Re: First Fill

Re: First wash...

That’s a new puzzle John. Just checked my BB which has the same level of sparkle (brilliant in this weather) in the finish as the Crystal White, but can see no signs of any plain base coat. Anyone else seen this basecoat feature? I've treated all my paintwork and can't say I've noticed either (I'd ...

Re: First wash...

I'll check Mrs S's car when she gets home on the door shuts etc, but cannot say that I've noticed it when washing ...... Agree with the sparkle (it's fantastic), however the sparkle currently overshadowed by the two dents that I now have in the bonnet from something being thrown-up whilst on motorw...

Re: One owners view...

I'm guessing that's what Andy meant - I certainly see it then. They are fatter because the system is putting coloured lines on one or both sides of the same section of road at times to indicate queues - yellow, red etc. to show severity. So the map road width expands! I personally don't like the me...

Re: First wash...

The way to avoid the white blotchy roof is use a kartcher window vac ( other makes are available) after rinsing and don't leather off apart from the odd areas it won't reach. It's a brilliant piece of kit. That's a really good call, John. Hadn't thought on a window kartcher on the roof. There is no...
