Megane R26R

[Danith]

Textbook. Still can't believe how much they go for though! Mental

 

[JamesBryan]

Any shots under a direct light source so we can see the level of correction?

Looks good though.

Looks great. Getting dirty already I see.
Black cars are rewarding to clean and you actually see the results. This was by hand on my Audi -

 

[Ant1]

Yes dust on the paint within a few minutes of collecting, rain drops after washing which you can see lol.

 

[Silent_Scone]

R FK, it's like a mirror

I used his torch when I collected but no photo. It's pretty damn good tbh, not 100% corrected but not far off. Perfect for me.

 

[Mr R.]

The number plate it was makes it mate. [emoji41] [emoji23]

I did a double take on that one lol. "Why's he taking a pic of his drive way?"

 

[Ant1]

You could of told me that three weeks ago :tonguewink:

Do you know if he has thought about a price?

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol no mate, I heard third person as don't really speak to him much anymore, but thought it pertinent to mention as it is a good one! Not sure on mileage, though

If you hear anything let us know!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Such an awesome looking car that. Looks perfect with the red wheels.

 

[Ant1]

Gutted, genuinely gutted.

Please don't question the method of cleaning as I use all the right kit.

Have to take the car back now so he can look at it.

Not having a lot of luck, paint issues on the M5, cracked windscreen on the megane today and now this.

 

[leedsboy]

Jesus, what have you washed it with, a scouring pad?

Genuinely though, how can it be that bad for just a wash?!

 

[Clio_fool]

Ouch, that didn't last long at all. Has it only happened on the bumper?

 

[Ant1]

Every panel.

AF snow foam pre wash
2x gtech mits
2x grit buckets
2x AF towels

 

[JamesBryan]

No way should it swirl that easy with Crystal Serum and Exo applied...

 

[c4pob]

Bugger.

 

[Ant1]

Something's sure not right. Guess it's going to be a waiting game. Coatings have 100% been applied going by how the water sheets off.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Ant, having known someone who does this for a living in the past and on various cars (including a Black 225), the Megane paint is soft as f**k. Honestly, unbelievably so on some of them.

So this is caused by simply washing the car?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

That alone would make me sell it.

No idea mate. Just thought it might be pertinent to say. It really shouldn't do! The protection alone should help discourage it.

Black is a b*****d.

 

[Duck Hunt]

if the paint is soft as ,its a total waste of money having it detailed .

 

[Ant1]

Should of kept the M5......

 

[Stay Puft]

Still, even without any protection, surely it shouldnt be that easy to swirl?

 

[JamesBryan]

I'd also say that just because the coating has been applied and the water is sheeting off, doesn't mean it's fully cured properly. Needs to be in a heated room iirc.

Black gold is normally hard as f**k too as with most Renault paints.

Was in a heated room for four days :-( When he started the correction he commented a few times on how soft the paint was.

Well, that doesn't look so hard to me!


Bloody Renaults. Don't know what to suggest Ant TBH, see what he says :/
