My ZT pics, door now sorted
Had my driver's door repaired earlier in the week, after it had been damaged by a Tesco home delivery trolley falling against it (Tesco are paying the £400 repair cost). Lovely sunny day today, so I thought I'd take a few piccies.

Stunning mate. Stunning.
What brands of polish/wax and process do you use to get that result?

Oh, and the wheels make a HUGE difference to the overall look as well - I had them properly refurbished a few weeks ago.

I'm thinking of having my 11-spoke alloys 'properly refurbished' and to date the nearest place to me (http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/) has quoted £57 + VAT per wheel (plus £12 per wheel for removing and refitting the tyre, and balancing). They need the car for 3 days, or they can collect the (tyreless) wheels for free and bring them back .. but then you've still got the cost of refitting tyres and balancing. Did you pay something around that sort of figure and how long were you without your car? Rupert

Later I had them fitted on the car for £10 per wheel (existing tyres swapped onto the new wheels). I'd say that yours is still a very good price though... I shopped around, and most places wanted between £60-£80 +vat per wheel for only doing the face, not the whole thing. But Lepsons did the whole wheel. Oh, I also bought some new centre caps (£25) to finish the wheels off nicely
