Hey Goon, yeh mann a dam nicee car teh VX, mine was discounted from like $7800 down to $6800 cos he dented it while it was for sale, then i went over and bargained a further $600 off it to get it to $6200 cos of the couple scratches and stuff, panel, and the sideskirts... which may i say ddi not cost me anything just required a bit of manpower and a damp cloth :p
The km's are 185,000 so aren't really high for a commodore and also aint really low.
Hope this helped you out!

Well, i just used a fairly dry but still damp rag and scrubbed, it took me a bloody long time although really was worth it, and then once they had no more white on them
I used Armorall Protectant which really made it shine and brought out the black even more.
