Just ordered some as I wanted an all in one type polish/wax, seems to get good reviews online, has anyone here used it? And how do you rate AF products?

I'm used to AutoGlym and Chemical Guys stuff

 

I've used the iron out, Avalanche snow foam and the tire gel stuff thought they were brilliant products well priced to, let us know how you get on with the tripple sounds like an alternative to srp.

 

Meant to be better than srp because it's just a polish/filler type product, where as the Tripple is a polish/filler/wax all in one.

Won't get it in the post till next week so will post back after I've used it in the next few weeks

 

Its a great product, gives a nice layer of protection as well as filling swirls and light scratches

Very easy to use

 

SRP contains polymers and will lay down some protection.

Not used Tripple myself but the other AF products I have used are very good (Finale in particular) so I have no doubt it is as good a folk say it is.

 

It's very good stuff

 

Excellent, its nice to know i havent wasted my money on it! (although its not expensive anyway)

 

Yes it does the job. Not as good as doing it in stages but for an all in one product it's what I use once every few months.

 

What do you people use to apply the polish(for those doing it by hand)? As a noob, last year I used a foam applicator pad, just like a sponge but in a small pad size, used it once then I made a mistake, I washed it in warm water(well tried) let it dry then when I went to use it again(months later) you could see there must have been water still in the sponge because it was smearing the polish and just making a mess? Are they meant to be used once and binned?

Now I've got some of these microfibre blue pearl applicators, hopefully these will be better. But again, how would I go about cleaning it ready to use again, or is it best not to? Not easy getting polish out of it.

 

I've been using the dual pads lately

Gives you something to hold on to and you can also flip it over pans use the white side if there is a deeper scratch or stubborn mark.

Foam applicators can be used again and again. Mine go in the washing machine at 40 degrees. I guessing yours either wasn't dried properly or got damp or something during strorge and disintegrated. Wash, dry on radiator and they will last for ages.

 

Ok thanks for the info.

Might try one of those dual pads, looks really good

 

Finger pads are good as is the Auto Finesse hand puck for applying polish.

 

Well I've just spent all afternoon washing, claying and then polishing with Tripple and I can confirm its fantastic stuff, smells nice,goes on easy, buffs off easy, absolutely no white residue left on the paint work or any trim, never using AutoGlym again!

I'll just add aswell, I used a clay bar for the first time today and the meguiars quick clay kit is brilliant, best Ł18 I've spent on a car cleaning product.

Quick picture taken on my phone, I'm no David Baily but I think you can see it's done a decent job on silver

 

I used some blue pearl applicators I had in my boot for ages(new) and they were way better than the sponge ones I had before.

What's the procedure for washing all my microfibre buffing towels and pads? Non bio powder/liquid, 40c? Only thing we have is bio powder, is that no good? Seem to remember it has to be non?

 

Non bio and no conditioner - 40c is fine.

 

ok cheers.

But worried about putting them in our washing machine though, I mean do you have to clean the machine/drum afterwards? Seeing as clothes go in there aswell?

 

They be fine in the machine.

 

Just bought some off the back of this thread as I always use super resin polish and it leaves white and doesn't seem to last.

Hopefully this will do a better job

 

It does mate trust me, i did the whole car and i didnt see one spot of white/dust, it just goes on and off so easily and with little effort, also i did it whilst the sun was out with no issues.

Had some nice beading after it rained the other day
