Well. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves. 4 (probably 5) days of hard work. Gotta say, I'm chuffed. It's not perfect but I wasnt chasing perfection.
I used some meguiars glass cleaner and then sealant so I'll see how that goes. Gtechniq C2V3 applied all over Harly Wax. Its come up...
Not shifting it as its underneath the wax. Kinda kicking myself that I didnt go over it with some water mark remover before waxing. Oh well! You live and learn. Pics below 😈
Yeah I've got meguiars ultimate polish but tbh I dont think it's necessary. I'm using quite light pads anyway and it doesnt appear to be too hazy. If this lockdown continues for ages, I'll strip it back and polish it but for now, I'm done 😂
I've tried the meguiars one. Smells really nice but again doesnt last. Think I got 2 weeks out of it and it was gone. Also not exactly cheap at 14 quid or so
Just finished cutting the whole car. Very pleased with the outcome. Not perfection but it's a huge improvement. Looks a bit dusty etc. Wash, dry and then wax?
When I got my car home for the first time a few weeks back I took a quick check underneath. Thought it might have lived on a farm in a previous life as there was loads of mud underneath. This absolute chunk just fell onto my feed while machine polishing. Must have been in the arch liner...
Those are clean as a whistle! I've found some Mickey mouse ones on ebay (the goofy ones are all out of stock) so I'll see how I go. Tempted to polish mine up and if I dont like them, repaint them. Cheers for the suggestion. This is fast turning into a bmw page 😂
Oh. Well ours are very similarly aged then! Mines July reg I think!
Well theres your problem then Mark! I've known people to wipe them after every single drive. Bit much for me but each to their own. As you say, C'est la vie!
That backbox butchery sounds pretty awful. If it makes you feel any...
Think your car is newer than mine too? That makes me feel better!
I've looked into replacement ones but for less money I could get someone to respray them and then ceramic coat them. Such a design flaw but no cars perfect I suppose!
It's called Essence. Not sure what colour it's for.
Sterling looks good but I'm afraid that if I start using it I'll eat it. It smells utterly delicious
