Trophy v Dodo Juice Orange Crush

[7MAT]

Following on from last weeks post (see link below), I got the chance to add a second layer of Dodo Juice Orange Crush soft wax today.

First I washed the car using Hyper Wash and dried with one of the new Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towels, decided to get these into stock because of all the positive reviews. Got to say the Sonus drying towels are excellent, very simular to the Tropi-care Waffle Weaves.

To aid drying I used some #6S Spray and Shine QD spray. Once dry I started on the second layer, treated black plastic trim to AG Bumper Care, tyres dressed and exhaust polished with Final Shine.

I really like Orange Crush, works beautifully with Capsicum Red IMHO. Smells fabulous, goes on and buff off very easily.

Here are some pictures, not the greatest shots as very over cast here today in Croydon.

Looks good mate

Can i just ask where abouts in surrey you are?
I keep seeing a Red 182 going to and from work. but im either flying passed as its waiting to pull out or it pulls down side road so ive never had a good enough look at it to see if its a trophy or not.
Just thought it may be you.

I live in Croydon - works based in Lingfield. I normally travel from Croydon to Lingfield via Warlingham & Limpsfield.

Top car that...nice! Is that a genuine plate on it too Matt? Must have cost a bit if so?

 

[Pint]

Nope, not you then. Will try and get a better look next time i see them.

Once again, great looking car mate

Cheers, yes the plate is real. I purchased it 18 years ago at a DVLC auction with the intention of one day putting it on a Caterham 7. At the time is was a lot of money but by todays standards not really.

Typically 10 mins after posting the sun came out, so I took a few more pics - enjoy.

Is that a different exhaust mate?

 

[DebV6]

Looks gorgeous!!

 

[d4ve86]

looks great mat! I hope to detail my 182 soon with the polisher, might get a few more bits from your first though!

 

[7MAT]

Looks great Mat. :approve:

Would you recomend the orange crush for the Trophy?

Yes I would, Banana Armour also works great on our cars if you prefer a hard wax.

 

[7MAT]

Is that a different exhaust mate?

Yep, it's a Janspeed backbox.

Last week I spend the best part of two days polishing, but today only took a few hours.

^Commitment!

I might have to invest in some of this orange crush.

Sure it would be worth a packet now, the amount CSs are selling for these day probably worth more than the car lol!

Only criticism - you are another person to go for this towing eye malarky...whats that all about?!

I'll think you'll find I was one of the first. :rasp:

The pipes look realy nice. I'm after a new cat back system and was thinking of a miltek, but your's has just upset my decison.

I will let you off then, and only if you take it on the track!

When I first saw a Trophy I thought "red is only for Ferarris" but have to say I'm really liking them these days.

Yet to drive one though, interested to see if they are the weapon of choice still in the Renault Sport range!
