It's not a Clio, or even a Renault. But what it is, is another frech hot hatch from the early 90's all beeding up!

Amberlamps, how dirty was the car when the photo was taken? Just washed and beading or sitting for a few days with settled dust?

looking at that, I'd imagine there is a fine layer of dust/dirt settled on the paint.

I washed it on Sunday and it has been out and about since then. Was kinda disappointed when i seen it this morning :dead:.

This weekend our cars were covered in another fine layer of dust again. As soon as there's a substance to sit between your wax and the water the beading and sheeting will instantly be affected regardless of which wax or sealant. Give it a quick wash and see how it performs with clean paint. I'm sure it'll be back to what you'd expect

Exactly what I was going to post. SV normally is really tight.

Never thought of that tbh, that dust is a right pita! It'll have to wait for another wash though, well, till the weekend. I'll see what it looks like then.

Cheers.
 
Not a dig at any one but please post which product you've used if you're going to post a pic ?

There's some nice beading shots, some one might want to try your LSP products ?

Due to a recent incident where some prat has hit my rear bumper I will be ordering loads of correction stuff and give the car a full details with the DAS-6 to try and lift the scuffs out the bumper. Photos will follow! :)

Sent a sample of Obsession Wax | Bead Edition to sample and make a short video displaying it's water behavior. Please also bear in mind this was on a non-deconn'd 207, so I'm sure there would be an increase in structure with tar, fallout removal and claying process carried out.

Maybe worth a shot if some of you guys are planning on summer shows, not needing durability as by Jay's own admission this will last circa 2 weeks maximum with no polymers & all natural ingredients.


Best to full screen and up the resolution to 1080p ;)
