TreesSZ Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 A good mate of mine is getting hitched at the weekend and my silver supe is carrying him to the church! Anyone got any ideas of where to attach ribbon or any info on how to make metallic truly shine? a guy at work mentioned something about mul or mol or some kind of stuff that is used on all sorts of things. anyone heard of it????

jamesmark Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Attach to rear view mirror, bring out the top of the doors using sticky back plastic and then under the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 tie some helium balloons to your spoiler perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 What colours your supe? mines black and i use autoglym super resin polish, and then after polishing apply extra gloss protection. that gives it a nice deep shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreesSZ Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 under the bonnet? it wont get caught in anything? I was thinking wrap it under the reg' plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Loop it through the bonnet catch under the bonnet. I did from mirror to mirror via this catch. It rubbed like buggery on the bonnet and needed a damn good polish to remove the fine scratches though. They did come out ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 just don't take a picture of it all 'ed up like that... it's just wrong.. lol! This stuff is good for getting silver cars to shiiiiiine (my Supe's silver). See here for a quick review & photos showing a bit of the effect. For maximum effect; wash it dry it clay bar it polish it then use that stuff ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sweet! can you get it anywhere? clay bar? Halfords sell the clay bar. it's proper name is "Meguiars Quik Clay" and it comes in a black box which contains a spray gun of lubricant (ooh-err) and the clay bar itself. There is a guide on that polished bliss website re: how to get the best out of a clay bar but it's a peice of weewee and has great results. My car felt like polished glass once I'd done it, and I really didn't put much effort or time in. EDIT - just make sure you kneed the dirt into the inside often, and DON'T drop it as you will pick up all sorts of crud (some you can see and remove, but no doubt some you can't see/remove) that you don't want to then go scratching your car with!

MARTIN R Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We put the ribbon of the wing mirrors and then under the bonnet for my wedding last year looked great. Sonax polish has always given my car a really deep shine and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
