Yeah I already have the Rupes 21 and 75E so needed something more intricate

My first choice was the Nano but at around €550 it was too expensive, still on the list for the future though along with many other machines. :P

Does a Snow Foam prewash get rid of previously applied waxes/carpro reload coatings?

Not usually but it depends on the foam. If it's a high alkaline cleaner it will over time. Most are pH neutral or low alkaline in my experience.

Yeah, we've had a few people say that, but the good news is, that a move is on the horizon - double the space, so more room to expand the ranges we carry!

I picked up a bottle of KKD SiCoat on my trip.

I just washed the car a few times and sprayed on - results are great. Interesting to see how long it lasts, so far so good and the shine/beading off it is impressive.

Hers my van.

I snowfoamed the van, bucket with gritguard, wiped the heavy dirt off, power hosed it, trafic film remover.

Used my lambs wool mitt to wipe the van this time.

Bleeding wheel cleaner for the wheels.

De tarred the van. Plenty of tar all over it.

Then I claybared the van. My arm almost fell off doing the. Took hours.

Used my poorboys da polisher. Two stage polish then waxed it.

Finally did the interior of the van.

All in all I reckon I spent 15 - 16 hours on the van.

I just need to spray the steel rims now to tidy them up a bit.

Any suggestions for what to use as a lsp on dark grey? My options are :
Fusso (dark)
King of gloss (light)
Collinite 845
Collinite 476s
Butter wet wax/jetseal combo

I will be compounding and polishing beforehand and possibly jeweling so I'd like something to give depth and gloss! Thoughts?

Anything carnauba based wax will bling that paint, I know BH finis wax and a 3d paste wax I have here blinged my dads old dark grey Skoda an absolute treat.

Arbo94 · 23-01-2017 08:24PM

Yeah I was leaning towards the 845/476s because I can top them with bouncers done and dusted which will hopefully help keep it nice and glossy :-)
