Finally I got to do this....

[Damon]

My own car!!!!

I decided to finally paint correct mine. Its seems wrong that I spend so much time getting other people's cars A1+ but have never had chance to do my own car ut

My car had swirls and water blade scratches from the previous care routines so I decided to sort these. I am also testing a new range of polishes so I incurred some severe marring to test the effectiveness of these (look at the scratches around the lights)

So on with the machine polisher and new polish

and a perfectly defect free finish

As some of you might remember I have discussed the differences in Carnauba and man-made acrylic finishes

And generally on light coloured cars I will finish a detail with an acrylic finish..

But when you have a £1500 tub of wax in your possession its only a matter of time before you try it on our own car

So out with the Swissvax Divine

This wax is amazing. Apart from the stunning finish I am still raving about the longevity of the finish. Remember the F40 I did?

Well I couldn't believe the level of beading when I recently cleaned it...it was like I had just waxed it. So I fancied some of that longevity on my car.

So this is the afters....

So down to the pub for a well deserved pint. The light was better so I took a few more pics...

Then back home the light was low, good for car pics

This one is the best and really shows how good the finish is

 

[Jt]

dude...as usual, the finish is excellent.

good news! i now have in my posession a s4 avant in brilliant red ( replaced the X5 diesel before it bored me to death)..its a bit swirly, and i think cos it has supaguard on it, like the m5, it has made it appear worse..

i need some remedial paintwork magic asap please..

can you fit me in before you embark on world domination..i.e soon?

i hate swirly cars, especially when they are mine!!!!

 

[Damon]

Will do JT, actually a red S4 is something I'd love to do, they look great when done

 

[Jt]

let me know as soon as you can mate...this ones a cracker, just needs that 'finishing' touch so to speak.

 

[DaveP]

[Damon]

is that Guy's old car? If so it sounds like you've bagged a good value car there. :thumbsup2:

 

[tonyh]

the finish looks superb. Is the wax similar to Zymol Royale ?

 

[Damon]

Yes, its Swissvax's (Swissol's rebranded name) equivalent. Both are fantastic waxes

 

[tonyh]

i recently had zymol dave do my car , paint corrected then zymoled lovely job but not cheap

 

[Damon]

I know Dave Bowerman, he is member of my professional detailers forum.

Good lad, owns his own Fezza 328

Yes he is not cheap, but good work.

But there are good competitors in the premier detailing profession

 

[Oirish Kev]

Imight have to call you up. I hace used Swissol Saphie in the past (I know no where near as good as your stuff) but marvelous all the same. Got my Zed back from the dealers and its all swirlled in straight rather than circular lines! Really fecked off need to take pics as hiw valet swearing he doesnt use a blade. im not impressed and hoping theyll come out.

 

[So Poo]

Not just a blade that will cause striaght line marks. A sponge can do it just as well.

 

[Nick W]

so does that put some value on your car with that wax on it? at 1500 a pot then a few mml of that on the car should add a few squids!

nice work and looking good. black CSLs look even better...
