Title: saab valet/mini detail - 56k killer
Post by: Guy on 11 June 2009, 23:30
wassup

did my sisters saab today as a birthday present... she kinda liked the result so I thought I would share it with you too...

the original state was a 'normal' car, washed by the Polish dudes at the local supermarket, never waxed etc... being a relatively new car it didn't need any major swirlbusting... so instead i concentrated on the 'niggly' bits, cleaning door shuts that never get cleaned, boot runs and hinges etc, wheel arches and the like... then turned my attention on giving a protective sealant and wax combo that will last the summer and make her happy when she goes topless  :wink:

some befores... interior was a bit doggy but I didn't take any photos of it

How do you find the Jetseal 109 in combination with the 50/50. I have the 50/50 already but wondering what to use as a base product. Had considered the JS 109, just wondered what you think?

Nice results with the Megs APC, might have to get some of that.

i think its a really good combo... the 50/50 is great but the jetseal just gives it the beginning of a really good shine and allows it to be a bit 'deeper' imo
