Firstly a thanks to @Auto Finesse to be on the testing panel for such products, I'm not one of the advanced detailers - but I do love a clean car.
With my plethora of basic products alongside Auto Finesse Satin and Spirit, I used Rapid Dirt Shifter on the panels as previously I haven't used any LSP, so I clean base.
Pre-wash
I then rinsed the car down, previously I left this to dwell for too long.
I then went onto clean the wheels.
I used Auto Glym Custom Wheel Cleaner on tyres and rims, as to apply AF Satin on a clean base.
50/50 after agitated with stiff brush.
After.
Then Shampoo'd 2BM
Then I removed fall out using Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels, then clayed the car with some 3M medium clay.
After Rinse & Drying
Then used Poorboys Black Hole as a pre-wax cleanser/glaze, I applied this via machine. Smells addictive, plus so nice to buff off as the results are really nice!
Then sealed that off with AG Extra Gloss Protection.
Whilst that was curing/hazing I decided to put on my new rear number plate holder and new LED Bulb
Before
After
I then applied a layer of Satin on 2 wheels N/S, I wanted to achieve a high gloss, as advised I needed to put on 3 layers of Satin to do so.
This would be against Auto Glym Instant Tyre Shine.
Then wax time, I've rarely used any wax before other than Meg's Liquid Wax and some crappy Carplan carnauba wax to protect polished headlights. So I purchased a wax applicator, Spirit went on with ease just sometimes a little hard to see what area I'd covered. I used the reflection of a light to help out, after finding the optimum way to apply it, a little bit went very far. I did 2 layers of Spirit and 2 further layers of Satin. Here are the results.
Love that shot ^^
Instant Tyre Shine not too good.
None of the Satin as yet.
--------------------------------
A week later - Satin and Spirit are simply awesome worth that little extra over the products which I use.
I then used RDS again, after that Spirit still beading its ass off.
Comments welcome as I'm on newbie to this lark.
Mat.
