Goin from jap to french i think would be a big step-going from jap to french on about a grands worth of car could be disastrous

Anyway bk on topic got the scooby done yesterday with the 2nd coat of einszett waxpolish soft(did it last wk with previous coat after washing)cars actually getting ready for a light polish then glaze before wax as ive got a few very fine swirls in places but nothing to bother me

only took these few pics as were out in it last night an theres some crap off next doors trees/bushes on it aswell-would have looked better if i`d av tooked the pics yesterday but were too busy.

Hi again mate tried both zymol japon and swissol/swissvax ,Swissol samurai wax at around £45 were best of the 2 for finish so went on to try best of show (@£120) me an a couple of mates bought some between us as i cant really justify the outlay to just "try" none of us could see where the extra money had gone in fact if im honest preferred the samurai wax,since then however have found better value/shine in lower priced stuff-may try some samurai again one day but for now im happy with the cheaper products as to be honest you cant always see the extra money in the shine of the higher priced stuff.

Tried einszett again then 2 coats of chemical guys "petes 53" last night with good results however still not a massive fan of the wax and once its gone wont be buying any more-decent wax but dont find it any better than other waxes around the same price to be honest, needs multiple coats for a great finish.

Will post a couple of pics at weekend after just a wash,though think they`ll be inconclusive to be honest,though whilst out last night just havin a spin round locally one of me mates spotted me(adam with black 205) an rang up sayin how much time ya put into that !!,So guess it must have looked ok.


Tim his mates got a blue saxo and has got the detailing bug if ya like and has already got some petes 53 wax so i popped home for the einszett stuff, met him later up town with a few other mates an gave him the einszett to try on his before petes 53 wax,if i see him whilst his cars clean will get a few pics sometime.

Almost forgot,took these last wk(pics arent great)water beadage on petes 53 wax-dont know how long petes53 would last protection wise though theres no doubt for the money its a quality wax.
