Default Proving the old adage wrong

Apparently you can polish a t**d...

Monty1 gave Greyscale her first polish and took out some of the worst scratches. an astounded at how well she cleaned up.

Even the mismatched paint on the bumper doesn't look so bad with a bit of polish




I know she is no where near yet the standard of many on here, but for her first polish I think she cleaned up ok- another few beers I owe Monty1

Looks nice that, I don't find X-Power Grey in any way 'disappointing' personally
