Hi All -

I thought I'd take a few pics of my baby this weekend after a back-breaking 7 hour detail..... The hard work was worth it....

Looks very good, and very wet...

I was going to upload one of the pictures into your gallery and then repost it here but the right click option wasn't available.

Looks good just the same!

Very nice! What products did you use?

BTW, what engine/transmission combo is in that car?

Well the car is only 8 weeks old, and only 12 weeks since built - so it didn't need a lot of work.

I've been washing it weekly with GC wash, but this particular weekend I went the full monty and polished it with good old Crystal Polish and then topped it off with Gold Class wax.

It dropped at least a shade or two in colour, and all the small blemishes in the paint vanished... It looks a million bucks now.

It's a Holden Commodore - Australian built "family car", but it's the specced up "sports model".

It has your LS1 Engine (5.7ltr v8) and a 4 speed auto trans. Goes pretty well, I must say!

I'd like to know a little more about your pics. They are very nice. I love the layout with the black edge. I would love to do something like that with my car for my office. Very, very nice.

Nice work !, I have never heard of the Holden and never would have thought they made cars downunder, I bet if they exported it here to North America it would be a big success ....hmmmm business oportunity !!!
