great photo shot and great finish

Hi Enzo

What polishes and waxes do you use? I machine polished mine last year with a my Meguiars G220, and as you say it takes many hours of hard work, but definitely worth while ;-)

The finish looks superb on yours! Have you managed to keep the paintwork swirl free?

Simon

hi simon i mainly use a rotary with various compunds but do use the DA for fragile work, if i remember i went round the car about 3 times machine polishing, each time i reduced the cutting pad.

yes kept swirl free, on the wax side i use Zymol, Swissvax and GTechniq

Well to be honest we did have a little bit of fun with some others, just always on the look out for the boys in Blue

I had a play with a dark 3200 and thought your car looked familiar. We went through a tunnel and I gave it the berries and it was great watching all the french drivers winding up their windows. Entente-f*cking-cordial!

Hi Enzo - I'm not brave enough to use a rotary so I spend more time with the DA instead - good for building up the muscles...

I used 2 grades of cutting pads/polishes to refine the finish. And used Collinite and Swissvax waxes. How do you rate Swissvax, Zymol and GTechniq against each other, in terms of application/removal and the finish they leave?

Swissvax for the wheels - no contest
Zymol for the body - wet look finish is awesome
GTechniq for body - if you want dirt / water to just fall off but lot less of a wet look - drying is so easy - no swirls

I think this could keep going on so didn't want to hi-jack this thread - PM sent with rest of info

Enzo,
When I'm looking to change I will give you the nod mate....but not yet..!! I have to start on body and wheel prep soon, I currently use Autoglym Wax and Hi Def Wax, but I am also looking at Swissvax as an option for the future..!!
Cheers

worth ago was trying to get rid of my rims - too bling for me


Swissvax for the wheels, Zymol for the bodywork - you will see a difference switching from Autoglym

 

[hodroyd]

What rims have you got that are too bling..??

 

[BennyD]

Enzo, just get them re-finished in the colour of your choice; gunmetal or mercury looks good with black.

It really is gorgeous, agreed.

Also agree re Swissvax for the wheels. Not cheap and a bit of a fiddle to apply but really good. Anyone know roughly how long it lasts, by the way?

 

[hodroyd]

Thanks Chaps..!!

I didn't want to lower the tone but I guess I have to;






The Tridents will be staying on until after the Modena trip, possibly longer but the stripes will be staying.
