For the benefit of LD really
Here is mine after Francis had worked his magic. Not sure it shows what you want
What I do know however is cleaning is now an absolute doddle and the car looks fantastic afterwards. I wish someone had told me about those drying towels before 
TonyV12V has also had it done 
Note these pics are pre "pheasantgate"

Did you do this yourself Nick or have a company do it for you?
If so, whereabouts and (if you don't mind me asking) for how much.
That's a really good finish on the black.
Francis (paddy328) did it. He is mobile but gets really grumpy if he has to work outside If so, whereabouts and (if you don't mind me asking) for how much.

. You need to ask him about a price as he "owed me one" after dropping a gazebo on it last year at Hever Whilst on the subject of cleaning does anyone know the ABSOLUTE TRUTH about cleaning products and Carbon Ceramic Brakes

Nick, car looks good 
I've just bought all the car cleaning products paddy recommended. Pic of mine when detailed by paddy. Shame it got dirty so quickly afterwards
It's a car, they get dirty and pebbledashed if you drive them I've just bought all the car cleaning products paddy recommended. Pic of mine when detailed by paddy. Shame it got dirty so quickly afterwards
Currently I have a choice between dirty, or the polish gritty sponge swirl effect. The swirls can be hidden a bit with wax, but waxing is a giant PITA.
Paddy, is there somewhere in London I can take my car so it's indoors and you can work on it? I don't have a garage.
Nick, your idea of what to do with your time off is rubbish!

Both my roadsters had a Paddy style do when I got them.
The S has just rolled over 10k miles in 18 months from new.
A quick pressure wash brings it up like new
Here's what I do when I collect them;
Snow foam
Wash with microfibre mitt and washing up liquid (removes old waxes & sealants)
Rinse
Clay bar
Rinse & dry
Poorboys SSR 2.5 Super Swirl Remover polish/mild cutting agent
Clearkote Vanilla Mouse glaze
Poorboys EXP selant
Some PS21S Carnuaba wax if I'm feeling OCD
2 coats of Collinite 845 insulator wax on inside & outside of alloys & calipers
All I’ve ever done on the S in that 10k miles is pressure wash the majority off
Microfibre mitt to wash it
Pressure washer to rinse it
Microfibre to dry it
I've used this No Rinse stuff occasionally but was not that impressed

Ventureshield & Chipex sort out the stone chips
Well pleased with how good it looks after 10k miles

Yes it is, but a different type of coating. 22ple is a glass coating and you only need one layer. For the new version of exo, you still need two coats.
Paddy, I haven't availed myself of your services yet but would be really keen to achieve the kind of finish you have with Nicks DBS.Could you PM me what the approximate cost would be to come up to Nottinghamshire to apply this to my DB9V.
Many Thanks
David
