Then you just copy the image link in dude :y:

Car looks nice but without a UDM/PC to break down the compounds fully and without more intensive products you wont get a Full Paint Correction...

Pics are lush though man. Definately liking the Mk1's a lot atm :)

Nothing to be warry about dude they are one of the best bits of kits around and produce the best results in less time then you could by hand...

Sealant and Polish but no proper wax so the finish and protection will be less than using a product containing Carnuba wax such as Dodo Juice, Victorias or Poorboys

[Spanky]

i might invest in one then, see how i go ha!

And was for carnuba wax, i aint got the money for some decent stuff, my tech wax will do me for now, but i no carrnuba wax is liek the best stuff u can get nearly!

Pure stuff is but goes into ££££'s :fcuk:...

Next step up is Dodo Juice or Poorboys which will last longer, give better protection but it will cost a few quid more man

Well worth it tbh :)

[Noddy]

7 hours sounds about right, it takes me best part of 6 hours to give mine a full treatment :)

Doesnt seem as long when you get into it tbh

I keep my engine bay clean as fook with just regular cleaning and wiping it down...keeping on top of it is the easiest way i think.

Results speak for themselves here man. Good work :)

[Noddy]

indeed, the dodo juice gives amazing results when its fresh on. best £32 i've spent in a long time!!!

[Spanky]

yea well i usually wash it once a week but dont often have time to give it some proper TLC but today was the day and it got some love!!!

Next step is to get the engine bay blinging, although getting the oil leak near the rocker gasket sorted first might b a better idea!

[Spanky]

Where coudl i get this dodo juice from??

and how good is it in comparison to say errr meguires best wax ?

As i allways swear my meguires

Meguiar's are ok but wax's are much better from pretty much any other company...

Dodo Juice for ya...

Much better in comparison as it lasts longer and gives better results
Better value for money all round imao :)

Hey cheers for that, repped!

there are a few diff ones tho, which one would i need lol

[RedB]

As yours is a Posi blue id go with a warmer or lighter wax like these...

Diamond White - Hard Wax - Light Colours
Banana Armour - Hard Wax - Warm Colours

The softer waxes for the same colourations are also good too but just wont last as long or give the best protection but are easier to apply...

Other softer waxes were these btw man...

Light Fantastic - Soft Wax - Light Colours
Orange Crush - Soft Wax - Warm Colours

No worries glad i could help ya :)

[Spanky]

ok cheers mate! ill look into getting some of that stuff!

[Noddy]

i've got blue velvet for my posi blue - purple haze is the soft wax - the hard wax gives an even deeper shine :)

Good stuff but id go with the warmer/lighter coloured waxes unless the car is
dark like mine or a Royal blue, black or similar paint colour mate

[Noddy]

i've tried the banana armor but it didn't give the same effect as the blue velvet.... gives a deeper shine to me:)

What did you try...soft or hard man?

Effects can differ down to polish/sealant/wax combo so its down to choice really and finding what you think works best...

DJ also offer a mix of Waxes in a handybag option on the link above i gave i think mate :)

[Noddy]

I use Auto glym polishes followed by poorboys (sp?) ex-P sealant. It then get a coat of wax every 2-3 months - i tried the hard wax as I have now but the shine wasn't as deep to me

As you said though its all down to personal opinion - to me this seems to be the best combo.
