Ahead of trying out some new coatings this week... car totally decontaminated and the existing wax/products removed. Nice to see how paintwork looks without anything on it when you keep it in good nick!
Products to go on: Fusso light (Soft99) followed by Kiwami light (Soft99) on the paintwork, Oracle (Carbon Collective) on the decals, and possibly some of the plastic parts
I initially wanted to use King of Gloss (Soft99) but the light version (red label/badge) contains abrasives and fillers, okay for solid paint but not pearlescent. Light pearl and metallic (white tins, green and yellow labels/badges) would have been a better choice for light metallic colours. However with Kiwami being the newer alternative which has a mix of fusso and king of gloss properties I decided to go with that instead
Wheels are coated in Gtechniq C5 which has held out nicely for well over a year now with no signs of degrading, although the next set of wheels I’ll be using Revolve by Kkd
