I just gave the red C3 its yearly polish in the shade of the underground carpark and OMG that was so bloody easy! on, off, shiny, glossy, done... (super resin polish / extra gloss protection)

Why the feck did the S take so long to get as good looking as this? It must have been doing it on my old driveway, even if not direct sun it just took forwever to get on and off. If only I had a garage when I had the S...



Or was the paint just absolutely crap on my Berlina

Cleaning / Polishing is much easier in the shade

And black is one of the hardest colours

yeah - it really was a difficult colour. Red is so much easier to deal with but I guess the complete shade is what really helps. The extra gloss was a lot easier to work with. What's the easist colour - silver

Hmm, hadn't thought of that. It'd be worth the

Most car products are designed to be used in the shade, polishing compounds are a prime example of that. The only way I have found I can get consistency is to work within a garage even if its a beautiful day

Furthermore, it is quite difficult to see the 'proper' result in the shade, unless you are working under fluorescents or lamps. So, under shade your car may look amazing, however the true acid test is to take it under full sun and move your head around the angles of the car, or under a petrol station lights and then see if your results are as good as you think they are.

Polishes dry out so fast in the sun they become almost unusable, however Poorboys polishes work in sun or shade equally well, IMO that is something to consider when buying products.
