yes , but id look for a wheel sealant or something thats more durable

JD · May 27, 2009

FFS. There is a reason that the Dodo died out!! Lol.

Agree with the above but for Noobs I would say P21s (now called R222).

Wheels needs something like Poorboy's Wheel Seal, or just simple SRP and EGP.

cheers guys. so whats the difference between EGP and a wax?

JD · May 27, 2009

EGP is harder wearing and a paint sealent.

A wax is purely for looks I tend to find.

Firas · May 27, 2009

so is egp a substitute for wax in terms of its paint protective ability? also is there any danger to the paint applying srp and egp 2-3 times a week?

do you think so?? I always feel it does give bit more shine and a slightly wetter look but the overall shine and depth depends entirely on the polishing side??

its a sealant but should be topped with a wax to hold it all in

Don't do SRP and EGP more than once a month, no need. I top up wax every couple of weeks and re SRP and EGP every couple of months with the machine.

I no longer like EGP that much. Seen some shots against CG Blitz that the Highlander recommended. Big difference. EGP can be yellowy and be a b**ch to take off wheels when you can't see it.

EGP grips fine without a wax on top. Wax is added protection/beadage/shine.

Paul. · May 27, 2009

i dont use egp either tbh. Think its a waste of time:dead:

Rich always used to reccomend Jeffs Acryllic spray sealant (available from Polished Bliss). Would go fine over the SRP due to being acryllic, good on silver, easy to use and lasts well apparantly

captain_chaos · May 27, 2009

i like chemical guys blitz on silver - dead easy to use as well

I second the CG Blitz... so easy to apply and buff off. Gets the flakes popping nicely too!

Shame it looks so plain

BREMBO · May 28, 2009

Love the AG polish, get the purple Megauirs tyre dressing for halfrauds and personally think glass polish is pointless matey.

You b**ch! :dapprove:

TARDis in the eyes for you at FCS lol.

JD · May 28, 2009

Haha. If you can find me!

"JD?"

Coby. · May 28, 2009

CG Blitz it is for me then when my EGP runs out.... R222's is a good all round wax but I think I will try something else when it runs out

PB Wheel Sealant is a Good shout and seems to do the trick on my Wheels as still no Brake Dust sticking

Sym0n · May 28, 2009

Can't be that many living on The Edge. I'll just ask every man, woman and child I meet.

"Excuse me madam are you JD?"

Coby. · May 28, 2009

There are pictures of Lord JD from his many detailing threads Symon

Bought some after mine ran out, just bought two more bottles. Very good stuff, good it's so much better than EGP!

His Facefuck profile has led me to believe that he looks like this:

Are my dreams going to be crushed?

Coby. · May 28, 2009

He has much bigger forearms than that JD

I find Dodo juice light fantastic, looks good on my iceberg.

Ads_172 · May 30, 2009

FFS. JD=permanent need.

I like SRP, Jeffs Acrylic and then R222 - gives a nice glossy finish but the Jeffs gets the flake popping nicely.

-J- · May 31, 2009

Another one for Jeffs Acrylic here, great stuff!

JR · May 31, 2009

4 layers of jeff's ftw

I saw this and thought of you...and your forearms. :rasp:

Christophe · Jun 2, 2009

I use jeffs acrylic aswell and works well. But think i might get cg blitz once it runs out to see the difference. Thing is on silver its very hard to notice difference between products
