A little bit of shampoo mixed with the Valet Pro foam produces amazing foam which is very thick and dwells well.

Bilt Hamber Auto Foam for me. There's a U Tube channel - 'Forensic Detailing' - Jon has produced many videos on products, technique and general car care, well worth a look if you want to care for your car. He can be a bit long winded but he seems to know his stuff, claims to be unbiased and advocates Bilt Hamber for most products.
I can understand your friends viewpoint from that era but paint just like cars have moved on a bit since 70/80s. Now a 4 layer process that’s baked on at each level following the first which is an electro coated zinc based body primer (effectively rust proofs whole body) then primed and baked, base coat/colour and baked, clear coat and baked so already fully cured once leaving the painting line.
Yes, I think you are probably right Mike re: paint quality I still cringe when I see the lance of water come out in the local car wash though, certainly somewhere I won't be visiting in a new Porsche. What are your views on ceramic coatings? I was thinking, straight from dealership for some of this treatment. I certainly won't have the OPC doing it.MikeM wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 5:07 pmI can understand your friends viewpoint from that era but paint just like cars have moved on a bit since 70/80s.

Justin at ECC, Trowbridge is well established and does an excellent job.
Cheers Steve, I've seen the website which looks impressive, all the info re: over night security etc, so a nice journey to say goodbye to the new car for a few days when I complete my purchase.
I haven’t used Justin myself as I prep my own (using sealant) and topping up, which is needed more frequently than ceramic that can last many years if washed and cared for properly. He has a good reputation on this forum, so if I was looking at a Ceramic coating I would definitely give him a call.jone66 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 7:23 amYes, I think you are probably right Mike re: paint quality I still cringe when I see the lance of water come out in the local car wash though, certainly somewhere I won't be visiting in a new Porsche.
