Picked up my wife’s E 400 Cabriolet on Friday after having a vinyl wrap installed then did two coats of CarPro Skin yesterday. Finished with the interior this morning so it is clean and protected from the elements.
This car was/is black and has a dark brown fabric top and a rich brown interior. The color combination just never “popped.” I decided to go with a rose gold colored satin wrap and do a chrome delete vinyl in a contrasting color. Looks more like a chick car now I think. The only thing I didn’t think about is how the wheels now look on the car. I think that a dark bronze colored wheel (maybe an inch bigger than stock) will finish this car off nicely. What do you think?
I washed my Mum's Nissan Qashqai today, I think you call it a Rogue Sport over there, and Jeremy Clarkson calls them the Nissan Kumquat. It was coated with NV Lustre and Jet about 6 months ago, so it's an easy vehicle to wash. I foamed it, tested out a new foam, a cheap auto store brand foam, it foamed well, and rinsed easy. I then gave it a 2B wash with Reset, I needed it really clean as I wanted to put something extra on it afterwards.
I decided to add an extra layer of protection, like I did for my FJ last weekend, but I wanted some enhancement, so I went with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet. It really enhances blue paint. I've had the Blue Velvet for 15+ years, and it still goes on and removes easy.
