Decided to get the car detailed for some winter protection.

Got the car back after a day and really pleased with the results and got a good deal.

I left the lads to the job to be fair but I do know they used master sealant I think it was. Shows even with our 'primer' colour we can get great results. The protection I got was 1 year but will prob go back before the summer for a nice clean and wax

Interesting Nick as I have not used Exo and have stuck to C2 v3 instead with zero issues. Was going to ask for Exo as winter coat but may not bother now.

 

Did have an issue with C5 not coating alloys but a quick machine polish of the alloys made the job easy.

Colonites great winter wax and seems to have given you a decent shine too!!

Might fire some at our cars when it's dry enough although the wife's motor is desperate for claying and De-taring

HD wax has been holding up well so far though.

Looking very good that!

 

This is my Autoglym HD wax which is at around 3 months since the last application.
