AutoFinesse Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 This car was booked in to get some protection from all that winter motoring can throw at a vehicle, its only use as a weekend car but still was in a bit of a state for a 08 especially the amount of bonded contamination :tumbleweed: On arrival: After claying half the bonnet: finished Pics, using Dodo juice Super Natural wax :thumb: As always thanks for looking, all comments and questions on techniques and products use are more than welcome.

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Excellent work - customer must be chuffed with that! Surprised how well Lime Prime removed those swirls. Does LP contain fillers? I see you applied SNV2 - How is durability compared to the V1 Supernatural? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFinesse Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks for the comment, Lime prime contains abrasives alittle harsher than a finishing polish and i little mileder than a medium cut polish, its very good for just a enhancing pass to remove a few swirls and bring up some gloss on the harder paint types, It dose contain oils so they would mask/fill some swirling but not fillers as such that would hide swirls, what you see in those pics is what you get. V2 im loving at the moment its doing very well on my own van and familty members cars, it stood the 2 month mark so far and still going, and on the van it lasted 14 washes what would equate to over 3 months, so for a "natural" product durability is very very good.

steelwind101 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nice work! Im sure we saw a similar combo somewhere before lol! They do a lime prime LITE which is with out the abbrasives, i got the original when it came out it did marr the soft Honda paint work on the Jazz. Maybe more of one off as it is very soft.

AutoFinesse Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Like i say LP is more suited to the harder paint types, LP Lite is better on the soft/medium paint, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Like i say LP is more suited to the harder paint types, LP Lite is better on the soft/medium paint, How do you know which is which?.. is it just experience :confused:? I want to Zymol my Q7 and I have HD Cleanse but i'm not sure whether or not to clay it first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yes is the answer to claying! It will make a big difference. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks geoff, So wash, clay, HD-Cleanse and wax? Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks geoff,So wash, clay, HD-Cleanse and wax? Is that correct? Thats the process! You may find that after claying the car has some "stains" from the clay lube, its a good idea if this is the case to wash the residue away. Sometimes this means washing using the 2 bucket method, some times just a hosing off sorts the problem. The residue is just clay lube so nothing to bad!
