The Polo was looking a little worse for wear after another week of 700 miles driving in torrential rain, dirty motorway spray, brake dust, mud.... (no before's as i forgot :wall: )

*Wash using 2 bucket method, Megs GC Shampoo and lambs wool wash mitt.

*Dried using waffle weave towel.

*Applied BlackFire Wet Diamond using MF applicator and left to cure while i washed the alloys.

*Alloys, Megs wash mitt and Megs GC Shampoo, dried with old MF's.

*Tyres and Trim dressed with Megs Endurance. Trim buffed after 10 mins.

*Arches sprayed with Hyper Dressing and left to dry naturally.

Now for the pic's taken in various locations;

Hyper dressing is a dressing for anything plastic or rubber. i brought it from a company in the USA who no longer ship to the UK. But take a look on www.cleanandshiny.co.uk as i think they sell it.

they are German font therefore they are german plates, just without the "D"!
glad u finally got ur plates sorted mate, u know the english font pressed ones i got, well i am reliably informed that they are still illegal, even tho they have english font and are reflective!! oh well they were free!!

looking absolutely brilliant mate!

What is BlackFire Wet Diamond? A type of wax?

A wee question, is it worse for the car just using a chomois or should i get one of the waffle weave towels. Am sure i got told a chamois aint the best for your paintwork?

Blackfire Wet Diamond is a liquid wax - absolutley the best stuff i've used in a long long time!

A waffel weave towel is better than a chamois yes but you can still inflict swirls with either - just need to be uber uber careful!

cheers Dino, appreciate it. Think i'll give the waffle weave towel a bash. When the meg's wax runs out i'll try that.
