Nice car. Get yourself a drying towel for it, you don't want any water marks spoiling it

I agree - nasty nasty watermarks - they show particularly bad on black too. Buy yourself a chamoise leather (sp)

Aside of that nice looking car.

Yeah very nice, did you paint the front frill or use tape??

Yea got a chamois leather it was about to start raining though (big scary black clouds rolling in

) so I didn't bother.

@ Mouse: what drying towels would you recomend?

@ shantybeater: painted the red stripe on but thinking of changing it now just can't decide if I really want to

maguires microfibre drying towels are the business!
1000% better than a chamois and won't scratch your paintwork

I'd recommend the Eurow or Sonus drying towels. Whenever I used the Meguiars water magnet, I felt like I was inflicting swirls.

Also, on the plus-side, the Eurow and the Sonus towels are cheaper than the Meguiars drying towel.

The Eurow towel is available from http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk and the Sonus towel is available from http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk.

You know, I felt the same. I don't use it any more, not at all happy with the finish
