Had a tall fail a couple weeks ago. Changing a light fitting at work, it was a real old heavy light we took down, walking to put it in there spare room, didn't notice the small doorway into it.

Smacked the top of my head on the door frame, then falling forward headbutted the light fitting. Ended up on the floor disorientated, our apprentice fell off his steps as he was laughing so hard.

Ouch :oops:

That made me laugh just reading it Chris :lol: I dont think there is anything funnier than someone banging their head.
It happens to all of us though unfortunately, that's one of the ultimate negatives about being tall because it probably happens more often.

That looks AMAZING Chris, top marks mate :D
How long did it take you roughly to go through all the stages?

I'm hoping to do something similar to mine next week for the "for sale" pictures but I doubt its going to look anywhere near as good as yours does.

How do you rate the Autoglym wax?

Thanks Ben. Needs machine polishing to really make it perfect.

Started at 9 and finished about 12:30. The car was pretty clean before so didn't really need any major correction.

Yeah I love it dude. Perfect summer wax. Doesn't last as long as collinite but I think gives a better finish. Still plan to use colly through the winter months. Plus AG HD is pretty cheap off eBay. £25 with 2 applicators and a finishing cloth.

lhkgjfdxhkvlyftcbgcklv.b/jh. Sorry just had to wipe the man juice from my keyboard :wink:

Looks absolutely amazing mate. Iv only been putting 1 coat of HD wax on. Do you recon 2 makes much of a difference?
