Thanks for looking :)

Nice results and good reflections.

Did you wash it again after claying before giving it a coat of wax?

misted over with lt and buffed between claying and waxing :)

That's an excellent finish, good work :)

Thats a good finish PP, Never used Petes 53 but gives a nice wet looking finish to the red with good deep reflections.

Good work :thumbup:

Great work mate

Not that I know anything about car cleaning, but that paintwork looks superb.

(whoever you are).

Looks good i just hope that it lasts as it didnt when i have it on mine :(

Top work though mate

Are you and Tom having a shiny red Octy competition?

Did you wax it with the G220? How are you getting on with it?

Yup buffed off using the g220, also started to do a bit of swirl correction previously, but the sonus white pads I have, the velcro felt backing is pretty crap, need to get some megs ones :)

Good work mate, how easy is the Pete's 53 to work with? Easy to apply and buff off?

Easy as pie mate, really nice to work with.

Needs a couple of costs IMO but looks good and is good VFM if you want shine over endurance

I have been looking out for some to pop up on DW to try and some just has but it looks like I have missed out on it................results look good though.............:thumbup:

Did you just go with one coat or a couple?

That really is very glossy indeed - the paint does indeed look in very nice condition!!

Perhaps I need something a little more exotic on top of the Colinite 476s?? :rubchin:

That's why I suggest we put the CG WWWW on top.................:rolleyes:

Got mine from cyc if that helps.

Out of interest as anyone got their hands on some dodo supernatural?

at £95 they can keep it as the zymol titanium ive got does more than i need it to and i only have that as it was given to me

If ive got a decent amount left ill give you a shout for a try :thumbup:

:thumbup:

Looks good :cool:

Heard good things about the 53 as well. Which one are you bringing later? :)

The Octy it will be, just finnished washing it (again :)) and applied a second coat by hand:O Got about half the car buffed off and then it started to rain :mad: Still managed to get it finnished t'was a bugger tho, then went over with Sonus caranuba spritz, overall well chuffed with the result and the rain prooved the beading qualities :rofl:

Still needs a good few swirls removing but that will have to wait for now.
