Dome shine :)

#1

Post by Astro-Nutz »

Well folks it's that time of year again, lovely autumnal day so what else better to do then polish your dome :p ;) found this polish on telly a few years ago and im on my last dregs now so i will have to search for it again. Its been a great PDI polish to be fair, gives a great shine while removing grime with ease without taking any colour off paint work etc. Wipes off to a great shine with little effort, too. All thats left to do is give the obsy her yearly coat of Urban Grey wood stain.... a job for tomorrow now as the wine is flowing lol. Clear skies all (Y)

That's an awesome looking setup you have there! Nothing beats a little annual or semi-annual maintenance to keep gear looking and working properly.
