    As always Jay great detail and what a gorgeous vehicle :applause:

    Loved all the pictures keep the details coming :thumb:

    That metal polish you see Jay and a few other UK members use is supposed to be great stuff, I've read quite a bit on the product and the company and soon I'll have some to play with ;)
