Bargain AF Tripple



  Fiesta ST3
Illusion is apparently a lovely wax to use, however it isn't very durable. It's purely a show wax.

You will get plenty of applications (20-30, maybe more), you don't need a lot, especially when used with a proper applicator.

There are probably better waxes out there for a first wax. Vics concours, Zymol carbon or one of the Dodo Juice waxes, they'll all offer ease of use + durability which you'll be after.

PB say durability is 2 months + which is not bad for a show/summer wax

then in winter use a hard wearing one like Fusso/FK1000p/476s or others

2 months in the height of summer would be achievable. It didn't last long on my bonnet though. Great test bed for anything.

Possibly considering illusion. Would be my first proper wax would people advise it's safe for a first proper wax?
also can I expect good results using tripple before hand on sunflower yellow paint?
(sorry for novice questions!)

EDIT: how long dose a pot usualy last of this size on a small/medium size car (typically be only on my Clio!)

Thanks,
Adam

I took the piss with illusion yesterday; spooned it on and left it to cure for a comically long time in the sun, and it still came off with relative ease. It's fairly foolproof.

And ive ive had decent results with triple by hand, you just need to work it for a while.

Its aswell some of you actually got your products to try. I got an email this morning.

Auto Finesse HCOD250 Hide Leather Conditioner

Auto Finesse TRI250 Tripple All-in-One Polish

Unfortunately, due to delivery restrictions on such items, we wont be able to send you this item and have cancelled it from your order. This is because this item contains flammable, pressurised, corrosive, environmentally hazardous or otherwise harmful substances classified as dangerous goods under the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air.

Although the amount of these substances in these products is usually quite limited, these products need to be transported in a certain way to ensure that they are handled with care and are therefore assigned to a specialist carrier. Unfortunately this means that we cant dispatch this to any destination outside of mainland UK.

I also ordered Auto Finesse HLC HIDE LEATEHR CLEANSER (its been despatched ok) as like a 2 part process i'd be doing along with the leather conditioner, But what is the point now as one product is no good without the other??

Received mine, the citrus power spray had leaked a bit, not sure how as the silver foil seal was still on, but can't grumble at the price I paid for everything.

Pearce you said you fancied desire or desirable. Nows your chance to get desire.

Great price if your in the market for some desire.

ive gone all out and ordered both illusion and desire, think thats it for me interms of Wax for a while :D

Autofinesse temptation wax @ £18. This will be my first wax so I want to keep price low so this would be a trial for myself. Is it any good? Heard its a nightmare to remove though...

If you don't want to break the bank Connor I'd suggest getting over to AMDetails store and purchase a sample pot (30ml) of their wax. Only £10 currently

Just had a look at the suggestion, 30ml will be enough for a couple of coats do you reckon? Thanks for the suggestion, I just don't fancy spending a good amount of money on wax just yet, would rather trial applying it and seeing how well it works. Would you take AM Wax 30ml over the temptation then as £8 more is fine.
