Thanks guys
I always put money in perspective and the work above was less than 2% of the cars price. Seeing I obtained around 12% discount when bought new I figured that it was a no brainer.
PS Man maths applied

Yes snow foam takes most of the dirt off followed by the 2 bucket method washed over with pure water using this item

Leave to dry with no water marks
So easy to clean as tbh most dirt dosn't stick to it anyway so complete wash done in less than 1hr
What snow foam do you use as their effectiveness seem to vary widely?bigknd wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 9:19 amYes snow foam takes most of the dirt off followed by the 2 bucket method washed over with pure water using this item

Reasonably priced and effective (Also PH neutral which is important)

I’ve been following a similar discussion on Pistonheads and one thing I hadn’t appreciated was the maintenance and cleaning aspect once PPF is applied.
As Bigknd notes above, its quite a simple process to maintain that ‘just detailed’ finish. What was pointed out in the other thread was that the modern PPF with its healing capability (apply heat to restore to as new finish) effectively eliminates the dreaded swirls and scratches from washing/drying the car.
Having looked closely at bigknd link and looking at the finished job, the man maths makes a whole lot of sense for something this special, especially if linked to long term ownership.

Storm Grey V6 coupe, fun, fast, popping and crackling with smiles all the way ... missed more than I expected!

C43 AMG estate, lots of toys, like the F-Type but with 4 seats and far more stealthy but still with pops and crackles!

Absolutly, I had a stone mark on the front valance but when I looked later in the day the sun had healed the ppf and couldn't even see where it was Bloody good stuff and not at all like the stuff I had on my Impreza back in 2006!Senninha wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 9:34 pm I’ve been following a similar discussion on Pistonheads and one thing I hadn’t appreciated was the maintenance and cleaning aspect once PPF is applied.
