....it sure looks great! If my car wasn't going to spend the next week in the garage, I wouldn't have bothered doing this. But with some nice weather for the next few days and a new jar of Dodo Juice Purple Haze calling to me from the cabinet, I had to do something. As this car is mine, it has been washed properly since day one, it is showing virtually NO signs of swirling and thus, needs no correction. This was basically a strip and protect job.

Process:

Wash using Dawn to strip old sealant
CG Grime Reaper (8:1) used on wheel arches
Clay using Griot's Clay and Speed Shine
One coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond allowed to cure for 45 minutes
One coat of Dodo Juice Purple Haze applied 24 hours after sealant
Wheel arches dressed with Griot's Undercarriage Dressing
Tires dressed with Griot's Tire Dressing
Black plastic trim protected with 303 Aerospace Protectant
Interior was cleaned up but I didn't bother taking pictures of that.

I don't know why but Photobucket has been making my pictures look a LOT lighter than they actually are so these don't really do it justice. Trust me...the car looks amazing in person.

 

Looks great Andrew, think the Dodo would bring even more of the blue flake out of the NBP??? So you would wash, seal with 4* UPP, wait 24 hrs then do Dodo??? I will still need correction in July but wax maybe has a life of 3 months anyway so this would be spring cleaning until summer time correction 3 months may just be optimism on my part I don't have much experience with wax, just the sealant, looking forward to seeing the results when ever we choose to schedule TL-S, maybe sometime next month???

 

Never hopeless... always in your mind you know you did it ... looks great.
