collinite 476S wax is awesome wax!!

Lasts for ages (important to me as im lazy)

what i've recently used is a sealant never used one before but its awesome, its Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection! and boy does it bead and last forever it seems!

maybe try some sealant (easy on and off)

then get some wet look wax, maybe some Colinite 915 or some Poorboys Natty Blue

I've heard good things about dodo juice but I've never bought any. Noticed they do a 30ml tub will that do one full car? It would be nice to try it without buying the big tub

poorboys natty blue wax is real good!!!

The hard wax is fantastic when using a micro pad a little goes a long long way, Ive baught several 30ml's and they last for ages I clean my car and wax it every week near enough and ive still got a pot that ive had for 7 months haha.

They do sample packs of hard wax 4 pots for £22, Well worth the purchase Tom you wont be dissapointed.

As well as the coverage and protection it offers its awesome to work with, slight damp or warm panels it buffs off a treat!

Tas - sorry to go off topic, but any ideas on your boot sticker?

I haven't got a clue dude. I know my mates White one was smaller. Just had a check the two I've got spare are the smaller size so don't know if Ben previously had bigger ones.

The one on toms car is slightly bigger. Dont think we do those unless we have some old stock left. I personally like the smaller ones, although mine is on the back window with a few other stickers now and not on the boot as i like the boot clean. The car is looking awesome though mate, big congrats. Loving the wheels too, im looking for new wheels although im thinking if i got LM's you may go mental and sell yours lol :)

Just received some collinite 476 from Gareth so gonna try this at the weekend

I keep thinking about getting my centres fully polished opinions anyone?

Car looks clean as always Tas.

I'm personally not keen on polished LM centres. I feel that somehow it takes something away from the classic look of the wheel - plus they'd be a real pain to keep clean. I'm know that you're a bit OCD, but these would suck hours from your life!

What about going darker? - like the colour of your spiders for the centres. I think that would look B)

something like:

Loving the new pics. Will be good to hear how you get on with the Collinite.

I preferred your Spiders at the beginning but these alloys have certainly grown on me.

J

Leave the wheels alone :p look awesome as they are B)

If you are going to spend anything, then spend it on the door handles :thumbup:

Were those pictures taken in giltbrook mate??

No mate trinity square

It's going into the body shop soon so I'm getting the handles colour coded then.

Gareth I keep toying with the idea. I just don what to do.

Looks awesome! If i was going to do something with the wheels id go darker like the picture Gareth has put on the previous page

Nice pics! Why do you need reversing sensors in a Fabia? Are you a girl and can't park? :rofl:

The seats look like they've been out as you have what looks like copper grease in the runners?

Tints make reversing at night very difficult
