A quick tidy up and another coat of Zymol Concours

Process:
Alloys required a weak solution of Megs WB and tyres dressed with PB B+B.
Then it was foamed down using AB lance with DW snowfoam and a pump of Megs hyperwash. Rinsed then PB slick and suds was applied via lambswool mitt. Rinsed the dried with PB WW towel aided with Megs last touch.

Out with the concours.
This was buffed off using PB MFs and then a final buff with Zymol field glaze.

Looks fantastic, good choice of product, would like to give the snowfoam a go.

Tryed the new raved about 'Dodo Juice' wax a month ago (after wash, claying and polishing), and been very impressed, really lasted well during this bad weather we've had.

Re: A quick tidy up and another coat of Zymol Concours

Nice work, looking good. Anyone fancy coming to clean and polish my Alfa. It desperatly needs it but just haven't had time recently. Needs the full works, clay bar etc.....including a respray to the front bumper which has been mullered by stone cheaps and a "not so smart" repair.

Re: A quick tidy up and another coat of Zymol Concours

believe it or not the best thing to use to wash your wheels is brick cleaner. when i wash mine i take the wheels off and apply brick cleaner to them leave for a minute then rinse off and they come up amazing! the brick cleaner takes off all of the brake dust inside the rim no matter how stuck on it is. i wouldnt leave it on too lon because that might dmage the laquer but if you do it quickly they are fine

Isn't brick cleaner basically an acid, not recommended for long term use.
