The Vics looks ace on Blues - for the money it replaced P21s/R222 as my fave under 40 quid wax, nothing else in that price bracket comes close. Vics Concours on Dark Blue after polishing with Menzerna by PC.

Monaco Blue, working By hand ? Wash - Duragloss 091 Polish - Autoglym Super Resin Seal - Werkstatt Acyrlic Jet Trigger Wax - P21s if you want to use it up, if you where buying waxes to replace it Victoria Concours or Swissvax Onyx depending on Budget. For Best results a good machine polish...

Some Chips Away type outfits do it - I had one of the 182 wheels fixed but that was done in Swindon.

Amazing annotations Dave x

A notch above Gold Glass for sure - used to struggle to get much more than a month out of it here but that was on top of oily Glazes.

P21s looks great on Blues, would not say I rate it's durability is one of the least well performers in that respect - 30 days tops. As long as you don't mind applying it once a month stick with it, I would probably use some Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection under it.

I am getting a quote of these guys next week when I am back off holiday http://www.reinventingthewheel.co.uk/alloy_wheel_repairs/tewkesbury.html

Stiff you say ?

Sealants tend to give a clearer wet look with less chance of muting any metallic flakes. Waxes tend to give a deeper richer look. On darker colours I much prefer a wax and have yet to find a sealant that has not made me want to top it with a wax. I have not got round to trying my Zaino on the...

Nooo Dave - Glad your both ok mate . Ouch they really are made of tin foil makes them quicker than all these 1*2's though.

Same as the lazy f*****s could not be bothered to swap the wipers either for the RHD market.

We are in a credit crunch and I don't earn the average CS wage !!!!

A sealant won't actually strip wax it just won't bond so it makes it a waste of time and product trying to make it take to a surface with wax already on it. Just add further wax layers.

I would clean the steering wheel back to it's original state with some Meguiars APC.

Good shout - I need some decent ones the 106 lights are like candles after the 182.

I love Black cars, don't miss the upkeep though!

Indeed - anyone remember the pics of a Black 182 on here after it was clayed !!!!!

Jealous as hell ! All the best for the weekend.

The SRP will take it off in one step why do both ?

Be aware after claying you car will look worse than when you started so prepare to get the polish out after before you re seal/wax.

SRP may clean it up ok, it is always my first product to try rather than crack out the heavy abrasives. If the SRP does not work I would probably try something like Meguiars Scratch or Intensive Polish (PO91L) by hand next.

Cheers Dan - I have purchased both and prefer the look that the Concours gives, for the money there is not another wax in that price bracket that comes close for me. Even the Onyx which is twice the price only looks marginally better.

I would give the 3M stuff a go but I have so much Menzerna to get through first !

Washing machines tend to kill them after a while, hand wash it and hang it out to air dry it will last longer.

Just hit it with some SRP looks like scuffs from a shoe to me. Should polish off easily.

I would get the Vics Concours rather than the Collectors is a nicer wax IMO.

My normal processes on Black Wash - Duragloss Shampoo Clay - Anything non agressive Machine Polish as needed with Menzerna Intensive Polish and/or Final Finish Prep paint for Sealant with Autoglym Super Resin Polish Seal with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection or Werkstatt Acylic Jett Trigger Wax...

It is the Cheltenham Koenigsegg dealership which happens to be next to a BP Garage.

If you buff it well after as your meant to the gloss will reduce a bit but still always remains to greasy for me after.

I believe you can but would dread to know the price - the Alcantara can easily be sorted with a pack of Bic razors.
