Product testers wanted!

Yes. But that's the point. They'll have optical enhances in them, with AF tripple being one of the best I've tried, for gloss and ease of use.
There is only so much shine you can achieve with a perfected paint. Lacking swirls and contaminants is fine. More shine = more optical enhancers.
Give amigo or tripple a go next time, post polishing, pre LSPing. Guarantee you'll be wowed.
You know it comes with Rejuvinate?

Applicators, new microfibres ordered.
Dodo Supernatural hybrid on standby to do the 50:50 with.
AF, are there a number of coats you would specifically like, how often would you strip and put another coat on, how often would you like us to report back and when do you want a final piece?

I think that's down to you, fella.
Cribert, if James and the team have supplied rejuvenate, I'm willing to bet that's the base they want, but would be happy to a comparison to other product bases.

Thought as much. Don't want to supply data which is useless to them.
I think I'm going to do, wash (DJ supernatural), clay (bilthammer soft and DJ born slippy), prewax (revive) and then 2 coats of my normal wax and AF. I wash my car weekly so am after tips on how often I should reapply another coat and how often to strip it and rewax.

That'll be part of the testing and reporting, chap. How does this wax stand up to daily drivers, look on garage queens, protect cars that sit in industrial units and are subjected to large amounts of fallout etc.
Re topping up, up to you, but I tend to top up a decent wax (Carbon for example) every three months, after a wash and initial 2-3 layer application. Strip down every 6. But it depends on what this wax is aimed at. Shows/looks where it'll last a matter of a few months, or longevity, 3-6 months.
Is there any left?
Just collecting my my new car today and will be doing a proper detail on it (as good as I can do any how) so will have a perfect base to do the tests with.... Will be on a mercedes in tansanite blue which has lots of metallics and pearl in it.... Can also compare with sealants ifrequired and also have many other af products to use with it....

List of lucky testers on the previous page, Malice.
I'm going to run it with Rejuvenate and Tripple on the roof of mine.
Already got Zymol Vintage and C2v3 on the bonnet!

Similar Andy; Tripple with Carbon'd roof, C2V3 rest of car with Sonax top ups on certain areas to test beading and looks... real mix, so might strip down fully at Scrooges at some point, but will defo be testing over a few glazes and in comparison to other LSPs.

I'm looking forward to this. I've been looking for a reason to give mine a good going over, now it's getting colder it's just the wash stage I don't enjoy..
Ant, when's wax-day?

But after 2 years do AF really need people testing Spirit? Or does it suit both parties.
"That Spirit was really good i'll buy a big pot". Call me a cynic.
Be great to hear peoples thoughts none the less.
I just feel the range isn't special enough, maybe it's the pots or the fact there are too many waxes. Performance wise Spirit is worth it but these days I think waxes need to feel special aswell as perform well.

I'm not going to bed with it Kev, I'm putting it on my motor, I don't care if it feels special, just if it works well and lasts the test of time
I don't expect anyone to agree, was merely my opinion of some waxes. It only a wax right enough, maybe I should get out more.
That's what makes Zymol attractive. Their waxes are far from the best and they are old school in nature, but... they have that feeling. I love SV shield, I even applied it to my Frp under Glasur. Glasur was a nightmare in comparison but I still loved it.

Amazed people don't read threads from the start before commenting. "Me me me me!" - ya, this is a group buy from 1975, Austin Powers and Faja.

Spirit is a good performing wax, it just doesn't hit that spot in comparison to some in a similar price range. Don't leave it on too long before buffing off, although probably won't be too much of an issue this time of year
Dave - Rob, Ant and I will probs do a day at The Unit with this stuff. Keep an eye out and we can clean the Golf as well
Has everyone missed this post then and presumed I was just being funny?
