not at all. the car is not a daily driver. apart from that if the correct wash method is used the look is easily maintained.

it's not just about "shine". but then with a comment like this there's no point trying to explain the differences as you wouldn't understand them or know what to look for.

cracking finish you acheived there. nope no jeffs. although jeffs products are among my favourites for the reason that can be seen in your pic.

stineal

Maybe not from a distance, but up close the difference is amazing.

It's my car in the original pics in this thread and I was quite proud of the condition I have kept the car in, but as said before, up close the finish on the car now is so much better than before Matts did his stuff.

Cheers Fozzy. I was wondering why it needed doing when i got there and you pulled the car out of the garage. but i was so pleased with the results. Plenty of pics from Mencap Rally at the weekend please

good work Matt (as always)

i know how well fozzie keeps his car, so for him to praise the finish further than his own acheivements, i'm sure its something special.

keep up the hard work

Would have liked to see the difference in shine the polish/glaze/wax made pics after each step, ppl rarely do this-gives you a more representative view of what each product does/shows if its worth it.

My guess would have been blackfire also like a few others,seen simular results from zaino but on a black car still think ya could match or at least be very very close to it with blackfire wet diamond all finish paint protection on its own without wax after menzerna without the expense.

Just an opinion

Vanilla moose glaze & Vic Concours?

Didn't have the time to take all the individual pics i'm afraid. I don't have the luxury of more than one day. Plus it was bucketing it down all day I know what you mean though. it is nice to see the progress at each stage.

zaino products are very good. not my favourite but i do like them. re the black fire, I'll try and do a comparison at some point. yes it will be hard to tell the difference in a picture. it's the actual thing you'll need to look at to be able to see any noticeable difference.

nope. keep guessing

Sorry for the delay; first time on here in the best part of two weeks, soooo busy just now it's nuts. Okay, time for me to embarrass myself! I see you've given away the use of Intensive Polish, and left the bottle in one of the shots (!), so that's the correction sorted. The intensity of shine looks very similar to me to what can be achieved with Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze. To lock this in and get the ultra shiny finish seen in the piccies, I would then have followed this up with Menzerna FMJ. Here are some example piccies to show what I mean...

IP then FTG (no last step product yet)...



With FMJ over the top (note that cloud had come in)...



That's my official guess!

ok will let you all in on it. it's actually menz pgc mixed with menz rd3.02. then menz final finish II followed up with poorboys black hole with a zym*l carbon wax over the top. have used this combo several times now and is giving consistent cracking results.

cracking pics of the seat rich, looks so wet nd sharp at the same time.

Bugger! Oh well, did my best! Nice combo, I'm liking Black Hole too, it's a great glaze and one that Poorboys should have launched years ago.

I think most of the look was produced with the machine polishing, to which it looks like you have done a very good job. I would have been with the others and said blackfire or jeff's, but i would have been way off.

For the guys leaving negative comments, you have obviously never had your car detailed and the difference it makes to your car is huge. Look at any of the polished bliss write ups and tell me its not worth it.
