Default Crystal Grey Reflections

Some reflections from my Crystal Grey STI. Achieved by hand, using Swissvax products.








Comments welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Colin

Car looks well mate. If you fancy a change Dodo Banana Armour is the nuts on Crystal Grey. I use Best of Show but rate the Dodo as highly.

That's not a bad level of reflectivity for a wax finish on silver! Question is, will you be tempted by the dark side (i.e. Jeffs?)!!!

Looks great Colin

I use Swissvax myself on WR Blue and my VW van and having tried out Jeffs products I wasn`t that impressed I went straight back to Swissvax. Not that the Jeffs was bad in any way, my eye just prefers the Swissvax look, ease of use and durability

Cheers mate.

I would agree with this, its so easy to use, the results are instant and it protects well. What more do you want?

What wax did you use mate? Im an authorised swissvax detailer, but dont tell anyone, i think silver/white colour cars work best with a sealant such as jeffs or zaino. Saying that, best of show looks mint too.

I used Saphir but was thinking of buying Best of Show. PB will have the car in August and I think I will get them to try Jeffs (with a twisting of my arm from Rich no doubt! ).

Best of show is probably the best pound for pound wax out there, though if clarke is going to be detailing your car, i'd go with what they think is best. Your car is going to look stunning by the time they have finished with it.

Great job, Colin. My dad has just started using Jeff's on his silver motor and won't go back!! I'm sure it'll perform equally well on crystal grey

All the Best

Mike
