  92. #92
    Very nice Winny....love the colour......what other products did you use after the glaze??
  93. #93
    Thanks alot J222.

    No further products were used actually, this was at 6 a.m. at the show and I was a little hungover lol But the finish won best of show paint and body over people who had 1000's and 1000's in their cars, so I was very pleased haha.

    Moar!

    Cant fault you Winny.....its always best to get a perfect paintjob..........the number of people that moan at me for spending so much money on such subtle body mods and paintwork makes me lol because at the end of the day it really is flawless.

    Please please please though if you havent already bang some sealant and wax on....as im sure you already know a glaze offers nothing in terms of protection.

    Ridiculously noon question, but I take it you apply that wax like any other with a pad?
    Surely must take years to buff off?

    I use Microfibre pads, same as which is under the wax in the first pic. Very easy to apply, slightly harder to buff off, but not too hard. Just don't put too much on
