Well, all being well my car is being sold on Tuesday.

Valeted it today with the Zymol "Subaru" wax. I bought it with the car, and there's more than half left!



Don't worry, not I'm not leaving scoobydom

Brun

Jeepers, now there's a shine and a half.
Fancy a go at mine?

chiark

It is easy to get the car looking that good - I'm from around your way so will give you a hand if you want... I just had to post a photo though, as the results are *stunning*. I hope the new owner's pleased

Brun

I'm an Auto Glym boy which is probably my downfall.
<mental note> I must buy some top notch polishing gear.
I have a common Impreza owners problem I get the evil voices which whisper, Defi, Ecutek to name a couple. Unfortunately power seems to win over shine

chiark

I hear those voices, but my wife tells me not to

Given that a single pot of wax has lasted me over 3 years regular use now, I'm converted . The next owner has Big Plans for power, I think. I'll be gutted if/when he breaks the 300bhp mark with "my" car

STi8?
Whatever it is, I hope it's a Dutch import

gregh

I hope he's picking it up at yours, wouldn't want to take it out and get it dirty after all that effort

You'll need to do the new one ASAP as nothing beats the Wizards shine

and the fact that TSL is in the "countryside" wont help

chiark

Nope, it's a reflection

I never used a wax on any car I've owned, so what's the main difference between say Autoglym polish and Zymol Wax, apart from the shine?

Do you use it the same way as a polish? Wash the Scoob and then just wax and buff off?

Thanks

Don't get either!!

Get Swissol instead from the Wax Wizard, Mark Underwood!!

YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.

Wax is just that - it's a wax, not a polish. I'm trying to think of what it's like, and the best way to describe it is a soft paste.

This stuff was actually made by Mark Underwood (Wax Wizard) over three years ago; I'd recommend his stuff from my own experience.

A polish tries to cleanse and enrich paint at the same time. This system cleanses using a cleaner (only once about 6 months) then enriches the paint with a wax (about once a month/fortnight/however you feel...)

It's really dead easy to use

Has she gone

Nathan..

chiark

'tis gone

Still, the owner (and his family ) are happy . It's really nice to know that it's going to someone who's been after just this car for a while now

chiark

erm, can u say "chesire cat?"

carl

Where's your MY03 Wagon coming from? Not Gertjan again?

chiark

Nope - crossroads garage, treddington. Yes, a UK subaru dealer. They were willing to cut a deal, and with the exchange rate as it is, I hate to say that importing wasn't worth it...

carl

Have you told the importingimprezas list?

[I know what you mean about the exchange rate -- looks like we got away with it as we picked up my wife's Pug CC in December, but I've heard of someone who saved only £200 on a £10k car ]

Nathan L

At least she's gone to a good home

I always miss cars when I've just sold them

Until the new one arrives

chiark

Tell me about it! I was on the bus this morning, sitting next to someone who really ought to do something about their personal hygiene. Still, only two more days of that...

David_Wallis

now you understand why I use taxi's.. I dont like putting people off the bus
