Washed and meguiar'er up..with pics,56k no no

Well my nova was coverd in dust,and very dirty
so thought i should try the meguiars i've been buying...(65notes worth)
cleaner her all then used there 3stage stuff,
the stuff works great,go's on great and comes off so easy,leaving no power like the autoglum does (which is why i dont use it anymore)
so i did the whole car in all 3stages,in bumpers and trim,
and the wax comes off so easy of the rubbers its great,
so i thought i should take a few pics to show you all,








slammed on her bottom...

Nice pics, not keen on the "put the camera on the floor" personally!

Car looks stunning - would have been nice to see from some other angles other than just front drivers.

Sunken side repeaters are trick!

I normally don't like Novas, but I must say that looks the business mate... good job

I specially love how shiny the bumpers look.
I've got the bog standard ones on mine... can anyone reccommend something thats good for shining them up ? Theyre a bit of a dull grey these days.
