So. There is some expensive to ME gear in there...

Am I happy that I spent the extra..?

Time will tell I suppose. 1st impression is it is very very clean. The white is white if that makes sense. It is not as shiny as when using TW ICE. Looks clean does not look bling is the best description. I'm happy. I'm not jumping through hoops having orgasms though :(

Will I buy expensive again?

Time will tell...

And then it rained!! Oh Belfast I love you!

Car looks good and a decent range of products. Great work!

 

What are your thoughts on R222 wax?

 

I'm a big fan of the R222 standard and concours versions both on my shelf. 

The r222 wax I have to admit was an awesome experience applying it. And buffing it off. I watched all the YouTube videos etc but you don't get the feel.. no hassle or white residue etc, just slick. Was like Vaseline!!

I would sum up by saying I usually hate waxing, as its hard and a rush job. Not with this wax. I'm looking forward to using again.

The car does look good. It's a different look than I have been getting with cheaper products. I like the wet look I was getting from them. However they never lasted. I'm looking forward to seeing how well this lot lasts/holds up.

I think you have been let down by a dull day, I fancy if the sun was out you would see the real fruits of your labour. That's when the wet gloss look of R222 will really show itself.

Don't be too hard either, I find white is one of the toughest colours to get the uber shiny look from, especially without bright daylight. I bet if you could get it under artificial light like a multi-storey car park etc you'd be blown away.

Nonetheless, the car looks great and the infamous Belfast rain at least shows off some nice beading.

Correct and correct. Sun came out today. Looks amazing. Dare I say it: more grown up looking! Then I had it under the lights at MOT centre (passed!) and WOW. Really impressed. Cheers for the heads up guys
