I spent the best part of £500 over a couple of months a year or two ago investing in some detailing gear; the Corsa you see was attacked with it all and was by far the best paintwork i'd ever seen when it was at it's best. You could truely seen the depth, the texture, the sparkle and the wetness of the paint all over the car. I did spend the best part of 24 hours cleaning it over a weekend though! As for teh Vectra, yes, it did turn out pretty good. But it's currently sat rotting in a scrap yard after someone piled into it outside my place

You can expect much the same with my newly purchased VX. I like a clean car.

[TheRealVXed]

We've had this thread before

Why does that matter?

[j0n]

Aaron D. I remember your car from the corsa-c|uk forum as I too used to have one.
