time to change an try something better, atm am using gold class which is just ok, what wax are you using?
thanks andrew

 

i use 3 different waxes depending on what i want

iv got auto glym hd wax (very durable)
dodo juice supernatural hybrid (very durable)
chemical guys butter wet wax (not as durable but gives the deepest wettest shine)

 

i use dodo juice orange crush very good imo

 

I use poorboys nattys paste wax (red smells like strawberries)

 

Swissvax best in show..........

Edited,

Few pics on my Evo and as you know White's HARD to bring out...

 

i have heard great reviews about this GTECHING Crystal Lacquer anyone used it?

 

Turtle wax, Black Box for black cars is amazing ... for black cars

 

i m just after buying meguires ultimate paste wax,
it better be good for the money i payed for it

 

Collinite 476 for me cheap too.

 

Chemical Boys XXX Hardcore Wax

Pretty good for the money. Quite durable with regular maintenance washing.

 

Merguiars carbunara does a good enough job for me after step one and 2 of the 3 step system.

 

My cheaper wax i use autogylm HD (good for the price)

I then only use swissvax, i have onyx, mirage,and swissvaxs top wax......... divine

I also im a Gtechniq approved detailer and can give a 5 year warrenty with C1

 

would c1 be top range mate?

 

C1 is the most durable as you will only have to apply once every 2 years according to the blurb! I applied it about a year and a half ago on my Focus and the beading is slowly dropping off now...

It definitely is a use and forget type of product...I actually use the complete G-technique range - C4 for plastic trim, C1 for paint and C5 for rims (although I am told its the same product by G-techniq themselves!). There is a new version of C1 coming out apparently which has a longer work time befor it crystalises.

Be sure to work on say half a panel at a time as if the products crystallise, the only way to get it off is machine polish it!

Other products I use are:

Duragloss 101 I think it is (AWESOME shampoo!)
G Techniq P1 polish
Zaino Z5 PRO polish
Dodo Juice Blue Velvet wax
G techniq C1 for paint
G techniq C4 for trim
G techniq C5 for rims
Rain-X (Durability aint the best but I can generally get around 1-2months out of one application....but the price of it beat everything else!)
Megs window cleaner
AG HD Wax
AG Tyre Shine
Aerospace R303 rubber/plastic dressing
FinisKare detailer
Bilberry wheel cleaner

Cant remember what else lol

The above is what I have narrowed my 'ultimate detailing' kit to...there will be more products I will try and see if they make the cut...but im waiting for the days to get better lol

 

Do you do mail order at trade by anychance?

 

Here mine with P1/C1 applied

 

What's best finishing wax for white in the detailers opinion?

Been using AG hd but obviously there's much better out there.

 

tell me this i had gtechniq stuff put on my window and it is terrible and very smeary when the wipers are on.what would have caused this?

 

3dr wears Swiss vax...

Focus Rs wears..dodo juice rainforest rub.

 

Tell me about white. I've just had to mop my brother in laws C4 cos it was starting to lose it's shine. It's only 18 months old!!

 

Can you remember which glass product it was? G1 is for the front screen and needs to be applyed properly,G5 (use to be called G3) is normaly used one the side windows because it wont last long with the wipers.

 

G1 it was mate.

 

Okay do you know how it was applied? was the screen polished with G4 before? how many coats were applied and how long was it left to cure?

 

Fook knows. I'll ask the guy that applied it do you have a list as such as how it goes on?does it sound as if it's not on correct?

 

If the screen was not prepped properly then it may cause issues,the only issues i know of is wiper judder which normaly clears up after a week or 2

Never heard of it causing smearing,might be worth changing your blades just in case its them.

 

been using meguairs nxt 2.0 great shine and no dusty residue great polish

 

Yourube G techniq I'm sure they had a few promo vids

 

If you look at post 11 in this thread you'll see my car, it has one very thin layer of Dodo Juice Super natural Hybrid on it.

DoDo Juice blue velvet, didn't like it at first, but the longer you leave it set, the better it is.
Collinite 476, cheap and ridiculously long lasting, but a bitch to get off
AutoGlym HD, quick and easy, doesn't last too badly, gives quite a deep shine i think
Meg's next gen wax, love the smell, works very well, and its cheap.
poorboys natty's blue, smells lush, easy and quick to use, doesn't last too long.

Which one i use depends what mood i'm in!

 

Dodo juice rainforest rub

Stunning!

 

i use Dodo Juice Homebrew

 

Another one for Zaino

 

As from today i will allways use Turtle wax Black Box, got some this morning and its for black paint, used it on my black 3 door and its fantastic, it comes with paint cleaner , detailer and wax, black car owners give it a try.

 

Anyone with a White Car should try the Jeffs Werkstat Acrylic kit. I bought some For my wifes Fiat 500 two years ago and used it as the first paint treatment on the day she got the car. Gives a really good finish. She goes 2-3 months sometimes without washing it, and road tar etc just washes off with hot soapy water. Ive treated the car once in December 2009 with it and only recently noticed it needs doing again. Not bad for a £50 kit.

 

best wax IMO for under £50 would be chemical guys 50/50 v2

I've yet to crack open my zymol glasur
