Ruby in the Sun

Post by Nick177 » Mon May 13, 2019 7:16 pm

Beautiful sunny day. Time to get the polish’s out. My car has a few swirl marks which annoy my ocd.
I started with Poorboys Blackhole Show Glaze which basically hides a lot of swirl marks.It does a nice job.
Then I used Autoglym High Definition Autowax which I purchased at great expense from Halfords. It’s actually very good, easy to put on and needs a bit of elbow grease to remove.i’m pleased With the result. Not up to White Detail standard but good enough for me.
