smstext · 01-08-2007, 22:57

good result, autoglym does seem to do a nice job!!

irin · 02-08-2007, 05:32

It is first time when I'm pleased with the autoglym SRP
Will see how long it last when is done right (sealed , waxed)

irin · 09-09-2007, 09:57

2 foto with the car after the trip
I haved polished but it is a quick job and not fully removed the insects becase it will be the same after Prague trip!
Any sugestion please for this , I used the autoglym tar and insect remover ,
probably have to insist more !

smstext · 09-09-2007, 16:49

i found a good thick coat of collanate 476 (think thats the one) over the front, insects hit it and eventually full off as they soak up the wax

the insect spray you mention above is excellent on the windscreen too

irin · 09-09-2007, 18:33

The car used to have sealant and wax but I have to wash it abroad and went in a garage

I am steel regret that because I fond few schraches and they cleaned the car with some chemical foam which put away all my work of polishing.

Better leve the dirt on until arrive home and clean it yourself

smstext · 09-09-2007, 20:07

as the old saying says "if you want a job done proper, then do it yourself"

P2M · 10-09-2007, 13:27

Your car Irin, as well as Tiger´s and others looks so nice when cleaned - even if I spend the entire day (I like to wash our cars, it´s a kind of relax for me) it looks not as good as yours.
Made a mistake and got the car detailed(?) two years ago. Now have the swirls and "holograms" made by machine polisher on it and cannot find anybody who could sort it out - nobody here is able to make the work comparable to what detailing companies in the UK achieve...

devonutopia · 10-09-2007, 13:48

The Felicia is going to be in a right state, but the point of it is not cleanliness, but the actual new paintwork.

Looking good Irin - especially for Autoglym that I don't use on my paintwork - just for glass and metals.
