Some random pics of my sprint after a severe polish
 
Spent 5 hours on my sprint yesterday in preparation for the ARTNW weekend, gave it a mop with fine compound then two coats of £7k a tub carnuba wax that my mate gave me (not the tub, just a bit)

About 2" in diameter and 3" high.
When my mates boss bought it a few years ago they american company were offering free refills for life, they have stopped that for new customers now, so considering they do a lot of expensive cars, its actually good value.

Weird. Why not just charge a normal fee for a one off pot.

Crazy warped business freaks...

P.S. Nice shiny bike, i guess. :)

Thing is, they charge the same anount now but no refills at all i think :smt104

The money spent on high end products is massive, but then thats why customers are willing to pay £600 for a paint correction and £300-£400 for top ups.

Yeah same company, not sure its exactly the same product, my mate was the one who told me about how they stopped doing refills, guess thats incorrect unless its a different wax.
