ug45cwb Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Car has taken a complete pounding with this weather so thought it was time to give the paint some protection. Ordered some Dodo Juice colour charged wax from Andy (really fast service and good price too). Today was nice enough to try it out, so I did! Forgot to get a before pic but imagine a piece of salt grit with a Z somewhere inside it. During: After: It was starting to get dark by the time I finished but I am really pleased with the result, car looks much less dull IMO. The whole thing only took about 90 minutes and the wax was very easy to apply. Should keep my going until spring when I'll give it a full detail and some layers of the Supernatural I also ordered Cheers again Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 If you have a spare couple of hours can you do mine? The Zed is looking well worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ug45cwb Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Cheers everyone. Just drove it about in the wet so the nice finish didn't last long Car looks mint mate,well worth the effort.Only 90 mins,usually takes me a couple of hours just to wash it. 90 mins labour time, not including stuff like waiting for the wax to cure and the snow foam to do its stuff. Probably 2.5 hours total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 is it just me that loves the look of cars covered in snow foam - it's almost a shame to wash it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Looks awesome, glad you got the shipment ok. There is something very satisfying about the first clean of the year after winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
