vornwend 0 Posted May 31, 2010 A couple of simple jobs today: 1. Fitted a replacement inside door top plastic trim (the old one had been cracked ever since I've had the car) 2. Having found an old soldering iron in the garage took a small journey outside my comfort zone and fitted an in-line fuse to the headlight switch - following CrazyDave's mega helpful "how to" the absolute tee(including Maplin parts). Took me about 45 minutes but was ultra careful and included some soldering practice as I've never done any in anger before. Pleased it all went smoothly and would say it's one of those " if I can do it anyone can" type of mods :)corrado headlight switch.jpg[/attachment:16zdrwr1] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the LP was Drew's recommendation :salute: Real easy to work with. Didn't apply too much pressure this time as I wanted to test it out. Gives an excellent base for wax.

KADVR6 0 Posted June 20, 2010 lime prime is great, not rating the dodo juice wax's for durability though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted June 21, 2010 i found the soft wax to look better but the hard wax to last longer. so thats why i have both! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted June 21, 2010 i found the soft wax to look better but the hard wax to last longer. so thats why i have both! I guess that's true. Not exposing mine to the harsher elements these days so kinda hoping the soft wax will last well enough. Will probably appy the LP a bit harder next time anyway (I don't have machine polisher) . Impressed at how easy it was to work with these 2 products though - was getting a bit peeved off with what I had before (Meguirs paint cleaner and gold class wax) What hard wax do ya use?- Blue velvet?

KADVR6 0 Posted June 21, 2010 i found the soft wax to look better but the hard wax to last longer. so thats why i have both! yeh i have both also, and some supernatural, but still rate the collinite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_griff 0 Posted June 21, 2010 i know the supernatural is dod juice's "premium" wax, but is it supposed to be a long-lasting hard wax??? i just ask as i genuinely don't know and hard waxes like blue velvet etc are obviously supposed to last longer... by the way Vaughan, your car looks stunning in the pictues pal - a credit to you as always and one of my personal fave's on the forum :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
