SRP question

[m4rkie23]

managed to get the 1st SRP coat of the year on yesterday.
how many coats is best (realistically) before EGP and aquawaxin?

or is it just a case of the more the merrier.

 

[Beas]

I always put just one layer on. Theres on reson why you cant put a few layers on but i dont think it makes much difference. Aslong as you work it in nice should be all good. EGP brings the paint a treat though, ive also found that a good wax after EGP brings the shine up even better!

 

[Gally]

Layers of srp will most likely take the layers underneath off.
Layers of egp over srp will work. Followed by a decent wax.

 

[m4rkie23]

kewl. ill give it one more SRP next time then. and a nice EGP. then another coat or 2 of EGP the next few times, and then an aquawax. cheers guys!

and yeah the paint is looking sweet!!!!

SRP is a polish , i would use two coats. There is a good guide on DW about it. Dont use too much as it will cake on.

 

[m4rkie23]

2 it is =D

i reali need to sign up for DW. problem is i fear it will consume my life and i will evolve into a obsessive cleaning freak....i mean more than i already am......AHHH

 

[riz]

nah you wont its full of nerds and they all bum of each others products

 

[guysy]

Try SRP > EGP x2 (hours curing time in between) > Aquawax.

Ive done the same but with poorboys wax instead of aqua and had good results.

 

[m4rkie23]

^^^ yeah thats the plan!! just want a reeali nice day now.

 

[Alan]

Hmm i don't really believe in layering SRP, best using it on freshly washed and clayed paint then finishing with a good, wax like Swissvax ONYX, p21S or megs #16 mirror glaze..

 

[riz]

i only say do it twice not for actual layering just to make sure you havent missed a spot.

Thats how i roll

 

[Ali]

You don't layer SRP!.

 

[Gally]

You don't layer SRP!.

How come 3 scots in this thread have spoken with sense!

 

[riz]

im nae scot... lol

 

[Gally]

im nae scot... lol

Exactly!

 

[m4rkie23]

ok. in that case. no more SRP for me then.

 

[alex-avfc]

Just make sure when you use it that you really work it in, til its like a clear residue left rather than aiming to spread it like a coat or layer

 

[Alan]

ok. in that case. no more SRP for me then.

No no...continue to use it by all means mate but no need to layer a resin based product.

That's how I've always done mine...comes up a right treat...

wash clay srp
wash srp
wash egp
wash egp
wash egp wax

over a couple of weeks/days depending on the weather...

have you used the aqua-wax before? I found it ok but as it's the only wax I've used I'm sure there is some better stuff out there..

As for EGP, toss it in the bin..hideous product, chem guys blitz or jet seal blow it right out of the water.

I'll give them a go...my egp is running low so will need replacing soon...

 

[alex-avfc]

I've delved into some Blitz now off Ali's reccomendation lol.

Whats the durability like? Not had chance to have a go yet

EGP is archaic its so old and is a pain to use, but does last ages!

He started using blitz after me LOL..its not quite as durable as EGP but because its easier to use you can use it more often, better finish too IMO.

 

[alex-avfc]

I see...you pair like you're chem guys stuff dont ya

So just layer it up and wax on top I guess then

 

[riz]

BLitz is above average in terms of longevity. Cant touch Jeffs Carnaube sealant tbh. IO have both

 

[Rich]

Blitz and Jetseal are both as durable as a chocolate tea pots ! EGP is a bind to use but will easily outlast them both. Werksatt Acrylic Jet for me, EGP durability but with only 5 mins to do a whole car !

As for layering SRP, no benefit at all, each layer will remove the last, 2 coats will ensure you have not missed anywhere though.

 

[m4rkie23]

cheers rich.
ill use the EGP lol. im not guna bin something i havent used yet.

 

[RBHynes]

Werksatt Acrylic Jet: unbelievable finish, I used this on mine at the weekend and couldnt believe the finish & it takes bugger all time to apply.

Good shout that rich.

 

[Ali]

Detailing is a funny thing.

I've seen rich's work, i've seen Alan's work, hell i've seen clarke's work...All list diff products..

Which do you go for? - Which ever you feel works for you. End of.

By the was EGP is s**t! lol

 

[RichCup]

Personally I'm quite keen on carlack nano care with 476s on at the moment, seems to be pretty durable and looks awesome!

As said, one layer of SRP. Work it in a 1' square area for about 1 minute then buff off.

 

[Ali]

tbh SRP isn't great. I'd far rather use a glaze. Clearkote for example.

 

[riz]

NAh SRP as it would leave a better base for other products rather then a glaze. AJR motorsport my arse...lol

CArlack is same as Jeffs IIRC

 

[Rich]

Carlack, Jeffs Primes, Klasse AIO, all basically the same thing.

Can't really compare a Glaze to SRP both have a different purpose.

 

[Gaz_]

I love the srp/egp combo, the haters are mainly from battered mars bar country, its never dry enough to let it cure for an hour up there anyhoo

Tried some Carlack for a quick once over at the weekend, quite rate that also tbh, left a nice gloss for an hours flick over....
