Post by: Mohsin on 09 April 2014, 11:38
Finally got the chance to clean it...pretty pleased with it.  :nerd:

Before it was washed couple days ago. His and hers:

Just washed but not dried:

No, thank you! I couldn't click on this topic fast enough. :)

What wax did you use? Lovely gloss to it.

I used Meguirs Carnuba Gold wax. I haven't really got the patience or the skill like others on here so it probably isn't the best and doesn't last that long. But it does the job for me.

Mint!

Love that colour, but seeing as my last 2 cars have been that shade I felt I had Togo for something different when I ordered my new GTD...

Well it looks excellent (well buff!) Mohsin. You could always top up with a spray detailer to protect the wax, such as Sonax Brilliant detailer which I cottoned onto after seeing JBirchy recommend it around here.

Really nice job there with the detailing!

Is it me or possibly the camera, but does it look slightly purple?

I've placed an order for an R in night blue, but may change to lapiz or black.

I don't suppose you've got any more pics of Night Blue?

I'm torn between that and Black.

Thanks  :smiley:

Night blue looks awesome in the sun, the fleck in the paint really glitters  :cool:
