Re: Detailed Reflections - volvo s40 24 i

As a volvo owner, I know how hard it can be to clean and detail this car. Great job! My question is, when you said 106ff and sip on the hood only, does that mean only the hood received polishing?

Re: Detailed Reflections - volvo s40 24 i

no the owner only wanted AIO which i used poliseal, but the hood looked bad so i polished the hood only with the sip and 106. I polished the hood just because it was bothering me not because client asked. The poliseal really does a good job of bring out metalic flake,the client said he didnt even realize there was flake in it lol.

Re: Detailed Reflections - volvo s40 24 i

How do you apply your BnB to the tires? Especially those that have the vertical, tight "ribbing" decorative molding right in the middle of the sidewall like those...and keep it from slinging out?

Just got some and haven't tried it yet...always liked the way it looks in pics though.

What do you mean that it's hard to clean? I don't find it much different from any other car, I have a V50.
