Hi Gary,

I bought both C1 & EXO in 50ml bottles, together they cost £95. EXO from Amazon & C1 from IODetail. I used about 60% of the C1 & about 75% of the EXO. The C1 has a 3 month shelf life once open apparently, so I should have applied either a more liberal coating or a second coat I think.

I used a Guild DA polisher I bought on offer a few years ago from Argo for £30. Seem to work well enough, better than the Silverline orbital one I had which I was always worried I'd burn the paint with.

I used a Orange Quantum Hex Logic PAD as the paint wasn't that bad, just needed prep for the C1 really.

I do like the snow foam spray. makes a lovely well snowy mess but I only use it as a prewash. I bought THIS a while back which is good quality & works well, decent price at the moment with the voucher at £15.39 for prime members too.

I could probably have done a better job if I'd taken more time.

I'll post a few more pictures once the car has got wet, dirty etc.

Cheers n Gone Nick

Hi

Many thks and very grateful for the links

This is the polisher I got https://www.flex-tools.com/en/products/pxe-80-108-ec25-p-set-2/, was also worried I would burn the paint so the polisher has small to max 75mm polishing pads, hardest bit I found was what the different coloured pads meant

Seems manufacturers use different colours, must admit I always thought it was like a universal thing to use the the same colour for a particular cleaning process, as been trying to find a chart but alas haven’t found one yet what shows what colour should be used for what job

Pic of the of using that meguires black polish for the trim

Next job will be to replace the waist window trims, have read there’s some screws inside holding them on, alas haven’t looked yet , also the external B and C trims have faded , would like to either replace them if possible or spray them , have got 4 x of the waist trims and just need to get round replacing them

Must also add that a kind member done a full clean of the disco a few years back for me , was so grateful to him

Thks again nick for the awesome info

Those both look great, I really must look into the pro stuff a bit more.

Not going to post any pictures of mine, as its shamed in such glistening company

Its still got half of cumbria splattered up the sides of it from a recent trip (not even from green laneing it)

Realy must get round to fitting those mudflaps!

Hiya

Good thing I like about the disco is they look awesome both clean and full of mud

Same here ref mudflaps, Recently got some rock sliders fitted so going to get a pair of defender rubber ones for the back , don’t know if front mud flaps will fit with the sliders on

Many thks
