Foam the car start with using snow foam. Cleaned wheels as the mud drained off using megs wheel cleaner.Rinsed car. I also cleaned the door shuts and petrol cap and wheels arches with megs apc and rinsed them afterwards.Then foam it again and wash it using 2 bucket method using Poorboys Super Slick & Suds.Rinsed down again. i then clayed the car using megs last touch and megs mild detailing clay bar. I then foamed and rinsed the car and then dried it using poorboys waffle weave towel.

At this point i cleaned the interior using vacuum,poorboys trim restorer and megs glass cleaner. At this point i put poorboys wheel sealant on and dressed the tryes with poorboys bold and bright would use blackfire but had none left.

Next i put poorboys blackhole over the body work and removed using poorboys super thick & plush towel. I then put on some poorboys natty blue paste that i had (using up old stock that i have found) and buffed off with same as before thick and plush towels. Went over all plastics with micofibre work towel and poorboys trim restorer.

Both systems look awesome on mid tone blues; check this link out to see examples of both finishes and decide for yourself...

I would say go for the Werkstat if you want a sharper, more reflective look that will show off the flake a bit more, or else stick with the current if you favour maximum wetness and gloss.

Thumbs up

I have tried both & they do exactly what PB say below.
Have stuck with Werkstat Acrylic as I find it lasts longer & you can top up after a wash with the Glos.
