Centre caps getting the treatment . Treated with Krystal Kleen Brake Away. Then a good clean with fairy liquid ( strikes again ).
Bit of a pain to get spotless but done and about to give them an IPA clean . Then it'll be onto the Gtechniq C5.....
Had to get my fix somehow

Recently detailed my Cupra 290 MY19 in Neveda White
Washed using 2BM with carpro wool washmit and AMDetails shampoo
Most of car dried with Sidekick Blaster and finished off with drying towel.
Used beadmaker for the first time, the slickness is pretty unreal and the smell is gorgeous.
As per videos I’ve seen for the first time use I saturated the panels with beadmaker and buffed off using rag company Edgeless creature , very easy to do.
Under beadmaker is BH cleanser polish and BH double speed wax which I did last week plus full decon with clay, ironx and tardis.
Wheels have a combo of spray on sealants applied, bit of V7 and beadmaker. I do have C5 but need more time to get the wheels off to apply.
Tyres have Megs Endurance gel on after cleaned with BH Surfex HD and Tyre Brush.
Pics are from today (and way over the 8hrs cure time beadmaker recommends)

As you know white is really hard to photo but it does shine and reflect very well!
Reason for using BM is for the gloss levels, car gets washed weekly so not bothered about durability.
Thanks for looking.
You know what stupid me hasn't even tried them for a fit . Look like they will but haven't got round to putting them on yet . If they don't fit then whoever buys my old s-line wheels is getting some new looking centre capsAre those gonna fit your new wheels mate? Is it not just the circular centre cap you need?
Holy crap....... That's awesome NevShort video of the Gyeon Pure coating in action, water sheeting off.
That’s incredible - how long is the coating expected to last with regular washing etc?
Holy ****....... That's awesome Nev

To be honest Nev , SQ5 has red calipers and they look great against black . Your tank , your choice I sayI know, but great fun!
Look forward to your write up on caliper painting, as that is something I want to do, but thinking I may go gloss black to tie in with Mythos (Ok, so Mrs not a fan of me going Red, despite the fact her JCW has red calipers, but then slightly more sporty than my tank)
Better to ask for forgiveness then permission, or so they say...
@Adam14, so so true. Just floated the Red idea at lunch, think I am inBetter to ask for forgiveness then permission, or so they say...

I'd go with the Hammerite gloss, think you want that shine on them, plus would look more OEM. I'm considering the same mod for the S5 as they're currently black.@Adam14, so so true. Just floated the Red idea at lunch, think I am in
So would you all recommend:
Hammerite Smooth Red - https://www.hammerite.co.uk/colorgroup/red/
Or
POR 15 - https://www.frost.co.uk/por15-caliper-painting-kits.html
Or something else? - Planning on brush not spray painting
To be fair Nev , your logic is v why I've decided on red . They'll look greatthink I agree there. Funny enough (as above) was considering black, but if you are going to do it, may as well be bright colour, and red ties in (a stretch here) with the SLINE badges.
Only thing is, I have also read that not all calipers look good when painted, as big lumps.
Here is a pic of current, what do you reckon?

Rear alloy refurb last week didn’t go too well hoping for a better job in 2 weeks time and better colour match (too silvery not “grey” enough)

Watched the rain clean mine yesterday, I have no clue when I will be well enough to give the car a good going over. I can just about prewash it with citrus juice and stand there with hose, but that's it at the moment.
Not even driving :-(
