How To: Make stuff go shiny

hi all. heres a quick turotial on how to make stuff on your car nice and shiny with little expense and/or effort

Step 1: Go down to your local primary school and ask for a few Glu Sticks. Be sure not to get Blu Sticks as they leave a bluish finish to the product which isnt desirable at all.



Step 2: Go to any reputable dealer and pick yourself up some Al-Foil. this stuff is great for wrapping up fish before they go in the oven, school lunches and modding your car!




heres the tricky bit.

Step 3: apply the contents of your Glu Stick onto the panel or part in question then carefully apply the Al-Foil in even ammounts as to not create a r uneven finish.

And there you have it!!! This method is great for all parts of your car. interior bits like gearknobs and seats as well as exterior panels.

heres something i whipped up this arvo

Would heavy duty alfoil work on your tyres?
cause they keep getting dirty...

Would be good way to spruse up the number plate.
(possible minor legalality issues if you get a really picky cop)
