The blue one in the middle on the left looks like a great colour.

Used meglaures compound and a Orange hex pad .. should really wax it but spent all day with the DA so it will have to wait

Thanks Peter, what wax do you intend to use and will that be with DA or hand, I am early into my Elgrand detailing (or any detailing to be fair) but since getting the Elgrand I am getting the addiction

liam you will need poly bush grease for your bushes other grease will be ok for a while if you are desperate most motor factors will do a branded one

Thanks Bob. Bushes came with some.. maybe I not put enough on.

 

[Stubaby64]

Managed to get the wheels off!!!
Bus came with a scissor Jack with no handle! Not a problem I have trolley jack I thought to myself....... Removed wheel cover to discover.... 4 x 17mm nuts... 1 x 21mm nut odd shape... And a Locking Nut... But came supplied without locking nut key..... So after much persuasion with on old 3/4 air gun socket and Big hammer, managed to remove wheels.... Pleased to say wheels back on with new Nuts complete with locking nut key.... 2 hours of my life I won't get back...

Oil change. Overdue. Got to it and went smoothly as the 3.5 does now.
