Well I've never really found silver (along with white) a particularly satisfying colour to detail. Excellent at hiding dirt not so satisfying at giving a shiny finish.

That is until the sun came out after I'd washed the E. Looks like last weeks hard work has paid off. Combination of DA, Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish, Britemax Extreme Elements and now two coats of Collinite 845. Very pleased with that. :thumb:

Wow...that panel gap where the front door meets the front wing!!
 
Can't say I've noticed anything out of the ordinary with the panels. Both sides are are the same although the angle in the first photo does make it look like a massive gap haha

Can't recall if the door want fully shut though
 
It doesn't look off in the other photos, must be the angle

Lovely job :thumb:
 
Looking good mate. That spoiler is cool by the way.

I cheated a bit with these pics but adding a slight effect really shows off the glossiness.

Collinite does indeed bead very nicely! Especially a fresh coat :)
