Wow JB, awesome job. :cool:  DJ Blue Velvet Pro is my favourite wax - looks superb on the Lapis. 

Pleased with the results?  How did you find the application?  I find it goes on and buffs off very easily for a hard wax. 

Applied a coat of Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro after reading a few recommendations on here  :cool:

Really easy to use. I used a microfibre cloth folded this time but will buy some small soft foam applicators for next time. I was quite surprised how easy it buffed off as I thought it looked quite oily as I wiped it on. I only bought a tiny tester pot but hardly used any and reckon there will be enough for another 2 - 3 coats based on today's use. the paint was pretty clean anyway but this stuff has deepened the shine even more. :laugh:

These are brilliant for applying hard wax and perfectly fit the pot (full size)  :smiley:  out of stock at moment though.  Better than the finger mitt style imo.

Doing a spot of camping this weekend, check out  my pair vw, but Eagle Eye viewers will know one of them is a tent.

Obviously DBP is the best colour but JB that car is unreal mate. Perfect colour and wheels.

JB, maybe it's my eyes, but in both pics (especially the bottom one), your door looks very slightly out of alignment with the rear quarter panel, almost as if it's not closed fully.  I know someone (Asker I think?) had an issue with the door not sitting exactly flush), is yours ok?

Rebecca, you are constantly on the same page as me. Freaky. I was just about to post with a similar question. Perhaps he has not shut his door properly. Otherwise, he needs it adjusted.

Regarding my front doors, I am nearly there. Just need a little more TLC. I want both sides to look similarly hung. When a car is a touch wonky, it is quite a task. Just the driver front door needs a tiny (less than 0.25mm) drop now and it will be perfect. Will be done on the 26th May when the car goes in to have a keyless immobiliser fitted.
