Had my first attempt at blu-tacking my car this evening, very impressive results, works really well on the stainless trims on the wheels and makes the paint look awesome, I got 4 bars of blu-tack but will only use 1 this time I think. All part of getting it prepped for CXM. ;)

^ I'm just working out how I can drive two at once. Do you think I can get a discount on the ferry cost?

Dean, what have you got there then? - is that a blue car cover into which you cut holes for your respay efforts? Interesting, it will eliminate spray mist on adjacent panels.

Yes It's one of the dust sheets we use at work, they are the best sheets I've seen, they are very soft and waterproof.
I order them in bulk from a company called wipersupplies.

If you sat drinking beer you'd be told off for not doing the plastering/decorating, etc. Keep out of the way and actually get on with something and you get told off...

Aye, there is no winning.

:lol:

Oi.. Why weren't you at the chevrons? Was looking forward to seeing the XM. But I see perfection gets in the way!
Must do those caps on mine. My previous efforts have been ruined by crap lacquer. Not buying that brand again.
