A lot of folk have been asking for a thread on the Leon, rather than a link to another forum where I normally store my pics. So, here it is. I'll keep it updated with future results and work too...
The pictures below were taken at the start of August last year. The previous major detail was only done 4 weeks previously, when I used Poorboys SSR1 to remove some swirls, then Klasse All in One (AIO) to add a basecoat of protection and finally P21S carnuba wax as my last step product. For this detail, I simply washed it really well with Poorboys Super Slick n Suds shampoo and then finished with a single layer of Optimum Car Wax (OCW).
Several months on, and after 4-5 further applications of OCW, my car looks even wetter, with really deep reflections. This is hard to achieve on silver, and really proves what OCW can do. In the pictures below I also redressed the tyres with Poorboys Bold n Bright. The interior was vacuumed and all hard surfaces dressed with 303 Protectant. I finally gave the engine bay a once over, dressing all plastic and rubber surfaces with 303 Protectant and adding a coat of OCW to all painted surfaces.
In the last six months things have moved on a lot, and the above results can now be surpassed with the Jeffs Werkstatt acrylic range. I'll post results of using Jeffs over the coming weeks, showing what it does to silver in terms of popping the metallic flake and enhancing the gloss.
