did the car the other day, couldn"t polish (washbox owner was lurking around, he doesn't like ppl hanging about too long), so I limeprimed it, followed by prima amigo and Dodo supernatural....and now my arms hurt..:tongueclosed:
have used purple haze pro before, and actually though it looked better on my car (arctic)

sooo...what do I need:
- a wax, something that lasts and is easy to apply by hand and gives a insane gloss
- a wqashing mitt...mine basically fell apart
- a QD, heard good things about Sonax BSD? and Bouncers D&D
- a trim detailer that'll last about 4 months

I can only wash the car about once a month, so wanna keep it looking good as easy as possible.

Wax - I love Britemax Vantage at the minute.
Mitt - CarPro is still one of the best in believe
QD - Not tried it but D&D going from the reviews of those on here I trust.
Trim - AF Revive

Few better options out there maybe but for ease and an unknown budget I'll list these.

Washbox?

Auto finesse revive is a great trim dressing. If you prep the plastic first it'll last a few month and still look blacker than when you started even after its worn away.

Sonax bsd is brilliant.

A box with a high pressure cleaner every carwash usually has a few.
I try to go there on a weekday if possible so it'll be quiet...the guys there even let me use the electricity if the boss isn't around.

Try some Hyrdo2lite . Fantastic stuff , beads as good as any wax I've used . This pic was taken about 15 mins ago . The car was last washed over 3 weeks ago . Someone at work last night actually commented on it and asked if I'd just washed it . It's probably one of the easiest products you'll ever use . Wash your car , spray on then power wash off . Job done .

Looks nice mate....i read a lot of good stuff about carpro.
How is the shine?
Its very shiny , considering it hasn't seen any polish / wax products since last November . Like i said previously , one of the guys at work asked if I'd just washed the car . It's a must have product imo .

How many uses will I get out of 100ml of Hyrdo2? Tempted to take the plunge but not sure how cost-effective it is over summer.

100ml at 5:1 mate. I imagine 5 coats. 2 months at least per coat.

Cheers gally, from the videos I've seen it looks like two or three sprays per panel...would you agree with this? Also I assume it's ok to put it on top of wax? Or is it pointless putting wax on first?

Wax or no wax is irrelevant mate. It's just an amazing product. I used to use it on a car full of tar and unpolished. It lasted 4 months.

Even just watching that video again blows my mind.

Class, I've got the whole day tomorrow, was going to decon with TRIX, rewax and then seal with Hyrdo2.

Cheers for your help

Hydro2 Lite is just pre-diluted Hydro2. Up to you whether you want to dilute it yourself or buy it already done.
