Just been out, testing
Certainly a lot better, feels like it wants to go where its meant to now. I think TBH the Combo arb was a little too stiff...

Looks like there was still a fair bit of old dressing on the arches judging by the patchiness, even after the IPA clean (not entirely surprising, tbh it's near on impossible to shift all of it if there's years of old dressings on there)

Is a good product overall - just needs to cure fully before getting wet. It got rained on after 2 hours on my van and etched water marks on to the wing mirrors which now don't shift!

Ah right, thanks rich.
Probably due to the bumper care that I used so much before realising its not that great.

I think I'm going to go back to the dodo juice supernatural trim sealant. I had better results.

Yeah, the one for the centre panel I did. Made form some 3mm cf sheet, took a bit of swearing and trial and error but got there in the end.

Thanks Robin Subtlety is the key! Although I have taken my own fair amount of inspiration from many people on here over the years!

Well, gave the car a quick wash.
When i say quick, I mean the arrival of the new Karcher meant I could get the snow foam out again and on a windy Sunday, I washed the majority of cars in the street!

Gave her another coat of wax too, just because I could.

Was clean Monday, till the commute and buggering lorries had their way, so now its dirty again

However, popped out tonight in the fog, hoping to get some magical effect that would look pretty on a picture.
Nonetheless, it didnt work - probably down to my camera skills - but I still got a couple of photos before getting too cold on a dark estate!

Uploaded to flickr hoping the quality isnt murdered too much.






Moody edit -
