Had a bit of time to get the salt off and the shine back, just a quick wash so wheels didn't get the time I usually give (these are winters c/o ldprestige - they got a few coats of cquk 3.0 prior to being fitted so pretty much just a gentle wash and agitate during snow foam with a detail brush and the faces were good to go - barrels not looking too bad either).
Valet Pro ultimate snow foam, followed by contact wash with carpro reset and just trying out auto fanatic 007 gloss enhancer. So far I like it, gave a good coating last wash and used as a drying aid today, beading when dirty seemed in a par with bsd, but not at all grabby. I've got a stash of the auto finesse foaming wheel cleaner to get into when I have a bit more time - happy to post thoughts when I do if anyone interested - I usually stick with bilberry wheel cleaner. I've got my summer wheels to clean, decontaminate and clay before I change back.
Tyres eventually dressed with perl - please excuse the pics that made it through before I'd had a chance to dress the tyres. Most shameful....

Some shots I took after / during a full ceramic coating application yesterday.

Products used were Tevo Body Gard S60 and Metal Gard (wheels and exhaust) and topped off with some Britemax Igneous Quartz

Had a go at using a da polisher today. So it was a wash first, then a rub down with a synthetic clay pad by hand, then Meg's Ultimate polish by da polisher, then finished with Meg's Techwax NXT 2.0 by hand. Don't think it's bad for a beginner:sm4:

How strange just done mine today with Done & Dusted.

Also all my own work too, lol

Second time I have used it since buying it and forgot how nice it smells.

Seen on here the si edition of this, be interested in how different the effect would be if any.

At last a nice dry warm day - so took the chance to put a coat of Natty's Black topped with Done + Dusted.
Oh last weekend it got a coat of Chemical Guy's Cheery Wet Wax - need to use up the growing stock of 'I'll try that wax ' as shed is getting too full !

Sat
