iam in the process of cleaning her at the moment, took that photo when i got home

Lovely looking car there... very nice :)

Looks very nice indeed.

However - AG High Def twice a month is a complete waste of product. You can get 3-6 months out of a well applied coat of HD - applying that often will probably mean that you're bonding wax to old layers of wax and therefore the wax is not being as protective as it could be.

Very very smart.....but come on...you know you should lower it

Very nice pics, like the flapz. ;) :D

Pah, there's just too many white ones :P

Looking good, best colour of course :D

How do you find the time to wash it 4 times a week?

And isn't applying HD Wax twice a month a bit excessive? I have found a couple of coats lasts for ages with great beading, just giving it a quick spritz of Express Wax after each wash just once a week.

HD Wax also proved to be one of the longer lasting waxes in this Detailing World test (along with others):

Edit: Ooops looks like Dan got in before me.

i only wax the paint protection film that often, it feeds the film aswell as protects it smile.gif
