Spf 50 may be too heavy and tend to make it pink 30 may be fine

Use a water resistant one and it'll bead like wax as well Win Win

[docchevron132]

thats actually a really good idea! *rushes off to Boots*

[Philhod]

piz off

I daresay I could procure some if anyone wants any. I have 3/4 of a bottle left. I haven't traded with that company for about 5 years, so I don't know how much it is now.

It's mixed with high quality carnuba waxes so water just blows off as you drive.

nothing else works on my pink one now, and I'm still a good couple of years off being able to restore it properly, so if I can make it look a bit better for now, then ya know, gotta be worth a punt!

3 times a year application? My car only gets washed once a year - if it's lucky. I laughed the other day as Mrs B drove off to work - it looked such a dirty old battered heap of a shed............erm...........which it is. And I think the tatty battered ones are some of my faves TBH, but I fancy putting it all right and having a shiney car for once.

Project Bandit will start in March/April, where I want to get shot of all rust and fully waxoyl the bitch

[Philhod]

That may be why it's pink

I'll contact a few people see what I can find. As soon as Gregzee has finished the waxoyling underneath and I repaint the black window surrounds, K39 will be getting the full treatment.

If anyone's managed to find the ultimate UV oxidation retardant for non-metallic red on a BX, it logically ought be the aussies as they're not exactly short of UV there. On the other hand, I can't recall seeing pics of BXs supplied there in that colour.

there's a few ven red BX's in Oz that I'm aware of, and most of them are surprisingly red..
hmmm...

Maybe it's the rain we get over here!

[Bx Bandit]

Acid rain?!

[Philhod]

No Bandit, we produced the acid rain. It actually fell in Scandinavia.

[Bx Bandit]

Do they have pink cars too then?

[docchevron132]

[Philhod]

No coz it's mainly U/V not acid rain, I tells thee

[Bx Bandit]

But but but you said acid rain went east and then the UV went the other way and every car went pink except the red ones........

[docchevron132]

ah, maybe the red ones started out pink?

[Philhod]

Now there's a thought. May be we spray them pink and leave them to fade to red.

[docchevron132]

Well, I've seen black cars turn white, so stranger things have happened!

[Philhod]

That's something that always confused me. All the old pre 50's black cars, had fucking white undercoat.

[docchevron132]

the valver has grey undercoat, odd stuff, like high bridge filler, but not, if ou see what I mean.

I was fairly taken aback to see that the red / pink car also has grey undercoat tha looks like but isn't high brodge filler!
