    Camo? Hmm..

    camo'd it.



    Well actually it's just sealant I wa leaving to settle before polishing off. Tho it did make me wonder how good an "urban Camo" I.e black an white camouflage vinyl wrap would look on a GTI .

    Yeah i did, but its a sealant, its supposed to dry before buffing off

    No drama's in getting it off, just as painful as always

    It was freaking hot in Melb tho :\

    The ideal way to wash and detail a car is out of direct light

    ideal, - yes probably - tho never seen a good reason why this is so (other than the "the wax won't work well", or "will dry too fast to get it off easily")

    Suffice to say, i've done it hot, cold, sunny, cloudy - always comes out the same

    Poorboys EX-P btw (which specifically is OK in the sun

    if there is no choice it should at the very least be done a panel at a time, especially on black as it will bake the product onto the paint work.

    Which is why I didn't get Black.. I am a detail junkie and love what black looks like after a full 2 days detailing but couldnt handle the immidiate dirt and eventual swirls.. so I went for RB which allows you both worlds
