Sun is out time for a clean
So today I am trialing 2 japanese products from soft99 suplied by http://www.nipponshine.com/ firstly Kiwami premium wax followed by king of gloss a superior sealant. Gave the car a thorough wash followed by a base coat of poorboys black hole, buffed this off and applied a coat of kiwami wax let it dry for 15 mins and buffed off, then I applied the king of gloss sealant again let it dry for 15 mins then buffed off the shine was amazing. Very pleased with the results as you will see below. Both products come in light or dark options so suit all colours and are resonably priced at around £20 per tin. My motor is in Java black and is 10 yrs old and look like new again.

Very impressive shine, did you do it by hand or with a machine polisher?
