Had a bit of a battle with the British summertime weather but got there in the end. Just finished off with Gyeon Primer ready to coat tomorrow.

This is the before


These are after but not great quality

Looking really good. T Cross I'm picking up has the usual car wash swirl marks, so it needs a full polish. I'm hoping a single stage will do, otherwise it's a long process...

I think you could use Primer as a single stage to be honest, or Gyeon Polish either would work I’d say.

When I'm working on VAG group paintwork majority of the time I reach for Koch Chemie F6 or M3 if it's light to medium defects. Gyeon Primer is a finishing polish so will be similar to KC M3.

One of the few polishes that don't rip your shoulder out when buffing them off.

The finished product after 2 coats of Gyeon Mohs. My first time ever applying a “proper” ceramic coating. Truly enjoyable experience minus having to fight with the rain!

Certainly an improvement, I think the previous owner had been washing it with sandpaper  :grin:

Nothing exciting, car insurance renewed and 4 x Pilot Sport 4S (235/35R19) ordered with a wheel refurb to go...Anyone buying kidneys?

Had to replace the Blower Motor and Module as the old one was seizing up and caused the fuse and fusebox to melt, apparently common on many makes. Fitting is is much easier than expected. However the glove box needed to come out to fix the fusebox and that is fiddly more than anything.

Oh and the space next to it that is not used will be the new blower fuse.

^^pretty nasty

Did it have the right fuse? I assumed the fuse would pop way before it got to that stage.

Might go and check fuse at some point.
