    Black/Gold Clio V6 Enhancement finished with Swissvax Best of Show

    Quick write up of a recent enhancement on a Black/Gold Clio V6 I did for a good friend of mine, not many pictures of the wash & cleansing stage but usual safe practice was implemented.

    Pre washed with VP Citrus
    Foamed with Megs Hyper Wash
    2 Bucket with Poorboys super slick & suds
    Dried with CG wooly mammoth with Megs last touch
    Clayed with Wolfs Chemicals fine and Megs last touch as lube

    Wheels and tyres were left due to being refurbed!

    Here is the polishing stages completed with Scholl S17/ 3M polishing pad via Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary with before picture wipe downs using CP Eraser!







    Nice bit of etching





    Etching removed





    Gloss and clarity improved on the wing



    Roof





    Spoiler





    Passenger door







    Best of Show curing



    Finally some finished shots

























    Thanks for looking

    Regards
    John

    Saw some of these on fb, you've saved Fred from himself with thinking that the vee needed paint, great turnaround and shows what can be rescued with the right products and skill

    I've know Fred best part of 10 years so he knew it was in good hands, he is terrible now looking out the corner of his eye if someone gets close to it in the unit....

    Best of Show is a good choice for cars that predominantly spend time indoors, had it been a daily driver I'd of gone down the Divine route!

    I'd now say this is probably one of the best and most original RS Clio V6's in the UK now and will be even better once its wheel refurb has been completed.

    Thanks
    John

    Or once it's actually finished? We always believed his future son would inherit the task of finishing it.

    He's a good man.

    Do you run a detailing business, John? Supporter on DW?

    I might have went for Shield under Bos if it was an everyday car. Or maybe even Z2/Bos.

    Solid Reds and Blacks go hand in hand with Bos

    I'm pretty sure once the wheels are refurbed that's it finished unless the throttle bodies come back out!

    Z2 is an awesome product very good for daily driver! I haven't noticed a big difference in terms of durability between Shield & BOS, where as Divine is a big step up ;-)...

    I must say i'm surprised at both comments. First off that Fred actually cares about paintwork and you think Bos is similar to Shield in durability stakes.

    I've only had the pleasure of using Divine once as a sample. Really needs the packaging to make it special.

    My car wears C1. I've forgotten what durability is now. Be weird to start waxing again!
