Victorias Concours Wax Beading
« on: May 29, 2012, 09:34:22 am »
About 7 weeks ago i applied a single layer of CG's 50/50 v.2 Chrome and Britemax Vantage on the car to test them against each other.

An update to that and some pics can be found here on my FB page - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=615168094

Since washing the car at the weekend and noticing the beading had died off to what i would then say was needing more wax i thought i'd take the opportunity to try another wax i'd recently got hold of - Victorias Concours Wax - aka Vic's Red.

No other prep was done other than a wash down and dry of the car. Then a single layer was applied to the whole car then left to cure before being buffed. This would actually be the 2nd layer on the roof since i had tried the wax when i first got it but you all know what its like :thumb:

I got home from work last night and the car had a light dust over it so i decided to give it a rinse down and a wipe over. I thought i'd share the beading from that rinse (hose with spray attachment set to shower setting).

These were all taken with my trusty old HTC as the camera was dead. I must admit, although i still love the durability and sterile / sharpness from Zaino i am loving working with waxes again and the beading, lets be honest is always more impressive from a wax :argie:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
