A bit of love!

Had a free afternoon so decided it was time to finally give the VR a bit of attention, it hasn't been polished in well over a year, just added sealant and wax when needed.

So started of with the foam and wash. Also clayed it but there was next to nothing on the paint.





Then taped up



Then went over with the Dodo Juice lime prime to bring back the depth and shine to the paint.







Followed that up with 2 coats of Jetseal 109 and a coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural, will add another layer of wax after the next wash.











Now just need to repolish the alloys, exhaust, treat all the leather!

What was the bit of tape on the rear quarter? What kind of masking tape do you use Luke?

I use the 3M 3434 tape, quite expensive but very good. The tape on the quarter is to get a comparison before and after polishing so you can see the improvement

eg.



Neil - I get my stuff mainly mail order from a few places, these are a few good ones:
