    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.

    Dire weather today. A few weeks since the last wax.


  • Registered Users Posts: 853 ✭✭✭edburg


    Couple of bead shots of Astra, 2 coats of finis-wax done in march still holding up well. Good long lasting wax for light colours.

    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 Posts: 11,866 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭hoodie6029


    Beading nicely, if I do say so myself :D
