Yes it does, thats very easy to apply and bring to a shine and lasts for ages once its on details are HERE

I use THIS ONE as even on my lighter colour it produces almost wet look gloss finishes and I re-wax it every 2-3 months

Thanks for that Neil, all good advice gratefully accepted and appreciated. I'd like to maintain it correctly and keep the finish it has now for as long as possible.

Cheers

Spent the day having the car polished professionally again, and I have to say I'm very happy with the results. Went for a different finish this time, less clinical and more of a "wet look" which I think really shows of the colour.

Same place as last year, by a forum member who is doing detailing as a hobby. He's very busy so is obviously making a good go of it. He did a mates black S5 last weekend and did an awesome job on it. I enjoy watching and learning and got involved this time, it's a great skill to learn which fits perfectly with my obsession with cleaning the car

Cheers Brian

Keep it to yourself mind but I think Neil has arranged the annual meet for a weekend he knows I'm not available as he knows mine would put his to shame

I'm offering a clue by stating he bought a car from Ian, but I suppose that covers at least 50% of the forum members

I'll leave it to him as to whether he wants to reveal himself, all I can do is highly recommend his work
