The big question what products and give us some ideas about the whole procedure from the wash through to the LSP. A list of products, times and chemicals would be of interest too!

Cheers for the comments. Have some pics somewhere of a p'headers red nsx with the same combo. cracking results on red too. I don't mind people knowing the combo. Just want them to work for it lol.

who do you post as on snet?

Mother's stuff is cracking. I tried some of the Reflections Advanced Top Coat and was hooked. Ended up being a supplier of the range lol.

Not a registered user on SNet but a client is and we just finished his WRX Saturday. He mentioned your post.

Have used Mother's for a long time and even using other stuff seem to come back to it over and over. We also stock and supply Mother's. Do you deal with Richard at Crystal Clean?

Ah, who's car was that. Any pics? Partial to a detailed Scoob, sad i know :lol1:

I love the smell of the showtime detailer. reminds me of the fireball bubble gum from when i was a kid lol. for the price of the mother's stuff i think the quality is superb.

Yeah, need to give him a call actually as running low on some things.

Why the secret lsp? It's either a wax or sealant.
First time i've seen a post from a part time detailer not sharing info.
We all know it's in the prep, so come on spill the beans!

They weren't in bad condition to be fair but now they have wheels sealant on them they should be much better.....

Used 3M Perfect-it II for the first time on this one and the results were excellent....Usually go with Menzerna but we were having issues with it being hard to remove for some reason. Totally one off as Menz is what we tend to use...weird....so we switched to the 3M stuff and found it worked quicker and left easily as equal if not better finish. All topped with Dodo.

Nice one Matthew, I finish my TVR off with Mothers Top Coat Reflections, gives a fantastic wet look on top off P21s. Must have a look at the Black Hole, read a few people threads on Detailing World praising it. Stunning side reflection you captured.

I've been impressed with that black hole as well and the white diamond for lighter cars
