After yesterdays GTG at the Hampshire Bowman pub, the road out of the venue was like a rally track with horse cr@p, mud and deep puddles for a couple of miles:wallbash:
The car was filthy, so today I got to try the Poorboys Black Hole sealant after giving the car a thorough wash. It's turned out pretty well I think and a big thumbs up to Black Hole..
Didn't have the energy to finish with the untried Bilt Hamber double speed wax, but that is for tomorrow.
Just a few from todays clean up.

I doubt the wax is going to improve the shine Wighty, but it will give some extra protection over winter.
Thumbs up to whoever recommended Poor Boys.:)

It will be spring time now before I get the paint work attended to and serum treated. It really isn't in good condition at all despite those photos.

Looking good Roger.

Hard to beat a black car for that stunning shine. :)

Hope it's before BOTG, only time I get to see you nowadays...

Bet it does :D . Black hole is a glaze that has the purpose of filling small swirls as well as acting as a polish . The wax will make it look awesome , or your money back :rolleyes:

So today I gave the car the Bilt Hamber Double speed wax treatment.
I found out a couple of things. Firstly, use it sparingly. I used too much on the bonnet and nearly gave up doing the rest, so hard was it to polish the wax off. Lesson learned, use less and its far easier to polish.
The second thing learnt was, I needed a polisher:D.
So, I went a bought this one which is cheap for a first time user and has decent reviews.

I doubt it will be used until after winter now, so plenty of time to collect extra foam pads and polishing discs.

I did take a few more photos, but as the sky is overcast compared to yesterday , the paintwork actually looks worse in the photos. It's an illusion. The car really has come up well and I'm pleased with both products. Just a few pics taken near to Poole Harbour this afternoon.

Looks great, BH wax is superb, I usually put Sonax over it for added protection

Me too.
Yesterday I went to the car to find well dried caked on seagull sh1t. As I was filling my washer I splashed some mix on the said poo and it just slid off without any effort at all. Pouring rain in the evening did the rest. Good old BH & S.
