thanks matey ............. it still needs work likes but it will get there :y:

Results look good mate,

Lime prime though is a paintwork cleanser not a polish, is simply removes polishing residues and any grease marks so that the wax bonds to the paint fully and therefore you get best results.

So really you want to Polish, then lime prime then add sealant and wax on top

lol i always make an arse of the order lol its the first time ive used the likes of lime prime normally if im giving the car a major detail clay and use the megs 1,2 and 3

but i think it will need machined but, the lime prime was ace :)

[stu-n-shell]

Wrong!, Lime prime has light abrasives in it has a cut of two so is basically a polish aswell, also a cleanser for a wax to bond to, also good for getting rid of oxidation due to it's oils and cut, i've used this many times and works wonders if your doing a quick job by rotary, much better than AG resign polish as it removes swirls, resign polish just fills them in.

i know bud the car got a good clean inside today and i ran out of daylight for a good polish so i whacked some wax on quickly

That aint hard lol :y:

I thought the abrasives in lime prime would have been far to light to give any correction of swirls. I stand corrected though :y:

James

EDIT Ive always used lime prime lite, am i correct in saying that is not a polish as im sure it contains no abrasives?

[saxo_ron]

Looks good scotty, having owned a black vts im sure that the car looks better than the photos, let down by your camera I reckon.

LOL just spotted the sticker on your back bumper

[scottyvtr]

thanks Ron, it still needs a wee bit more work but im happier now ive seen it in the day light :y: aye my camera is a wee point and shoot job is 8mpx wen the light is low it gets a bit weird daylight it takes a great pic :)


aye its a nice touch, jules put it in the wrong place it was ment to go above the tow eye LOL


got the door standards and stuff to do which i can do today since its dry and sunny :)

[Claireeyy]

Looks good :y:
before you clay the car i wouldn't dry the car.

[Jules]

The Lime Prime Lite we bought to try remove the swirls and blemishes on the paintwork as with the Megs Total Compound as on Monza it states they are for paint correction :y:

It says on the bottle to use after clay before polishing :)

Pleased with the results so far but cant wait to see it once its been machined :P

Lime prime has abrasvies and cleans paintwork and removes oxidation, lime prime lite is just cleanser and a glaze thats the difference between the two.

I thought so.

Sorry for giving you false info at the beginning scott, i use the light version thats why i said what i did about it been purely a cleanser.
