Washed my car yesterday and wanted to try the DJ Lime Prime.

The process was:
1) Korrek Detergent Spray pre-wash
2) Bilt-Hamber Autofoam pre-wash
2) Wash with Turtle Wax Big Orange car shampoo + Meguiar's sheepskin mitt
3) Sonüs Green Ultra Fine clay
4) Dodo Juice Lime Prime with Lake Country CCS black pad + Flex XC 3401 VRG
5) Dodo Juice Supernatural

I had noticed few light swirls on lower panels, and wanted to try if Lime Prime could beat them... And it did! I only used a CCS black pad with a Flex. I found the Lime Prime to be a very good All-in-One product (light polish, pre-wax cleaner and a glaze)! It made a good base for the Supernatural, which I just love.

At first I spread the LP at speed 3/6, then went up to 5 or 6 depending on the area. I buffed it until the LP started to disappear, then wipe off.

Pros/cons:
+ a great polish without being an actual polish
+ smells nice
+ very little goes very far with a machine polisher
- residues stuck pretty hard when fully worked (needed some qd to wipe them off)

Few afters:

Here's couple of pics more about how the Sapphire Black was meant to look by BMW .

Yea yea.... same (kind of) pics over and over again, but I'm just so thrilled about the detailing things at the moment...
One Audi A6 and a BMW E61 are still on "to do list" for this spring, and I hardly can wait for them .






You can see Eric was enjoying it too!

I use a dilution of Turtle Wax Big Orange car shampoo and water as a lubricant when claying.
