I have never polished or waxed any car before, after having my 190 for a couple of years I finally did more than just wash the dirt off. I was only going to work on minor scratches but I read up on the forums and ended up spending all day on it! A lot of work but it was worth it, it's getting addictive.. Now I just need to fix those scratches, the cleaner it gets the more damage you notice! |

That looks ace mate. Well done. You have the same tyres as me! BF Goodrich G-force profilers... an excellent choice sir!

I've got BF Goodrich Profiler-G rubber on the back, the grip is quite immense and way beyond the previous Kumhos. Had a lot of compliments on those tyres, one from a seasoned Porsche mechanic. Got mine used (but virtually brand new) locally, god knows where I can get some more when they get low on tread...

I got mine locally from Hew Lewis Tyres, but they are a local outfit. A tyre specialist should be able to order them in for you. I paid a very reasonable £75 each.

I have the BF Goodrich on 3 of the wheels, but one cheap tyre from when I was skint and needed to pass the MOT, but that one is on the rear so I can wear it out quicker
