  • Some love to our Skoda.

    I was planning to wash the car only and wait for winter prep...
    But this summer was so bad, it's cold all the time.
    So I did not maintain her as good as I should.

    After washing her, I feel like she need a good polish.
    Some oxdiations were spotted.
    Therefore, a trusty dodo juice buff daddy, M105 and M205 come in handy.

    I did
    Foam gun
    2B Method hand wash
    clay with ONR mixture lube
    Hood and roof 2 steps M105 cutting pad followed by M205 with polish pad.
    rest 1 step M205 with polishing pad.
    Ultimate liquid wax and top with gold class paste wax
    (my idea is to use Ulimate wax to seal the paint and form a longer lasting base because its pure synthetic polymer. Top with gold class paste wax for good shine on black cars)

    If I should do it another way around, please point me to the light.

    Thin coat of wax



    Finish product aka reflection shots









    The metallic paint now stands out on its own


    Look, its shinning all over the place.


    My money shot

        I moved to Europe 2 years ago!
        So thats why I have a Skoda.

        It is the same as B5 passat.
        Same climate control and everything.
        Everywhere has VW and Audi badges.

        Thanks for all your comments.
        By all means, cleaning cars is just my hobby!!

        Any suggest on my idea of first Ulitmate wax and top with gold class??
