Finally a car I felt would be a good test mule for my newest Swissvax purchase
Its the R33 Nissan Skyline I look after on a maintenance plan so I can keep an eye on durability more closely than other cars I do. I appreciate many of you who've been on DW for a while will have seen the car before, but not with CR.
As I was using Swissvax Crystal Rock I felt I'd do a Swissvax detail, but with some extra steps.
Pre-soaked with a foaming TFR
Rinsed then foamed with an experimental SSF
5mins later
Its doing some good, brown foam!
The car was then washed with Swissvax Car bath, 2 buckets, grit guards and a LW mitt, rinsed and dried.
Claying time, Paint rubber and quick finish
No real surprises, not too rough and the odd tar spot.
Paint cleansed by PC, finishing pad and Swissvax CF (normal)
50/50 roof
Buffed off
The whole car was paint cleansed, time to get a look at the Crystal Rock! Smells as good as the other Swissvax's thats for sure, slightly harder than BOS, similar to Mystery but easier to apply.
Thin layer applied to roof via foam applicator
Allowed to cure/haze. 10 mins seemed enough today, buffed off.
Side shot with Crystal Rock applied
Car buffed off, time to clean the glass.
Exhaust looking like it needs a clean,
Ok, no problem with metal polish
Tyres dressed with pneu and thats the exterior done.
I then set about the interior, but it was the wax part I was really looking forward to.
I shall be interested to see how durable the wax is. It certainly IS easy on and off, compared to high %age carnuaba's. I had hoped to get some bright sunshine too, but this didnt happen. I'm not disappointed with the wax so far, and I have been very sceptical I must admit:lol:
Hope you enjoyed the write up.
