the applicator didn't go green but my fingers.....

then I started on the waxing.... dodo juice 'supernatural hybrid' very easy to apply and to buff off..... this is my first time at waxing so I hope I done it right!!!

Looking good mate. :afro:

I love SNH - Such great stuff and so easy to use!

Get those wheels cleaned, where was the bleeding shots from the de ironizer!?

I'm jealous of the black, gets such good reflection shots compared to crappy silver.

Looking great  :cool:

I used SNH for first time a couple of weeks ago on black and was mega impressed with the shine and reflections, beats all previous waxes used on that score.
