Wash and Brush up!

ALBEE · 04-02-2020, 06:21 AM

Decided to wash and polish the beast today!
Shine courtesy of Autogylm Resin polish.
has to be one of the easiest 'conventional' polishes to use!
Results below!
Any idea how to rotate photos?

That is a gorgeous colour.

Fez_7 · 04-02-2020, 07:12 AM

Great job, very shiny!

You've got me thinking now, I've got a navy F30 and considering the M Performance kit but not sure whether to go for gloss black or matte black. I've already got gloss black grills and boot spoiler but as the kit will be at the bottom of the car don't know whether to get gloss to match the rest or matte for a bit of contrast.

Also what's it like driving with the front splitter, have you scraped it anywhere yet and if so has it affected the paint?

APJ · 04-02-2020, 09:17 AM

Now all you need, is a nice sealant put on top of that polish, or wax if you are old school. it will enhance the gloss even more and beed for months to come. And a good sealant will only take 15/20 minutes to do the whole car

A couple of thin layers of Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection is good for several months.

robbiep · 04-02-2020, 03:20 PM

Looks lovely.

My F31 is filthy. Such is the entertainment of a 70 hour week last week !

Thewrench86 · 04-02-2020, 04:54 PM

Amazing results! Did u do this by hand or machine? Also did you seal it with anything special? I'm waiting for a clear weekend to do some paint correction. I'm a key worker so not getting the chance during the week. I've got super resin but I also purchased mcguirs 105 and 205. No sealant / wax yet so need some ideas.

scousefly · 04-03-2020, 02:15 PM

Some tyre protection though

Sorry being retentive

Awesome colour and wheel combo. Super tidy.

I do love San Marino Blue - always look great, but good job dude 👍

GOWRIN · 04-14-2020, 10:04 AM

Great job mate, love that colour!

Is that a full carbon fibre kit on there... any shots of the rear?

Omar.c · 04-14-2020, 10:36 AM

Looking great! Beautiful car

betty02 · 04-14-2020, 11:57 AM

Looks lovely does that! When I lived in Chorley I used to walk past one like this on my walks! Lovely colour and mods!

Think I'd stick to gloss, to match the spoiler etc. So far i haven't managed to hurt the carbon splitter yet! But will let you know!!

It was only done by hand, but honestly one of the easiest polishes to work with!
Any ideas on sealant/wax?

Thanks for the compliment!
C/F Front splitter, rear spoiler and exhaust tips, not sure what else you can get? All fitted before I purchased it!
+ a couple of rear pikkies!

Lovely car mate! I think the only carbon missing would be the mirror caps
