1. I love this line "...so it looked half pie descent going down the road." I don't know what it means exactly, but I like it.

"Half pie decent" is Kiwi talk for "not bad looking" or "acceptable to be seen in or with" as this can be assigned to any number of "things, people, cars" blaa blaa blaa. When you go to the pub and see a not bad looking girl you "quietly" make the comment to you mate.... "gosh she's half pie decent" you don't let a Kiwi girl hear you.... they have VERY good right hooks.....

you get the picture

by the way the wife wrote this.......

This car sat under trees at a transport company where I work for 4 yrs .
The owner drove it to work and thats where it stayed ,left to rot away lol...
About a month ago my boss asked me if I could polish a car for him ,I said yeah shaw what have you got ,A Hilum Hunter, OMG you mean that car that was in the yard ???? YES....

He paid $500.00 and it is going to be his daughters 1st car. A cheap car to learn in ,so it did not matter if she put a ding in it here or there .
All he wanted was to put a bit of shine on it so it looked half pie descent going down the road.

With it sitting under the trees for so long the paint on the top side was pretty shot.I pointed this out to him and said I will see what I can do.The Car was already washed be for I got it.

Products used

M95 wool - Rotary
M83 Foam - Rotary
M80 Foam - DA
Carnauba wax
All Season Dressing - Tyres

Love the shine ...NOT...

Of all the cars that I have polished out .I have never meet someone that was so excited to see there car and the transformation .
