PS Waiting on pay day - going to try some Dodo Orange Crush on mine....

Got some on but with a blue tint to be darker - decided to try Orange this time.... brill stuff - Just rain and its clean.

Also - was given the tip apply by putting on your hand then the body work - heat activates it Smile

Nerrr I haven't updated mine for ages.

Couple of goodies arrived today ready for the winter protection!

Dodo Supernatural Acryclic Spritz Sealant - It's wax safe and water based so should be fine between wax layers or even on its own, couple of layers should last well over winter. As well as some Zaino Z16 tyre and trim, it's a far superior tyre black that doesn't 'attract' crap like my Meguiars, waterproof and anti static.

I know what you mean about the Megs tyre dressing Jimski , I prefer finishkare 108as which leaves a natural/satin look .

Well that was a fun day.... full wash ( snow Foam / hand ) then wax and EPG + bumper gel etc etc.... looks brill in the sun.

Loads left as I did it by hand although next time round I won't be using the EPG....

Jimski - Purple Haze seems to get a good rep' - What I do is get trials from http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/ ( use DW in the voucher section ) - great way of trying new stuff.

Looked even better when the sun was going down - and in the dark with just a little street light indescribable.

To sum up - Dodo good / Arm knackered / Skin V Soft lol

PS Above photo really doesnt do it any justice.... Terran

Nice work , doesn't the orange crush smell divine Bow down . I'm hoping to get the wife's FL2 machine polished tomorrow , I've thoroughly decontaminated the paintwork with IronX and some VP citrus tar & glue remover and then clayed using some Megs clay . It's certainly looking better already , I just hope the rotary holds out as it has been playing up . Pics to follow .
