I must say Matt, that Aston Martin looks bloody fabulous.
 Tomorrow, if I get time when I come home, I WILL take a couple of pics to upload and let you see how bad poor Lucifa's paint has become

he will if there is enough paint on it and you don't screw him around
He'll tell ya to bugga off if you even look like wasting his time Not cheap price wise but if you pay peanuts you get monkeys so see it as an investment in your car, not just any old cut and polish

(have some annoying water marks, and paint is going a bit dull)

Hey Matt,
Just about to take delivery of a new XR5. You did my ST170 a little while ago, and keeping it in good knick got me an extra 1500 come trade in. Keeping up the appearance was good after buying some pinnacle products. Was wondering if getting a paint protection system applied to it by someone such as G-Techniq, or Toughseal via D and S or Spotless was a good idea, or I should just go down the protection route myself using the either of the above or the Glare system. Thanx Stephen |

Thanx Stephen Hey Stephen I work at Splash car wash cafe at the moment and we are the only authorised Gtechniq applicator it's the best stuff out there for super easy cleaning and you can build on top of it with Glare or any other products you like (just as long as they are not abrasive) Glare would be the next best thing to Gtechniq and can be applied yourself with just two products

As I said Matt, here are a few pics of poor Lucifa's paint
   I know you have told me before what to do and I HAVE been meaning to do so but, it's been one thing and another and of course, my apathy has caused the paint to get worse plus, I am a s**t painter. I have tried a couple of Meguairs products but to no avail. I am also terrified that if I do get a polisher and use it then ruin the pain I will be even more p****d off

I am also terrified that if I do get a polisher and use it then ruin the pain I will be even more p****d off Thanks George, some good and bad news for you Bad - rear spoiler needs sanding back and re clearing unless it's metallic which would mean sand back to bare and a repaint (for advice on this go and see nic and adam in arncliffe) Good - the rest of the car looks fine. just needs a dewaxing, clay block treatment and some TLC with some good products. make sure you seal the paint too. I am happy to help you out some when I come over to sydney around august - september time

Excellent results on the Aston Martin Matt. Good to hear your doing well.
Done the second coat of driven marine on the wagon last week and still looks a treat. Will be doing a third and final layer next month. Just another question, I can just apply another layer of prima amigo at any time cant I? Thanks. |
