    The next iPad....

    This will be upgrade I'll be making. Glad to hear its worth it, the speed of the Retina just seems to frustrate me a little nowadays.

    If it's Milano Red it should have clearcoat. In which case the majority of the UV damage is under the clear. Only a respray will turn it from pink to red, but you may still be able to improve the finish.

    It's just the hatchback vortex IMO. Low pressure throws all sorts of s**t onto it. It's the same gasses ultimately, it's not a decat (which gives you soot spots) Btw, I used CQUK and reload 14 again today, no issues. It was flat white paint though.

    Why do some waxes cost so much.

    Why do some waxes cost so much.

    Because if you enjoy the results, and you can afford it? Why the hell not. It's a hobby. Personally, I just like nice things. If I buy into something, I try to get the best I can afford. I'm also quite eclectic.

    Why do some waxes cost so much.

    Anyway. Wax only adds ~5% to the finish. So it matters to few people

    Why do some waxes cost so much.

    Correct RE blue car but imagine a flat red, by warmth I mean it adds a certain warm glow to finish. Unfortunately I can only describe with words, I can't share my eyes. Tbh if you're happy with £30 wax, don't worry yourself with it. There are plenty of nice LSPs at that price! Contact angle-...
