White Cars

Swissol didn't manage to get a very good shine.

Megs Gold was basically the same.

Megs NXT was best by far but still didn't blow me away.

So I tried Megs #7, #16 #26 was good, but the 6 hours of work put in only looked about 5% better than just using NXT.

I had to clay bar the boot lid, then applied a Lacro Diamond Bright stage 1&2 on the boot lid, it was just as good as the rest of the car that had 6 hours spent on it!

Car currently has been clay bared, some T Cutting, Swissol Cleanser, followed by Lacro base, followed by swissol, then 4 layers of NXT, then last week's Megs 6 Hour stint, so certanly has some layers on it!

But I havn't been blown away by anything so far, so what to try next? What do you guys reckon

Whats best for the Carbon Fibre? Lacro Diamon Bright works lovely, but it's not exactly cheap!

Don't really want to use any products that cut, as the car has so many layers on already don't want to strip them all off

 

Looks very very clean to me, 6 hours on the boot lid, I would have lost interest after 10 mins.

 

Cheers mate.

Sorry didn't type to well, I meant I spent 6 hours on the entire car, yet on the boot lid I spent about 5 minutes putting on a Lacro Diamond Bright.

Then the end result was the same!

 

Use the optimum car wax steve and keep applying layers of it, it will get better the more layers you put on

Just keep at it mate

 

frayz is OCW better than Megs NXT?

 

since WHEN have YOU spent 6 hours cleaning a car?????

 

Sorry my valeter

 

thats more like it! after your valeter had finished with the car did your butler put it away in the garage so your gardener could get on with doing the lawn (on one of them posh sit-on lawnmowers) and trimming the bushes, whilst you shot some pheasants on some of your land. where was the wife? was she with the nanny in the east wing playing with the children?












LOL

 

Have to agree with Frayz - Optimum Car Wax is one of my favourite products on white. It's so easy to use (spray on, wipe off) that I recommend treating it as a quick detailing spray - use it after every wash. It takes a couple of coats and a wash before the gloss really gets going, but then it begins to look like this (ok, not white, but a light colour all the same).

 

The GT3 looks well clean from the pics

 

OK will try some OCW.

 

Can you suggest anything for the carbon fibre?

 

Nevetas you have way too much money lol

 

lovely car

 

check my post on this nev....

 

Baby Oil!

 

what a waste of good baby oil...

 

OK I'm going to give OCW a try, if it fails to deliver I'll be hanging my head in shame and running straight back to swissol.

 

is there anything u havent tried mate

 

I've pretty much tried the lot now, although I do fancy trying Zymol Royal, however even my budget doesn't stretch to that

 

Just remember to give the OCW at least 3-4 coats before you pass judgement - it takes this much to deliver on mine, and from then on it's awesome. I would try 303 Aerospace Protectant on the carbon fibre, although the OCW is also safe for use on all trims (even rubber!), and would give it a nice gloss.

 

Non metallic’s are difficult to bring up. I clay bar'd my car, then washed it with warm water and mer polish mix. The result was excellent:

Something you should consider buying

Had clear bra's / armourfend on the Scoob and the CSL.

OK at first, then started going yellow, peeling, cracking.

The guy that bought my CSL hated it so much he had it all removed.

So don't really rate it anymore. However Paint Shield are supposed to off come up with a new one that doesn't discoulour.

 

This is to be used travelling to show etc then whipped off whilst static

and put back on to go home

 

Oh Right!! Nasty!!

 

Keeps the car looking great though

Well none Porkers of course

 

I think I'd prefer the dirt / stone chips

 

OK Havn't washed the car since my last 'session' about 3 weeks ago. It hasb't been used apart from last few days while i'ts been in the workshop.

Anyway, Mick is coming over tomorrow for a session and these are the products I currently have:-

Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze, Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax, Meguiars NXT, Optium Car Wax.

So tomorrow I was thinking of doing:-

Wash
Megs #7
Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax

Then next time, just wash & OCW.

Or am I wasting my time, considering last time car was washed Megs #7 was applied anyway.

Any suggestions?

 

Your wasting Micks time and your Money

ITS SHINEY ENOUGH ALREADY !!!!
