recommend me a wax!

[clio_greg]

just read richs' guide and saw about using carnauba wax after using sealant for a better finish. anyone recommend one?

 

[Joeh]

personaly id go for dodo juice, iv got some light fantastic which is for white and light couloured cars, but you can find out which is best for your cars colour on detailing world or when you go to buy it will tell you what its called
awsome stuff, costs £32 though but well worth it imo

 

[Si]

loving my viccys concours wax at the mo. used p21s before (think it's changed name now?) either of those are good and not too pricey

 

[oz_clio]

im keen on getting some victorias concours, meant to be a good carnauba.

although it is what you asked for technically, Collinite 476 is great

 

[clio_greg]

^ different numbers and shizz confuse me! a mate bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTOSMART-PRO...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 said the stuffs brilliant. his paintwork was like glass afterwards! anyone else ever used it?

But on a serious note..

Pete's 53' signature carnuba works rather well on blacks, blue's and darker colours from http://www.carwashnwax.com/ @ £23 its a bargain, you also get 10% off for being a CS member.

 

[clio_greg]

^ ideal mate. whats the discount code?

 

[Alan]

I think its still ClioSport mate, if not email David @ wash n wax, tell him Alan from CS sent you.

 

[clio_greg]

code works fine bud. cheers for that!

 

[Alan]

Ah nice one, did you order anything else?

 

[Ali]

A singed picture of the bear with new look trim gel all over his chest.

 

[Alan]

Oh aye, holding a snowfoam nozzle in a suggestive way.

 

[clio_greg]

^ wtf lol gonna order that and some decent tyre dressing on payday :approve:

[clio_greg]

^ was waitin on that tbh!

awaits jordan's photo of me grinning with said wax . . .

 

[JD]

on a more serious note, as a beginner i would go for either collinites or what use to be called p21s, now r222, as they are easy on, easy off and give a great finish.

[JD]

and arent that expensive.

 

[maximinimus]

It's all personal choice TBH, some people will defend dodo to the death, others zymol etc. The best advice would be to buy a few samplers and give them a try on different panels.

 

[JD]

^^^ good advice in all honesty, all detailing is down to personal experience after taking other's advice.

i love natty's blue, price, ease of use, looks on my paint, and smell

p21s was a good all rounder, others i have tried didnt live up to expectations so have stuck by those above.

I liked the nattys blue on my RB, gives a nice wet shine and is really easy to remove. I gave AutoGlym HD a try when I got a pot for ~£20 and it gives about the same look at the nattys paste, maybe a bit more shiny but lasts a couple of months longer.

ah now that is interesting, i saw some on offer the other day. that is the only thing with nattys, not that i mind, but i replenish it roughly every four weeks (srp egp/jeffs and wax)

recommend the AGHD then?

jamie

 

[maximinimus]

Very much so, it's a little harder to buff than the poorboys but the results are brilliant on RB.

 

[JD]

interesting, might purchase some for spring/summer trials before shows etc, cheers lad
