Wow puts mine to shame. Never knew the silver could shine like that.A few hours washing and polishing mine I think, if it stops raining. By the way been using Grease lightning showroom polish, has anyone else been using it. I've got no access to water at the garage.

looking good! what polish did you use?

Used Turtle Wax.
A brand I have used for many years now. Tried others but seem to always come back to it. :mrgreen:
