Is Milano the best colour?
I think it is.
So here are some new images of mine just to show Dimplyred and Sallytraffic the benefits of a good wax!!

Please post your pics

Very nice good job on the shine

Did you get that from the Collinite 476? How many layers have you applied? Just wondering as not sure whether just to stick with that or maybe consider some Dodo Juice.

I've also got some Collinite 915 but not sure what that will be like on Red as bought it for my Accord which is a deep blue

robbo51 · 27th January 2008, 16:29

Its Collinite 476 and has about 3 or 4 layers

Dimplyred · 27th January 2008, 17:37

Mine has two now

And is very very shiney. And yes red is the best colour

St Thomas · 27th January 2008, 17:44

Even though I have a NHB, RED does look good

I think milano red is the best colour but then I am very by

Maquis73 · 27th January 2008, 18:34

I have to agree Milano Red is the best colour

robbo51 · 27th January 2008, 18:38

Come on guys get your pictures posted here too!!

Maquis73 · 27th January 2008, 18:51

I haven't got any new ones yet and she is not as shiney as yours Robbo - still not got round to waxing yet as weather has not yet been up to it - hoping to remedy this soon - here are some from a few weeks ago though.

When I first joined I remember saying Blueish silver was the best colour, but I would because that was the colour of my first Civic! But after seeing pictures of red Civics my second one had to be red.

No doubt Red has it. Will post pictures of my S Type once washed and polished and thanks to members of this forum on their advice with what cleaning and polish stuff to use.

It will be good on a NHB.

red is a great colour but you just cannot beat Deep bronze,NHB or vivid blue

I thought you'd say that

Robbieee · 27th January 2008, 19:47

Milano red is the best civic colour definately!!!!!! Its the best colour for the civic's curves. I dont think its that common either (not where i live anyway). NHB is very commmon!

Red just sums up a sporty car i think. Its a fact red cars go faster

StuMcBill · 27th January 2008, 19:57

Yes, Milano Red is the best colour! If you disregard NightHawk Black that is!

I agree, vivid rules!

sallytraffic · 27th January 2008, 20:32

Duly impressed, robbo

. Well worth all your efforts, and yes, that Milano red does look spectacular.

I am suitable encouraged to carry on the work with my NHB but need a couple more coats of the sealant before enjoying the waxing stage. The only waxing I can do now is the waxing lyrical about your shine !
