Polishing Commences

The Dodo Juice orbital polisher I bought turned up today so I cracked out the Megs polish and pads that came from Clean your Car last week and got to work. Not finished yet, but I think it will look a bit better once done

MOT was fine, took the car in hot and it was very quiet first thing in the morning. Paddy who runs the local garage and test station has a lot of Irish pals who drop in - one brought their Irish registered Ford F350 Super Duty in for testing - those are flipping enormous pickups....

Peugeot 106 Rallye S2 8v Update

Well my son was keen to help today so we headed out this afternoon to the garage. I had polished the bumper up in the week and fitted it on. I'll give it another polish when my new orbital polisher turns up. With that done, drove the car outside and took both front wheels off... Continue Reading →
