Washed it, tried out one of those new fangled clay mitts, Carlack paint cleanse, polished with old skool SRP and topped off with Sonax LTP, car looks great but I have claw hands now  :grin:

I have the Farecla G3 clay mitt from halfords, great bit of kit and soooo much quicker and easier than a clay bar, approved!  :happy2:

 got back from fishing at 4 .30 and decided to change my front discs and pads , not done this since i was a kid , passenger side bit more fiddly has wear indicator on and you need to be left handed to get at caliper bolts has they where bloody tight , drivers side a breeze, all done in an hour , quite pleased with myself  :congrats: :congrats:

cleaned the tail pipes. They're shinier rather than shiny...

Maybe i'll put some more work into them later this week, the weather was too good to be wasted fettling the car so i went out on my (push) bike  :party:

Today I ordered some dubmeister plates and I'm currently looking for some plain holders that look decent quality!
