Nobody seems to bother with silver much as it doesn't tend to give quite the same results as as black etc, so here's my amateurish contribution to show it can be done.

 

2bm, AG SRP, two coats of Poorboys EX-P and then a top coat of Dodo Juice Purple Haze.

Very nice Mark - looking good!

Thanks ste, got my eye on a few additional parts but they all cost a bloody fortune lol

Ok so I've never explored this part of the forum but I do like give to my car a good scrub. Before I bought the furby I did use hand car washes so I'm still a bit new to it all.

So the furby was treated to a good clay (bilt hamber) then waxed with turtle wax ice. Then the Honda is my mums, she decided to wipe it down with a damp cloth and made a right mess, so it got a quick wash and autoglym aqua wax whilst drying, just a quick job before my dad got home and saw the mess.

Agreed - given that Marc Leddy helped with the spec and blending trials - i wouldnt expect anything less.

It's the original version of the Britemax Clean Max (purple) the new version is Britemax Pure Max (blue) I thought to try the old version first to see how it performs

Thanks for the above. Thoughts on the old version?

Sorry Chubbs I forgot to mention how good the shampoo was. 

 

I think it's a really great shampoo if I'm honest, 32oz for around £12-£14, you don't need a lot of the shampoo in the bucket, I used 3oz but that's because I always use that amount! You will only need a maximum of 1oz to 1 & an half oz (you could use even less) it is extremely sudsy & very slick when using on the paintwork with a nice bubble gum smell  I've actually got loads of shampoo's ranging from Megs, CG, AF, EZ) & many more, but I have to say that I really do like this Britemax Clean Max 

 

Take a look below on DW link: it shows some great reviews for shampoo & the main reason why I selected the Britemax was purely down to cost & how much product you got, when comparing to shampoo's like AF & Meg's or even CG, definitely a lot of bang for your buck.

Handed the keys back today to the client of this beauty, KTM Adventure, following a full decon, safe wash & protection.

 

Protection came in the form of ACF50 on the hard to reach & exposed areas, as well as underseat, with the tank, plastics & screen receiving a ceramic coating.

 

Needless to say, the client found the finish "awesome" & he managed to get it home before the heavens opened!

Gave the Superb full decon and polish with School Concepts S30+ yesterday. Wiped down with AW Stripped Ease and given a layer of AW Enigma. Not great photos.
