While it was taped up, I would have sprayed it Lago Grey ...................... Sorry

It's looking good, I'm not one to go further than a bucket of shampoo and a wax once a year but I would pay to have that done. It looks to have a bit of depth in the shine.

Me too !! I followed it all the way down thinking that you were going to have the car ' wrapped ' as in covered in a coloured wrap (See the fantastic u - tube video of some germans disguising their black FL2 in NATO olive ) so was left a little dissapointed .

I used Wolf Chemicals nano Body Wrap Liquid Sealent

I never said a film wrap, you just thought that  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Nice job what do you think of the body wrap ? Was it easy to apply/take off. From what toy said in one of the posts i take it you can let water on the body wrap for 24 hours is this correct ?

Application is best with a small square cut of a MF cloth not a sponge applicator as you'll get better result

it's really easy to apply, Literally rubbing a liquid over the paint and buff off 15 mins later, which does mean you can do plenty of panels, but I start buffing the front wing after 15 and it buffed of so easy I would have been on my last panel on that side in 5 mins which meant I would have taken it off too
early

From what I read you need really clean panels for nano tech sealents, so I don't think SRP and others with filler will do, I gave it a alcohol ipa wipe down, and I don't apply some panels in direct sun and not shade but it was later evening sun and the panels were cold still

If you have the time to clean it, it does give good results which shine very well compared to waxes

easy of use *** (due to extra cleaning)

Nick,
Well done Sir, should make washing a doddle for a while!!
Is it worth it? I think so, there is nothing wrong with looking after your car.

Took my FL2 to the pub last night; before i'd even ordered a drink a chap i know who owns a Landcruiser said to me 'You clayed your car?'.
I suppose mine being black is more noticable.
He went outside and spent the next 5 mins looking for swirls!

Just think how much you'd have to pay someone else to do it.
And you know your own paintwork; where to apply more pressure and so on.

Plus the satisfation of 'it's all my own work'.  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

No you won't:
1) Gets you out of the house away from the kids for a while
2) Sense of pride in the achievement
3) Fresh air and exercise

Nice job
