Looks mint coop... I have a black one too and wish I had decent enough weather to clean mine too. Looks soooo much better when clean.
Cheers mate, couldnt agree more, they look great when washed, then about 10mins later they look bad again
Hopefully attacking it with a machine polisher soon
I keep thinking about getting a polisher too - but keep chickening out in case I absolutely mess it up!!! For now the Dodo Juice wax will be fine for me

Its on, spending a day on it tomorrow with a mate, ill post pics of the result!
So today I decided it was time to sort out the paint which had virtually no protection on at all. It was rough, dull and covered in swirls.
My mate Dale came round and we cracked on with correcting the paint finish.
The car had already been snow foamed and wash the day before so we wacked it in the garage and began to clay it all over
The bonnet was pretty bad
But the roof was totally shocking! It got so much off, paint felt much much smoother after.
Two stage polish, first was megs scratch x, second was merenza power finish.
Attempted to show the difference but it was so hard to capture. Left side has been treated, right is un-touched. Many more scratches on the right
Dale working hard. Really slacked on the progress pictures after this. But we finished up by applying sealant then wax and treating the windows, tyres, engine bay etc.
Much deeper shine to the paint now, and lots of the scratches and swirls have been removed.
The finished article!
Nice and glossy finish.
More reflective shots.

Love the reflections in this one!
Dales VXR looking sexy
Final shot of it finished in the garage.
Then decided to take it out for a few artsy shots, so here they are:
And one last reflection shot:
Im really pleased with it, the paint is much better protected now, less swirls and looks great in the daylight. Good days work!
Thanks for looking, Coops.
Thats awesome coops. Looks absolutely fantastic. Cant believe how refelective the paintwork is... Shame that by the time you got home it was dirty again
Looks nice mate, exactly why black is the best colour
Best colour for about 10mins until its dirty again, then its the worst!

Might need to ask my mate about that
I think it was something from Chemical Boys? He said it was about £30 for the pot
Be good if you could let me know mate. I've never used a sealant before????
So do you just use the sealant between polishing and waxing?

Quality stuff! After the sealant we used Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub, and applied it to the whole car by hand
