Oh yeah, and AMIGO ROCKS!

Note that Some Guy didn't really polish out the scratch (which really looks more like a deep swirl)... but Amigo fills & conceals quite well, as this demonstrates... But hitting it with Swirl first, then finishing with Amigo would yield a perfect mirror finish...

 

hahaha...


really?

 

someguy- that Amigo's power sure looks gooood! i should get some.

 

Yeah, pretty much. WD-40 is pretty much just kerosene. Great "squeak stopping" power... but only temporary. Why I always use spray lubes that have teflon in them...

 

Trust me it is a scratch. It go put on the car while driving one of the beaches on Nantucket. In fact it is deep enough on the right side that I can catch my nail in it ever so slightly. Still though, Amigo even did an admirable job filling that part.

PS: The stuff below the "before" box that looks like swirling is actually dried Amigo I hadn't buffed off yet.

 

Cool. I believe you.

Did you apply by hand or machine? If by machine, there's enough abrasive in Amigo that it probably polished the "haze" outta the scratch some, down to clear clearcoat... so didn't only fill it, probably. Not enough abrasive to "remove" a scratch, but enough to smooth it out and make it much less noticeable. Plus the fillers.

Did I say AMIGO ROCKS?

 

Did it by hand. Just used one of those 99 cent foam pads that DP sells. Applied with vigor of course, but by hand none the less.

 

I Swirled before I Amigoed. Clara is a shiny beast right now.

 

can MINI's become 'BEASTS'?

kinda like a ladybug putting on some rambo gear. hahahaha

 

I just went out and conferred with Blimey, and he asked me to convey his sentiments, ken.

"Up Yours"

 

yah, you're too scared to tell me so you let your dog say that?

 

i think im going to polish my bb this weekend.

 

Just bought a fresh bottle of 303 at the local spa store.

Drove by Lotsie's place and saw him half naked on the porch. I was going to honk but didn't want to startle him.

 

dang, i hope that was the top half.

 

 

yah we dont want you going blind. lol

 

oh yah, forgot i was going to polish my bb...

maybe tomorrow.

time for some icecream. lol

 

My stuff shipped, should arrive on Monday. I am so excited!

 

Hydro & Amigo?

 

I changed my oil the other day. I think this was the fourth time with the MINI---went a lot smoother with the filter housing this time ... just three attempts.

 

um... that was like over a week ago, ofioliti.. you did have too much
wine during that oil change didn't you?

 

Hadn't done it yet then . Drank all that wine and joked around, yes.

 

I already have that stuff. This was my polish and pads, plus some caliper paint.

 

no car washing this weekend, it looks like. too much iso-t in the forecast.

how about you guys?

 

100 degrees here, every day. Plus I have a cold. Sucks.

Good news is that Blimey is still clean from last wash... probably just dust and QD if I feel like it. Wish I was rich and had an air-conditioned garage...
