Evo VI – More Cavity Wax

I did a load of cavity waxing before but it was a bit awkward with the car on axle stands. Now I have much better access underneath I thought I’d go finding all the holes I could to fill with Noxudol 700 cavity wax. This is a messy job so I only took a few […]

Evo VI – Proper Clean, Clay, Polish and Wax

The Evo gets cleaned pretty much every weekend, but it had been a while since I went that bit extra to remove any previous wax and built up dirt. It had got pretty dirty in the Lake District and all the awkward places needed a good clean so I got the clay and some polish out. […]
