BobbyZ Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks good, but just thought I'd mention that AFAIK there's no real benefit in using a machine polisher unless you're actually polishing - the products you used are just a glaze and sealant.

Lots of people use a DA to apply waxes and LSP's, I dont myself but there are many that do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybrain1234 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Update: 2,5 Months - Still beading but not as well as it used to, particulary on the roof and bonnet. To be honest I would say at 2 months it was fading. Although to be fair we have had quite a bit of rain. Not too fussed, as I have been itching to put the products/training from Meg's to good use. I feel a buffing weekend coming up! So the layering will change: Wash Clay (Megs) Polish (Megs Ultimate Compound) Wax - FK1000p Will probably not bother with the Blackhole in the above line up. Does that seem wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Excellent news as I did exactly the same combo on my 911 a couple of weeks back. Last week I didnt even have to wash the car, just used some quick detailer, wipe on/ off and the car looked brand new again. Im only "allowed" to wash my car once every few weeks, so I am hoping that the BH & FK combo keep the car looking good for as long as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that seem wise? As you're polishing first. there's little-to-no need for BH. It's a decent plan.

If the paint is in good enough condition for you to live with, I'd recommend something like Gyeon CanCoat. It'll last 6+ months and it'll make washing the car quite quick and easy whilst offering a degree of self cleaning in between. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybrain1234 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think I`m having a nightmare! Have I missed something, what do you mean? What a skip. Isn't it just, could have buffed the skip too. Excellent news as I did exactly the same combo on my 911 a couple of weeks back.

Im only "allowed" to wash my car once every few weeks, so I am hoping that the BH & FK combo keep the car looking good for as long as possible. Should last for a couple of months, and don't get me wrong it is totally waxless after 2.5 months, just not as waxy as before.

TT350 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Great results. I haven't washed my Z in 12 months and Moss is forming on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Always apply beer, before during and after. If unsure about how much beer to use, top up with more beer. Dont forget to eat though during the course of beer application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Probably not the best way to advertise a car for sale...! Whilst I agree would you (as a man that knows) rather buy an unwashed car with some greenery or a car that's been regularly washed poorly? I love a good mossy car coming in for detailing (or in fact buying one) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Oooh now there's a good question! I know what you mean about detailing a really green-covered car, but I think if I was buying I'd want a poorly washed one that was clean, so I could at least see if anything was hiding under the foliage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Ah but the more foliage the lower the cost of the car, no? Thus more money for beer, detailing supplies and beer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
