Hi Doug I think that's true washing the Jag is relaxing and you feel the curves and the beauty of the shape. Also it gives you a chance to spot any stone chips or damage and like you say you go a bit further and check things over under the hood.
You are lucky with the weather once a week in the uk is the norm.
Cheers Al

I did a quick search and as You know it is a UK company and I have not found a U.S. distributor yet...
So under the Wings (fenders) you apply the Dinitrol to the metal that has not been undercoated and it IS THE UNDERCOATING... Correct?
Is it a once only application?
I noticed that they have several products depending on the application...
Is it a must for the vehicles in the UK because of the Climate???

My Lexus gets its baths in car washes every week. My truck seldom gets washed--and it still looks good as long as I stay out of the mud.
My Jag only gets washed by hand. Come to think of it, I've not even washed her this year--kept inside and under cover. Maybe I'll give her a hand job for Christmas.

Actually I am going to Clay-Bar the car on Saturday,,, then re-apply the wax and PUT A BIG RED BOW ON IT for the Palm Beach Trophy Wife's Christmas Present...
"I don't know Laddie,,, but by the looks of the BOW ,,,it looks like it won first place".... has to be said in a true brogue to get the full effect

Hi Da Count As long as there is no high abrasion it will last a quite a few years and yes need to apply to clean paint if possible,nice and runny to start with then sets to a dry finish.
I did a Karmann Ghia that I had back in the 70's And I think the guy is still running it now its been in some classic shows so the Dinitrol did a good job.
Cheers AL
PS looks by your last post we have started that itch again.The Palm Beach Trophy Wife is going to be well impressed hope you get that bow on for Christmas day "pace yourself"
Merry Christmas Al

Count;
That is my all time favorite joke with a slightly different punch line.
"I dinna know where yav bin laddie but you've won first prize"
Resneed;
Any soap will take wax off, including dish soap.
Very high dollar car guys only use a chamois and cold water to clean their cars, leaving the wax and the paint intact.
Al;
I get my English jokes the same way Churchill did....English Father, American Mother.
I have a Land Rover that I have washed twice in the last five years...when the moss gets too thick. Doggie car after all.
Now don't get your knickers in a twist.....I clean the inside often enough...and most of the panels are aluminum so even if the paint comes off it won't rust too much.
cheers,
jj

Actually the Moniker came about because of several influences...
I just recently sold my practice,,, I am/was a Financial Planner,,, Registered Investment Advisor- I am also a fan of Mel Brooks, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway (dad and Tim were Frat Bro's)
Harvey played Count de Monet AKA Count da Money in History of the World PT1
Since I Invest I thought it apprapo... Count_Damonee
Now I just sit home and Trade for myself and occassionly the wife will let me take the car to my friends shop and play... By play I mean change the oil,,, scrub the wheels,,, polish the exhaust,,, (it's Stainless ya know,,,LOL)
Basically I am bored... So I am looking for another one for me to really get into... 05-06 Coupe loaded and low miles would be ideal.
