gt4tosupra Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Jeez that's far too expensive. This is what I have atm. Liquid wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Jeez that's far too expensive. This is what I have atm. Liquid wax Thats Crap stuff , HD Wax is relatively cheap but $$ if you get it in Halfords ; I have my tub over 2 years now and about fraction into it. I use it every 2 months , it is very hard wearing and the finish is excellent. I have yet to come across a better wax, with regards durability, shine, ease of application I get it for 45 euro, you get 2 applicator pads and a buffing cloth I have used alot of waxes , even my mates Zymol 3K sterling per 300ml lol If you want to go cheaper get some Chemical guys Black light / or Jet seal 109 (Jet seal will return a more duller appearance than black light but is a better sealant); Just because Chemical guys can be cheaper , it does not meant it is bad stuff, It is just as good if not better If I really want the car to pop, I would use chemical guys black light and V7 Hybrid , as you see in the Pics below For value for money and ease of application plus quality of products Chemical Guys is fairly hard to beat but Auto glym SRP (super resin polish) And HD wax are two of the best products out there In between waxing I just V7 Hybrid to top up the sealant and shine on the car , regardless if I use Auto glym or Chemical guys products on her. Auto Glym SRP (Super Resin Polish) is fantastic for filling in swirls in your cars paint work If you go to the bother of waxing the car , dont forget to use a wax safe shampoo when you wash your car next, if you are using the local garage shampoo, you will more than likely strip the wax. It is a very strong detergent watered down, I remember one of the garages forgot to water it down and it stripped the paint, imagine what that will do to you nicely waxed car Zymol , auto Glym Body shampoo are some examples of wax safe shampoo's Chemical guys Black light & V7 Hybrid Auto Glym SRP (Super Resin Polish) & HD Wax Edited July 31, 2014 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt4tosupra Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Nice. I think I have negated the use for srp, which I do actually have but never use, cos I have properly got rid of the swirls with the g3. The chemical guys looks good tho, think I'll get some of that. As for shampoo, I have meguiars gold class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for shampoo, I have meguiars gold class SRP is a polish, it acts as a filler too if you have swirls but you dont need to have any , also the new SRP formula is not as dusty or hard to wipe off So normal stages are , wash, Glaze or Polish , Sealant and or Wax For you wheels , HD wax is excellent as it is durable Chemical guys products are ral ease to apply and remove , unlike the current wax you are using. You will be wondering why you where breaking your arm all these years putting that on / off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
