JohnM 25 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 I have had the car now for 3 weeks and finally got round to giving the 86 a proper clean and wax. No before or during pictures but happy with the result. Products used are Gyeon Bathe + to clean. Clay barred and then Auto finesse Ultra Glaze to prep and then 2 coats of Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid wax. Wheels cleaned with Auto Finesse wheel cleaner and finished off with Auto Finesse mint rims and Chemical Guys Tyre Dressing to complete. Class cleaned with Gyeon Prep and then finished off with Auto Finesse Vision. 1 Angelina reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_t 184 Report post Posted April 3, 2019 Looking good! White is hard to show off in pictures but that looks like a good effort What do you think of the gyeon bathe+? keep thinking of trying some of their stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
br0wny 27 Report post Posted April 3, 2019 looks good but... no decon stages? and why wash with gyeon bathe+ then use a wax with carnauba in? would have been better to use gyeon cancoat after the bathe+ and skip out the glaze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before I gave mine a full correction with a DA polisher I found a glaze did offer a good amount of filling for hiding swirls etc so usually worth adding if working by hand I am not familiar with the gyeon range is the bathe+ something that wash and waxes?

Varelco 211 Report post Posted April 3, 2019 I find wiping down the car with IPA before you apply your wax/sealant makes a huge difference to how it goes on and its durability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnM 25 Report post Posted April 3, 2019 The full DA polish with a full strip down and clean will be done once the weather gets better which is why I only did a quick clay bar and ultra glaze. The ultra glaze masks and fills any minor swirls and the supernatural will make it easier to wash before the summer. Hybrid is good for the winter/spring months but for the summer I will use Auto finesse Illusion which will really show of the flake in the pearl white paint. Gyeon Bath+ is probably the best wash I have used as I normally stick with Auto finesse products. This was on offer so I thought I would give it a try. It doesnt dry streaky and adds a bit of extra protection in between waxes. Also a little goes a long way as you only need a small amount. 1 gavin_t reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnM 25 Report post Posted May 13, 2019 Planning on doing the first DA run of the year over the next 2 days due to the nice weather for once. So updated pictures by the end of the week as the car has changed slightly since collecting. I will be putting AF illusion on this time rather than dodo supernatural hybrid as looks rather than durability is the aim of the game over the summer months.

JohnM 25 Report post Posted May 14, 2019 Updated pictures of the frt and rear as it stands now. AF illusion is perfect for the white pearl but it is only a 2/3 month durability. The pictures dont show up just how much flake is brought out using this wax especially when the sun hits it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
