Default 2 Day Wax!
A customer at work who runs a large Valet business dropped in a nice pot of Zymol wax a few weeks ago as a 'thank you'. So, with nothing better to do on Sunday and most of Monday I set about Claying, deswirling, polishing and waxing. Took ages, but the car has never reflected like it does now. Pics arent great as in my garage off my phone.








Sorry, that was meant to be posted in the Show and Shine section!

Cheers didlo, since burning through the paint on my Mrs car (due to a bad previous paint job!), I havent, and nore will I be braving a mop/polisher. I have done the best I can by hand. I used Meguirs Swirl X which was hard work but effective enough. When I have some money I want to take it to a Pro and get it machined/paint corrected, but happy enough for now.

Looks like we were all busy at the weekend. Dont know about you, but I am just looking forward to only having to wash it now. If I see another pot of wax this side of christmas it'll be too soon.

Looks good mate, you can get some really nice wet looking paint with black, if you ever fancy a machine you could allways get a da polisher, its allmost impossible to burn through the paint unless you stand there for about half an hour and dont move it from 1 spot. I use the g220 and hasnt let me down yet

So what wax was it fella?

The stuff we used smells like toffee. It was simply called "Wax" !

Like we said on Saturday, not a great marketing session that one!
