Picked up my wife’s E 400 Cabriolet on Friday after having a vinyl wrap installed then did two coats of CarPro Skin yesterday. Finished with the interior this morning so it is clean and protected from the elements.











This car was/is black and has a dark brown fabric top and a rich brown interior. The color combination just never “popped.” I decided to go with a rose gold colored satin wrap and do a chrome delete vinyl in a contrasting color. Looks more like a chick car now I think. The only thing I didn’t think about is how the wheels now look on the car. I think that a dark bronze colored wheel (maybe an inch bigger than stock) will finish this car off nicely. What do you think?




Thanks for looking,

I washed my Mum's Nissan Qashqai today, I think you call it a Rogue Sport over there, and Jeremy Clarkson calls them the Nissan Kumquat. It was coated with NV Lustre and Jet about 6 months ago, so it's an easy vehicle to wash. I foamed it, tested out a new foam, a cheap auto store brand foam, it foamed well, and rinsed easy. I then gave it a 2B wash with Reset, I needed it really clean as I wanted to put something extra on it afterwards.

I decided to add an extra layer of protection, like I did for my FJ last weekend, but I wanted some enhancement, so I went with Dodo Juice Blue Velvet. It really enhances blue paint. I've had the Blue Velvet for 15+ years, and it still goes on and removes easy.

I did this on Saturday for new video content. Washed and coated using the Dr. Beasley's products that come with this car when you buy it new.

WAY TOO MUCH BLACK PIANO PLASTIC ON THE EXTERIOR.

This car will be here for a Matte Detailing Class on Saturday, November 23rd.

Wow, I had to look that up, I had no idea Hyundai was supplying matte finish care products with their vehicles.
