Wait, what is this Bilt-Hamber Auto Balm stuff?
I'd like to be able to remove micro marring and light scratches with just one coat and do all of that extra cleaning in 7 hours 
Your work never ceases to amaze me, Ken

A wax won't remove scratches at all. You need to polish the CC in order to remove defects, wax just gives protection and shine. 7 hours is a tough deadline as well...

Im guessing it has fillers?

Yeah it is a wax, but I'm not sure about fillers. It might, but if you want something with fillers get a glaze and top it off with wax

The Bilt-Hamber Auto Balm is a sealant from England that I will be stocking in 4-6 weeks. Its the only LSP I have seen that has this kind of filling capability. The scratches aren't gone, just hidden. Getting rid of scratches means polishing. Period. This stuff would be wicked on your Acura. Great for applying right before a show.

this auto balm wax is it paste or the spray on wipe off type?
so for an engine that is cover up like the RR here do you still take any precaution before you soak it in water?
i really want to wash my engine, its got lots of cover (battery cover and what not) like the RR but not as much. I'm worry i might fuck it up if i just go and hose it off like the exterior.
also with the wheels did you use the gel on the tread part as well? i though thats not a good idea making the tire slippery and causing slig?

That looks like a new SL63 in the garage, not a 911.

As for the engine, the newer cars have electronic ignitions meaning that it's a lot safer for shampooing but i would recommend wrapping any electrical connections with saran wrap, just in case. And no, I didn't dress the tread. The way I apply the tire dressing means it wraps around the top of the tire for a finished look, that's all. Quote:

Kev | Excellent pic, Kevin. It is indeed a new SL63. Funny thing is, last summer it was a 911 parked there!

I may get a case air freighted so we have some right away. I may put all the BH stuff on sale when it gets here. It is applied by hand and one coat should give you 6 months easily. Apparently it will outlast even Colli 476.  | |
