Is it the stuff you add to water, or proper wax that makes your arms tired?

got a rear spoiler of RobG . Came while i was taking these photos. Just got to paint it and fit it. Little summer project for me Thumbs Up!

Wheels are Irmscher Sportstars.(Got them of Rob too)

8 x 18 front . 9 x 18 rears. Offset of ET30 so a perfect fit. Tyres are 265/35/18 and 245/40/18.
Couple of things i'm thinking of doing;

Chrome tail pipe?

Decide on what type of front grill to fit. Had an irmscher all black one but thought it made the front too dark. Maybe one with the chrome edge? need to see one on a dark coloured miggy 1st

I'd like to improve the look of the front bumper too. Maybe replace the slats at the bottom with black mesh? I dont really fancy the full irmscher kit, its a bit to much for me, to many speed humps round my way Embarrassed

. it would'nt last long.

Prodrive from an MV6

Maybe when ive got some more cash Rob Thumbs Up!

Yeah well it certainly looks good! I want the look just don't want tired arms! I'm still searching for my miracle wax that I can just put on and rinse! So is polymer was bad?

May 2011 at 22:08 Many years ago i used to work at Halfords so i tried them all. The best i can remember was one called "Clear Wax" not sure who made it, but it was very easy to use .Wipe on wipe off. great result and with no pigment in it, it never left any chalk marks on the black trim.
