Oh my dayzzzzzzzzzzz. What method are you using to apply the DJ LP with? I recommend a DA...I use this combo for a quick spruce up maybe twice a year, gives such good resuslts...Even on my old crappy silver paint work  :grin:

When I do get round to doing the car which I'm hoping will be this week sometime, I've just come back from a break in Devon and she's in need of some TLC...

Firstly giving it the snow foam treatment...

Then the 2 bucket method...

Then drying her with a Waxamomo drying towel(which I bought when buying the lime prime and SN)

Then applying the Lime prime with DJ finger app...(i think a couple of coats shud do?)

Then the all important SN( I'm thinking 3 or 4 coats...and again using another DJ finger app)

I wouldn't use the finger applicator for the lime prime. Got one of the foam pads? Or the fluffy buffing pads?

I'd use http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=ddjbr OR http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=mrsca

for applying your LP. Then one of those finger mitt things for the wax  :smiley:

Thanks for the link :wink:

Well I finally got round to doing the car with the LP and SN...and yes in the end i did use a Megs foam pad for the LM and the a finger mitt for the SN...

Well here's how I got on...

Firstly I used the Karcher to just rinse it for starters..

Then I had some fun with snow foam using AS Hyper Ultra Mousse and letting it dwell for a 20mins while'st I had a coffee...





I then used the 2 bucket method using Megs next gen

I then dried the car with a Waxamomo big towel and other MF...
After that i applied two coats of LP and after the second coat had been applied I started on cleaning the wheels which didnt take long as they've been treated with PB so it was literally a wipe off and buff...

I then dressed the tyres in megs endurance high gloss tyre, which I must say is great...




I then applied 3 coats of the SN which in the flesh looks amazing, well worth the money...So it is the end finish...










OOps! :embarassed: just realised my windows look untreated in the pics LOL but rest assured there sparkling too, i used AG fast glass for the windows...

Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂
