Looking stunning, I always found the black cars I had in the past a complete bugger to keep looking half as good as this!

Lovely result mate!

I have just splashed out on a load of cleaning stuff, would be happy if I got half of that finish!

What does the dodo juice red mist do btw?

Thanks. Red Mist is like a quick detailer, removes surface dust etc between washes and deepens existing shine. Good stuff.

Yeah a week later and it needs a wipe over. But with a decent base of wax it's a lot easier to keep clean.

Ah right, handy. How often do you apply that then?
Assuming car is washed every weekend, that would be once every midweek?

How annoying is that? Car is mint after a claying, then week later dust/etc makes it filthy, without actually being filthy if you know what I mean

grrrrr black cars

Yeah I know what you mean. Dust shows up well on the surface of dark cars but underneath the wax it's spotless. That's the trouble with black cars...look the best when clean, but only stays clean for a day.

I apply it after a quick wash when the paint is cool and dry. As long as the base wax is still good then it has the effect of looking like you just spent 8hrs detailing it!
