White can be very tiring to the eye.
In what way ?
White contains all the colours in the rainbow so your optical procesing is more easily saturated especially in bright sunlight.
Ever been to a sun drenched Greek Island with white houses everywhere. Blinding and then burning!
Ah ok. I live in Glasgow though, I never see any bright sunlight  :grin:

Christ, you must be cleaning your car like a demon on a mission of mercy!
Will be visiting Glasgow Sept or Nov. Not sure yet. Staying at Langs.
Want to meet-up for a romp? :grin:

Yeah we could do, I'm on holiday aug and sept, but let me know when you have a definate date.

Well, I agree with Kev [last post anyway  :wink:].

I did a couple of coats of Jetseal then 2 x wax a couple of weeks back and it was difficult to see where I'd covered.

What a great suggestion - will give it a whirl this weekend; thanks!

Ava, if you have a white car, wear sunglasses. Honestly, it improves the process ten fold. It's still hard to see perfectly, but miles better than the naked eye.

You think waxing is difficult, try machine polishing, its fine to start with but figuring out when the polish has gone clear so you know you have worked it properly/long enough, its a god damn son of a b!tch.
