Probably but it just says 4 hrs till anything can get on it, probably including another product. Now 303 doesn't need any cure time

While washing the FJ a couple of days ago, I noticed some fresh bush pinstripes from my off roading last week, and the beginnings of some oxidising of the single stage white paint on the roof. So I used Dodo Juice Lime Prime on a foam hand applicator on the roof, great workout that, up and down the work platform, and stretching over the roof using reasonable downward pressure, then wiped it down with NV Clarity. Collinite 845 was then applied, with a topping of NV Lustre after that. The door I did with a Scholl blue spider pad using Scholl S3, wipe down with NV Clarity, then applied NV Lustre. Good results all round.

Big Dave does it all...respect from the off-roaders for getting it all dirty and using its off-road abilities and respect from us for keeping it clean

It's what's known as a dichotomy, or so my learned brother tells me.

Love to get them dirty, love to make them shiny again.

HERE WE GO!!

Had the new wheels fitted with tires today. 3 week wait on the tires due to Pandemic production backlogs. Laid awake last night worrying they would jack them up, I now have a sense of relief. This is the point where now I'm in my control.

I have a couple of days leave booked to give me a chance to ceramic coat and install them on the car without having to rush. I don't like or take holidays, so this is my idea of a "holiday". That said, I just couldn't help myself and got stuck into prepping the tires. Let me say, man handling wheels and tires is hard work, very thankful the wheel stand arrived in time.

Bring on the weekend!!

I can't wait to see them on the car, it's going to look awesome. But for real man handling, I'll swap you the ones on the FJ, 285/65-17s on steel rims, and the spare has to be lifted up to chest height. Next time I have the spare off I'll put it on the scales.

Supervised my friend as we did the following to her Jeep Patriot:
* Rinseless washed with ultima
* Decon with Ferrous Dueller
* clay with DJ Born Slippery/Prima Slick $ Meg’s Pro Fine Blue
* polish with G9, GG orange pad, and Wolf’s Medium Cut. Tried a lighter polish first but thought we cut do a bit better. The Wolf’s finishes down well enough that she was happy with the result.

Ran out of energy and paint was getting pretty warm by the time we finished so Thursday we’ll use Eraser and put some of what I have left of my CQuartz Lite on it.

Cleaned up my neighbor's Model 3. The paint is murdered so we discussed a correction down the road. Gotta love when you vacuum the trunk and the client comes to pick up his car in a filthy mini dirt bike and throws it in the trunk. Then he proceeded to put down his windows as he drove away dagnabit! Lol
