Hello from Sunny South Africa

[broken1]

Hello,

I live in South Africa, and drive a sapphire black BMW 320d. I became interested in polishing and waxing my car - when I saw how badly not caring for the car was affecting the paint work! I sent my car to a friend found on the local forums, who detailed the car using Meguairs Products. Since then, I have bought myself a couple of products and plan to keep my car super shiney and clean!

I look forward to gaining knowledge on the forum!

Here is a virtually swirl free photo of my bonnet:


And a pic of my shiney car:
