No worries mate, drop me a PM when you are ready and we can tee up a time.

I use Dodo Juice Diamond White on my car and it's sensational. I've also got Dodo Juice Light Fantastic. The Light Fantastic (soft wax) is easier to apply and work with and is a slightly crisper shine, but doesn't last as long as the Diamond White (hard wax). Both are for light coloured cars (mine is Ti Silver).

[TWD]

Exactly what BMWRX said - Diamond White is a great product and specially designed for light coloured cars.

Thanks guys

Dodo Juice Blue Velvet with a second coat of Supernatural Hybrid for durability works fantasic on dark colours...

I wish I knew about Dodo Carwash before I bought 2 x 2L Meguiars car wash!

Any tips on products to clean stainless steel exhaust tips?

Meguiars Car Wash is good, but per wash cost is very expensive!

For your exhausts, ask Rey, he's an expert

I used bicarb soda and detergent to remove the mark on my tip as per Raj's recommendation.

With maintenance I just wash it with the car wash regularly.

I wonder if Aquawax will make your tip looks shiny ... ?

My Duragloss Car soap is running out, whats your recommendation Raj? Keep using Duragloss or should I try another product?

Car: 2001 BMW M3
Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction
Comments:
- Car had swirl marks and minor scratches all over the paint
- With the swirls & minor scratches gone, you could really see the depth in the Carbon Black paint and the clarity of the blue metallic flake in the black paint.
- The owner was given plenty of compliments after picking up the car. People couldn't believe it was a 10 years old.
- Unfortunately, no before photos as the car was given to me late one night in the rain. Fortunately, the car was delivered back to the client on a sunny morning.

Yep the bicarb soda, detergent and hot water solution does wonders for the exhausts!

Duragloss car wash is great, you can try others, just make sure they are pH neutral.

Thankyou
A great result or turnaround on an older car brings greater satisfaction than newer cars!
It's not easy and the fact that they are both black, we were VERY happy with the results

I think Tit has spoken to you about a weekend in Canberra? I'm listening...

[alik01]

How about a weekend in Darwin?

[Sherweeeny]

How about a weekend in my pants?

He has, but we still need to work out dates. It's pretty busy in Sydney with February already booked out and March and April filling up fast.

Sure, if we can get a few cars together. As I said above, it's hard to find to fit everyone in, here in Sydney, so interstate trips get pushed back.

LOL Sherv, unfortunately a service we don't provide...
