1st Time PC User

[k80]

Hello.

I recently imported a PC into the UK so I thought I would share some of the pictures I took of my first experience using the PC. I must say I am really impressed with the PC. Theres still plenty of room for improvement on my car but that will come with more experience and time.

This is the process I used:

Washed with Sonax Gloss Shampoo
Clayed with Autopia Yellow clay bar
Applied Megs #83 DACP with cutting pad @ #5
Applied Megs #82 Swirl Free polish with polishing pad @ #5
Applied Megs NXT Tech Wax with polishing pad @ #4
Applied Megs GC Trim Detailer to all plastic
Applied Megs Endurnace to tyres
Appled AG Glass cleaner to glass

Anyway on with the pics

Before Washing, 4 weeks worth of brake dust on the wheels, yuck!

The PC took a bit of getting used to but I was soon in the swing of things. Once I return from my Holiday I am going to go over the car again with DACP(polishing Pad) Swirl Free Polish (polishing Pad) and 2 layers of NXT(polishing Pad).

Comments opinions welcome.

Anyone else not seeing the pix or is it just me?

[GearHead_1]

You're not the only one.

[k80]

I dont now what I could have done wrong. I can see the pictures from both my desktop PC and laptop. I posted the same post on another forum and that works. I hosted the pictures on imagestation.com should that be ok here?

[jchetty]

i had the same problem when i tried to host pics on imagestation. someone here told me about photobucket image hosting ----click here (http://www.photobucket.com/)

[Quack]

yep, the prob is with Imagestation.

for those who want to see the pic, right click on the X, select properties, highlight the URL of the photo, copy, then paste in your address bar.

[Mike Phillips]

I checked out the url addresses for all of the pictures and everything is correct, if you snag the url address and copy and paste it into the address space in your web browser it takes you to the picture.

So the problem must be with the picture hosting company.
