Went out this morning and couldn't resist taking some beading shots. This is what two coats of Autoglym HD and one of Dodo Red Mist can produce...

well i have detailed my car today, bit of a nightmare!!

started out early morning perfect weather, about 10 in the morning and the car starts to bake so had to give up until my driveway was partly covered in shade.

i didnt get many pictures to be honest but i will get some tomoz also going to give it another coat of blue velvet tomoz followed by some red mist on friday.

today it went.

ok so i promised some pictures, i didnt get many during the detail as i was trying to do it fairly fast due to the hot weather.

the products i used


as you can see the car was pretty dirty as iv been busy recently



the only 2 shots i got during the process was of the surfex HD on the car



and then this morning i got some shots of it all clean (well kind of as there are a few water marks from last night)



and some reflections




more wax will be put on tomoz

Is there any dodo juice polish that anyone would recomend?

[DanGull]

They don't make a polish as such - Lime Prime is as close as they get, and strictly speaking that's a paint cleanser. It does however have a little cut and will correct paint in much the same way that Autgoglym Super Resin Polish does.

It also forms a great base for one of their waxes - or any other wax in fact. Lime Prime - Dodo Hard Wax - Dodo Soft Wax - Red Mist gives me great results, but it turns out I'm allergic to Red Mist so I'm going to try something else.

Got my bilberry wheel cleaner today (and some other stuff). I bought some spray bottles from Homebase. I noticed Dan said you need chemical resistant bottles - are they going to melt or something?? It says on the bottle nice smell - it's flippin' horrible!
