    Beads aren't as good as Vectra have!
    This is after a coat of Fusso.

    Those beads are not bad at all
    Try a second coat of fusso.

    Failing that, Get yourself a tin of king of Gloss or Authentic,
    Both great and both simple to use.

    Vectra - I am following your advice, two coats of Fusso are applied already. I have bought KOG and I'll apply it after the next wash :)

    Just curious

    How long did you leave between coats?
    I left 24 hours though a couple of hours should suffice,,
    I prefer to play safe than sorry :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭bbari


    I applied the 2nd coat after the 1st wash which after 2 weeks of applying the 1st coat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,917 ✭✭✭✭Toyotafanboi


    came out to these bad boys this morning :P

    beading is so bitter sweet because it looks awesome and it represents how well protected your car is, which eases your OCD, but after like 10 seconds of driving on a wet road the whole car is ruined and you don't have another chance to wash it for days.

    that's one quick coat of jeffs prime that i had lying around from years ago. cool stuff that product, as you all i know i'm no detailer but you can put it on glass and non/ low textured plastic too, so you can literally do the whole outside of the car in it and it's nice to have a bit of protection on the window rubbers/ scuttle panel etc.

    Not half as good as some others here but this is my contribution!

    I couldnt get decent photos due to the shade (Ford is parked beside the house so half the car was in the shade, other half wasnt) and the sun was shining too bright on the bonnet of the Toyota. Oh well :pac:

    Looking good.
    Told you it was great stuff. Get a second coat on it while you can.
    Do not use any QD after washing ti and that stuff will impress you for months on end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,865 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    That's the plan. I was planning it this morning but things halted with the weather!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,043 ✭✭✭hoodie6029


    Beading nicely, if I do say so myself :D
