Then you just copy the image link in dude

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 · 3rd April 2008, 00:18

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

...

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

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 · 3rd April 2008, 00:50

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

Spanky · 3rd April 2008, 00:50

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 · 3rd April 2008, 00:51

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...
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/do...ce/cat_59.html

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

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
