Hydrophobic Demo with Black Scirocco

Black paintwork can be a handful, but done right, you'll get a super sleek and smooth finish, with a deep, wet gloss unlike anything else. Here are the results of a two day detail session with a black roc.

Work performed: Full car bespoke prep/polish work, M188 Deep Crystal Coating (2 coats), Swissvax Crystal Rock wax applied by hand, interior detail, Swissvax Leather Milk conditioning, engine bay cleansing and protectant.

An exciting day for us as a car model we've never worked on before rolled into Detail Lab today. The Megane RS in white, with a request for a full detail and PPS coating.

Choice of PPS was Meguiar's M188 Deep Crystal Coating, with a layer of Swissvax Glacier wax (specially formulated for white paint) as the topper.

Another great week filled with rides new and old. Nothing beats picking up the old faithful rotary and working hard to bring out the best possible gloss of the clear coat.

Don't be a victim of OEM brake dust!

Done with the alloys and on to the paintwork.
