has now left the car boggin' again! :mad:

I will be able to make a proper assessment this saturday after I wash it again and I'll take some decent photos if the weather's okay....

Trust me everyone, I saw this car in the flesh and the finish achieved was excellent, the pics dont do it any justice whatsoever. Top work as usual Pete. That pic of the astra looks great, I wonder where that was taken.....

Yeah i did a wee bit more on the 106 tonite, About 2.5-3 hours with a light cut pad and intensive on speed 4 - 5 on the top half of the rear quarter, have a wee bit more to do tomoro to finish that half. Does that sound o.k or too much?
