A little overnight rain has resulted in yet more beading!!!

love this one, as you can see the metal flakes clearly in the beads.

Ofcourse mate, yours will more than likely be a lot better.............

Where's the pics of the Octy? Haven't seen any?

There aren't any yet... Hoping for some industrial stylee ones I'm working 7 days a week at the moment so simply dont have time. :(

And looking great also Jon!

I'll bring some with me

If you want to use that then no worries, plenty to choose from...........

The 476 is great stuff.

It's very easy to use & has no dusting when you buff it up.

It's long lasting too.

I wax the car every 6 months & the old wax is just starting fade away before I apply a new coat.

I've used on my vRS in the past (about 4 coats), used it on the wifes Mini, & applied 2 coats on the Leon. Good value for money!!

Jon's already answered the earlier question, re 476 and dark colours. As you can see - works well!

There's some of my latest pics in my 'members cars' thread Simon, if you want to have a look. Still coming up really well, considering wax last touched it in late October I think

Cheers,

Steve

A reflection shot and a beading shot of my dark (Island Green) Octy II, waxed with 2 or 3 coats of 476.....

Great 3D effect on the beads in the 2nd shot Andy - can see the pearlescent bits in the paint!

Now can't resist popping a picture up as well. Don't have any beads to hand, but I'll post up some reflection

Steve

Some cracking pics there guys..........looks like I will have to buy a tripod for my camera and try to improve.........mind you I need a dark coloured car to keep up with you guys..............

Never bother with a tripod for car shots TBH. I find an SLR helps with the pics though

Steve

Did he say wax? :rofl:

Nice job mate as usual.

Wish i was closer to you my car looks 10 years old now and its only an 06:(

Well I never just don't know what you mean young man

Get cracking mate and make sure you get a decent sealant and wax to show up that silver paintwork...........

Yeah Diamond Silver is good looking.Better cast the AutoGlym polishes aside now and go for something better.

If you do still like the Autoglym products then you could try this new product:

Elite Car Care - Autoglym High Definition Wax (NEW)

I've been busy altough I havn't mastered the art yet.

You can see the swirls in this one (need to work on them)

Cracking pictures mate...................

Need a little paint correction there though................:(

Do you care to enlighten me as to how I could correct my paint.

I was under pressure from SWMBO to hurry up so it was a quick job.

I used Autoglym super resin polish and the Autoglym sealant (don't hold this against me).........lol

When your being paid to do it, it's not that much of a problem with timing and as my girlfriend helps out it works well for both of us..........

Usual Saturday like that will take me from 9 until 5pm depending on how bad the car is and how bad the paintwork is looking.........
