Hi Guys, My name's Clive and I live in Worcestershire in the UK.
I drive a Mitsubishi Pajero which is in very good condition for year (98). I've always enjoyed keeping my cars looking better than average and would welcome any advice from the pro's out there. I believe the vehicle has a lacquered finish so any advice on prep and polishes would be helpful. Great site!!
