    That will only work well if there's a fresh-enough layer of normal wax on it already.

    Which there isn't.

    Ach, I need a good weekend attacking her to do some swirl work.

    Worse come to worse, there's a barn shed I can use the day before the wedding if need be. Would rather be doing a touch up that day though.

    You were pulling out of a driveway behind me as I passed in my black Octavia. Just after the golf course on the way into town from the Jockey. I knew you were from Thurles from previous posts on here but never spotted you before. From outside Cashel myself.

    Find it hard to believe that Vectra was a Garda car. There are many stations around the country now without a car so I can't see why they would be getting rid of them.

    Don't know to be honest, I was stopped at traffic lights and it was coming against me, 'twas as it passed I noticed the colour (was at night), your sticker is still in the back windscreen anyway :)

    I doubt there are too many stations out there without some sort of Garda Vehicle on site somehow...:)

    Also spent some of this evening doing that whole ''paint correction'' thingy on the 159. I only got half the bootlid done as I'm very slow and cautious but I think it turned out quite well in my uneducated (at car-detailing) opinion.

    I'll try get some pics tomorrow if this rain would shag off for a few hours.

    Well 45k miles now is fairly cheeky then....
    Surely whoever drives that could tell more than 45k on her by how it drives, wear and tear etc...?

    It was a mistype in the last ad. It should have said 28,700 km :rolleyes: :pac:

    At least this time the interior is in a much cleaner, more saleable state than last time.

    I'd say there's a chance that the crowd who have it in stock may well not know it's clocked.
