A cracking wax

Post by TitanTim » Sat Jun 10, 2017 8:53 pm

Thought I would spend the afternoon trying out some recently acquired Dodo Juice Bouncer Wax on the M140i

Quite pleased with the results.

Then found a 2cm crack on the mirror base, no idea how its occured as theres no other damage to the mirror and they're always folded when parked, looks like a stress crack, weird and no doubt expensive to replace grrrrr :headbang: :x

Nice show room finish, your car looks lovely Tim. I love DoDo Juice products but have not tried this wax, but the end result looks fantastic :thumbsup:

Having loads of fun while getting to know how the car handles Tim. I want to polish and wax mine once the rain showers finally go. I still have a tub of DoDo Juice Rainforest Rub wax to use up first before I can buy anymore wax though.

Thanks Mr Wilks, I had the black gloss exterior on the previous 135 so went all pipe and slippers with the chromeline to match the fineline wood interior this time around, I wasn't sure to be honest but I feel it goes well against estoril, its not really chrome more of a matt aluminium. Its my age :lol:

Good to hear :) Tomorrow looks to be drier, I wasn't planning breaking the wax out today but the rain cleared, I may ponder tomorrow fitting the performance spoiler that I've had for three years :oops:

Looks sparkling Tim, Great job. I spent many miles stuck to the rear bumper of a M140i the other weekend, on a PH run. Quick for a hot hatch for sure. :thumbsup:

Must did out a photo.

Many thanks, it was done by hand, took me around 4 and half hours but included washing and dressing plastics/engine bay. I'm unsure it would be a good idea letting me loose with a machine polisher :o My OCD would have it looking silver in no time :lol:
