lenny Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Lovely day - sun was out... and after sorting the garden I decided to give the R32 a quick wipe over:thumb: Everything was applied with the pc...:buffer: 3 coats of autoglym super resin polish applied with a glaze pad. 2 coats of ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze applied with a glaze pad. 1 coat of nattys blue wax.. Wheels wax with swissol wheel wax Tyres dressed with Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel I am completely blown away with how well the Red moose glaze hides swirls And a reflection shot And a couple of my stereo install...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filters water to 30ppm - I live in a soft water area and the car dries spotless! It filters - 6000-8000 litres of water during its expected life span - cost £100ish.... not bad..
