good write up.

Silly question but wtf does that snow foam do anyway?

Why would you snow foam and then shampoo?

Sorry, I think it's time I did my car properly and see the difference rather than cutting coners (which I am suggesting here lol)

Also is a sealer necessary after you clay your car or can you go straight to adding a polish to act as the sealer?

My car have several swirl marks and holographics that I would like to get rid of

The snow foam breaks down nasties that could scratch the paint when a sponge/ wash mitt is used, snow foam creates a lubricant and clings to the car and gradually moving downt the car taking the nasties with it and reducing the chance of swirls and scratches from your wash mitt.

Why would you snow foam and then shampoo?

As above really, and to make sure the car body is clean and free from dirt etc as the snow foam will not remove all dirt etc from the body surface or get into all the nooks and crannies that we have on our evo's

Not necessary but it helps to give more protection and gives a good base for a "wet" or "glossy" shine, I use six or seven different finish products now to give the depth but im still not happy tbh.

I use the paint sealant after the polish/Lime prime, then onto a glaze then another glaze , sealant then wax and sealant.

Alot of people say they do it but they dont as there knackered, but I always give it two coats of mirrror glaze and two of wax then one of sealant !

They can be got at by hand mate but it takes work and time, you can always work the polish over areas where it needs it or use a hand pad that cuts slightly, like the Lake country hand applictor

Keep at it and it will work wonders, also use some sort of glaze to fill the swirls that helps , poor boys white diamond for white/light coloured cars or black hole for dark.

Have fun LOL

I have soo many diff products and im never happy with the finish LOL

uking hell jonny how many coat's! wax on wax off again again again. Mate you must knackered after that! I wax then quick detail to finish it off. Fair play tho mate must look mint when finished!

The more you do the better the result the wax is for protection it's the other bits that make it shiny lol
