Hi mate,

Well actually, I did both those items myself!

I used the old favourite, BRASSO!!!

Took me about 1.30 a wheel... but very enjoyable time spent! It will need constant upkeep however, but worth it!

I agree Rich, it is the mutts...but why wait until you sell, get it done now and the enjoy the shine.....?

Exactly!

It's going to stay looking like this for years I hope, with sensible attention of course!

Thanks for the compliments guys. :>)

The whole car looks the business imo, it’s got to be one of the nicest 4/4’s we’ve seen on TM

It does look mighty fine

Top looking Mog!

but then any Morgan would, parked in the Living Room innocent

on a side note, I always think if i were selling Morgans I would do what Lifes Motors do and always photograph them inside and certainly not outside in daylight like many of the dealers

the light from incandescent spotlights, halogen, sodium or metal halide lights or warm light fluorescents, bounces around so much and makes a mog look super shiny and mega when it the car is super, super shiny camera

daylight which is polarized just takes the shine off and makes a Mog look dull in comparison

Crikey.... you're all making me feel very inadequate. I'm sitting gazing numbly at my two car care bottles....Muc off and Demon Shine.

This site covers a HUGE range of car detailing info and includes demo videos etc.
www.detailingworld.co.uk
Also look at youtube for videos.
A good tip is do what Idid by practising on a fridge and scrap panels. Go to a bodyshop and ask for ones they have taken off cars.
Once you gain confidence it gives great satisfaction.
Remember though that there is no need to go full detailing too frequently.

Car cleaning and detailing is now a science with a vast array of products available. If you're a perfectionist by nature then you probably going to want to get the car as near perfect as you can, however there are many who simply wouldn't see the need or even see the minor imperfections.

I think there's a balance between the cost of professional detailing and the need and how much of a perfectionist you are. Meanwhile Ill just keep polishing by hand!
