I'll write a full write up later.. car was fully PC'ed in 3 stages/waxed etc. Looks sexay if I say so.

[richo]

Gorgeous car without a doubt.

Great job on the detail aswell looks awesome.

[dannygti]

i must say cloud that looks awesome, done a great job and i must admit that that is the nicest green car ive ever seen:y:

[Predator_R32]

the dodo juice did a good job then :y:

did you mix the snow foam up with water in the gilmour guns bottle, ie 50:50 ??

[Emma_ZS]

Oh my god, i am in love! lol very nice :)

[sexosxjohn]

dont you feel guilty driving it when its that immaculate? how long does it all take you lol looks great btw:y:

[Predator_R32]

id say it took at least 12 hours for that maybe more

[Scott]

whoah thats clean mate. Looking forward to seeing some of the pc brigades cars on sunday want to see these finishes up close because that looks amazing in the pictures.

Rating on the dodo juice?

[craigy_87]

very nice mate love it
so would ya say the dodo juice went over the wet diamond ok as i heard there aint many wax's that go over it ok thats why blackfire brought out 1 but if this works i may just buy it :y:

[James]

the dodo juice did a good job then :y:

did you mix the snow foam up with water in the gilmour guns bottle, ie 50:50 ??

No man, I had started before the snow foam arrived unfortunatlly, so thats just some cheap shampoo mixed 90-10 lol! Snow foam arrived literally 10 minutes after the car had been rinsed down. I was gutted lol

dont you feel guilty driving it when its that immaculate? how long does it all take you lol looks great btw:y:

Don't feel guilty at all, it's all part and parcel of looking after your car lol

id say it took at least 12 hours for that maybe more

Took from about half 11 to half 6. Bear in mind the car was already pretty spotless from when i cleaned it a couple of days back, did not need claying etc. The paint work wasent also in bad condtion anyway, if it was i agree it would have taken 12 hours +. Still not 100% happy with my front wheels.. just cant shift the break dust no matter what lol

whoah thats clean mate. Looking forward to seeing some of the pc brigades cars on sunday want to see these finishes up close because that looks amazing in the pictures.

Rating on the dodo juice?

Dodo juice for shine/feel = 10/10, i'll let you know how it protects the car. Great wax to be honest.. makes the paint feel like silk. If you look past the state of the carbon bonnet the green paintwork is pretty spotless. Can't really fault it..

[James]

very nice mate love it
so would ya say the dodo juice went over the wet diamond ok as i heard there aint many wax's that go over it ok thats why blackfire brought out 1 but if this works i may just buy it :y:

It went over great, made it wetter to be honest...

[craigy_87]

sounds good to me
is it cheaper than the 50 quid wax blackfire brought out??

[James]

32 pound a tub :)

[craigy_87]

an a nice price tag aswell seems i may invest in some dodo juice lol

[craigy_87]

how long do you find it takes to break down the blackfire compound (how many passed estimated) an how big a panel do you do at 1 time

[Ben_L]

thats some Super Saxo Whoring! Car looks amazing mate! Can do mine next if you want ;)

[Paget]

looks mint mate

[James]

how long do you find it takes to break down the blackfire compound (how many passed estimated) an how big a panel do you do at 1 time

I just do it until the panel begins to haze dude.. make sure the compound is worked right in and then buff it off. Don't do it by passes :o with a decent light you can see when you need to stop lol

[Predator_R32]

you tryed clay baring your wheels to get the brake dust off???

[Baz]

very clean Mr Cloud :d canee wait for Cloud vs The Swirly Monster lmao

[frankie]

seeing this i feel ashammed of myself :-(, i shall no longer waste my mhoney of carsh wash machine bobbers (although tis fun) and get off ones arse and do it proper.

[James]

you tryed clay baring your wheels to get the brake dust off???

Yea man, they had wonder wheels on front/back as well. only the back shifted though. It's looks like it's caked on into the paint :S

[craigy_87]

I just do it until the panel begins to haze dude.. make sure the compound is worked right in and then buff it off. Don't do it by passes :o with a decent light you can see when you need to stop lol

yeah i usually do it outside though as av no garage, but gonna see if i can blag my papa's garage at one point get lay'd into it. might look for a compound with more cut tho and maybe a rougher pad as i have some pretty bad swirls/scratches.

[furioAL]

Perfect.... need i say more...

Love your car cloud, and it SUPER clean...

Look forward to seeing it properly this weekend :y:

Alex
:)

[paul_vtr666]

Good job. Real wet look finish

[Predator_R32]

did you clay them last mate, clean the wheels as normal then do it last the suds may soften up the brake dust, failing that try an all purpose degreaser or a decent steam cleaner if you can, was it an aggressive clay??

[Barry123]

amaZING jimbob.

[Jaytee]

Man that colour looks gorgeous when its clean, quality job mr cloud

[mrolinc]

[Yates]

[RedB]

Decent whoring session there matey, great results :A:

Wish i had a driveway and power washer atm

[mark16v]

Still not 100% happy with my front wheels.. just cant shift the break dust no matter what lol..

The only way to prevent this is to wash the wheels every couple of days, to prevent build up as it tends to bake into the laquer :panic:

[funkmaster-fresh]

whats the product u use to make the car look all wet and shiny..
duno if you know what i mean, but the car looks kinda wet.
