R222 Wax for the SLaG
 

I tried a new wax for the first time this weekend, R222 100% Carnauba Wax.

I have to say I like it a lot, it's not as easy to remove as a lot of waxes, but compared to previous 100% Carnauba, it was a breeze. Just a little more elbow grease and patience required.

Luckily, even though the sun shone relentlessly all weekend, where I wash my car at home was in full or dappled shade virtually all day.

The pics are only taken on the phone so not the best.

looks very good mate.

I spent 7 hours last weekend with my old man doing a wash, clay and carnauba wax on his black Alfa 159. Came up a treat and surprisingly satisfying (wax smells nice too!) although my arm did ache a bit in the evening.

Spot on. Will defo have to give that stuff a go. :10:

Cheers chaps :ok:

Steve, as I said on Saturday, next time you are ready to wax, give me a shout!

Looking really good dude! Slight change of subject but I really do like the no scoop look :ok:

Cheers matey :ok:

I prefer the grill look too, the only problem with it is the fact the carbon goes milky :sadnod:

This club is turning into the Scooby polishing club.... For once i agree with Nige ;)


Looks good tho :)

wow that looks awesome steve !! drove past yours the other day and noticed how clean the car was lookin great job sir

:lol: I can't compete on the power stakes with lots of people on here, so I polish it within an inch of it's life. It still looks like a ****ty dirty old STi when I pop the bonnet though :wink:

Cheers matey :ok:

Cheers Sim :ok:

looks awsome, very shiney Worzel :polish:

It does look the nuts mate but i keep thinking it needs its scoop back!

Very nice mate :10:

I have a solution for the milky carbon. Rub it down & when you think it looks good ,put some laqure on it. Leave for 5 mins & when It looks ****e put a big tein sticker on it. Trust me I have experience of this. :lol:

Sounds like a plan Nige :lol:

How many miles have you done now since Vince built your engine? :drive:

About 14-15k

Looking good steve:doubleup:

That looks really nice Steve !

Cheers chaps :ok:

It has really bought the metallic out in the paint too :nod:

looks spot on worzel,ive got some 100% carnubra wax too just havnt had time 2 put it on yet.:10:

I have just purchased 2 other waxes this morning.

1 pot was not very cheap at all :doh:

Is there a max number of waxes one person is allowed to own at any one time? Is there a Guinness Book of Records limit you could smash perhaps? :wink:

:SMBLU:

I might even use some on the car for a change too :norty: :cath: :norty:

Having seen the photo you sent to Martyn on my stag do, you certainly need a good wax, old chap! :vom:

:rofl:

I can fully back that up !! :lol::lol::lol:

Really, you naughty boy, would you like a trip to Bourneville Boulevard :cath:

:lol:

Thanks for reminding me of that pic Steve

I did indeed Steve. The larger pictures really show it. Have you changed your back box over?

Back box & Carnubra wax. Ladies whats going on? :meow:

No mate, again it's just had some treatment :polish:

Like I said mate, I can't compete on power, with my ****ty, rattly, overpriced old STi Lump. So I need to blind you with reflective power instead to gain some advantage :ok:

:cool:

I have not seen this photo, and feel that I should have. :zoiks:

:SMBLU:

Tried to find this place on Google Earth, but no luck yet........

:SMBLU:

I wouldn't personally recommend it ;)

:rofl:

I'm not brave enough to bung it into a general google search, I'm on my work PC!
