Phil S1 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Nothing major needs doing on my Evora but having recently retired I have suddenly found myself with plenty of garage time....time to bring out the polisher for a bit of paint improvement. 😁 It was in a pretty good state anyway but there are always areas for further improvement. Got the front clam and roof done so far, plenty more to go at yet...
Phil S1 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Thanks Drage, I'm no expert but I've been using Menzerna medium cut and super finish polishes with hexlogic pads on a das6 pro da polisher and am suitably pleased with the results. I have been able to remove a good number of surface scuffs and scratches. Of late I've been getting all my stuff from Shop n Shine in Derby and have got a new wax from them to try this time called Fusso coat so I'll have to see how I get on with that in due course. 🙂

Also Meguiars Ultra finishing polish is a really good product I’ve found. I’ll have a look at that wax because I’ve been looking for something different recently.
Dr H Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I've used Soft 99 Fusso wax on my Aston, it's impressive stuff. Apparently they have changed the formula recently and it now not as durable but smells less of solvents. The stuff I have has a very strong smell. Supposedly last for up to 12 months. Looking at prices seems to have gone up by 50% too. Mind you it got such rave reviews I guess demand is high. I think I paid about £17 last year. This is the stuff I have https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/soft99-fusso-coat-wax This is the new stuff https://www.shopnshine.co.uk/products/soft99-new-fusso-coat-light?_pos=7&_sid=f25009155&_ss=r They do a dark and light version.
Phil S1 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 That's good to hear Leigh, although my Evora is black/grey I opted for the light version in the end since we have 2 other white cars that I'll be using it on at some point

When I used it on the Aston I threw a microfibre polishing cloth on the bonnet when I'd finished. It immediately slid off onto the floor, it was incredibly slick!

Thanks Leigh, I’ll buy some of the older one tonight. 👍🏻👍🏻
Dr H Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Drage, there was a comparison of the 2 on you tube. Very long video but basically says they are the same apart from durability and I don't think there was that much in it anyway.

Phil S1 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Well that's me about done in the garage on the Evora, it's all polished and now has red mirrors to boot, as per my other post. Just finished off by taking the wheels off and having a bit of a clean and polish/wax around there too

Nothing will stick to your wheels. Chemical Guys Max Coat 👍🏻👍🏻
Phil S1 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks for that Drage, I'll keep that one in mind for next time. For now I have been using Poorboys wheel sealant as previously recommended by Daveb99 - he also knows much about all things shiny
