I've only tried the pink one, its nice!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

think i will just order it, my paintwork isnt that bad, few RDS's and swirls here and there.

the kit dont sound to abrasive

 

[Jay.S]

I used the waxtec today wasn't that impressed with it tbh.

IronX is still the best.

 

[Yellow Dave]

I've used the middle no2 polish and worked nice as a single stage.

The pink finishing polish seemed well lubricated as it wanted to just keep on being worked, but only used it on soft motorbike paint

So had a Waxybox session today.. Found all the products very good, especially the blindtest sealant/QD! It smells lovely and the results are very impressive. I really want to find out what it is..

Anyway, quick shot..

Agree!!

I gave the wheels I was doing a hit with IX afterwards and it removed a load more.

Not the best photo but this is the result of Prima Amigo and the hybrib QD sealant that came in the waxybox.

I'm quite pleased with it.

Looks superb, Dave! Very good indeed. Longevity and beading results will be interesting.

 

[Coby.]

Saw this pic last night thought it might help some.

 

[Adamm.]

Cheers mate, handy that.

Anyone used Menz 203S or RD3.02?

 

[JD]

Yes.

 

[Budgie]

Never understood why you bennies always go on about how a product smells?

Guess that just sums up detailing tbh.

 

[Adamm.]

Yes.

Ignore the 203S

How does RD3.02 on a green pad followed by 106FA on a white pad sound?

Because it adds to the whole experience. Nothing better than sticking you nose in a pot of nice smelling wax and taking a deep breath on a summers afternoon. Or the faint whiff you get as you buff the residue from the paintwork. Try doing that with Collinite and youll be in hospital.

For the RB? Yes, sounds good by DA. Then I'd look at finishing it with a decent pre-wax like Amigo or Tripple either by hand or on a blue pad.


Mike - if a product smells to high heaven (IronX) you're not going to use it that often. If a product makes you want to eat it, I guarantee most would consider using it for the sake of it.

Why does your car in your profile link to a pollen filter?

Didnt know it did. probably the mods being gay.

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah that's it mate was thinking of going over after with with something like Amigo or Ez creme, probably just use the last bit of the tripple up as well. Cheers.

C2V3 500ml came through;

​Ill be applying 1 layer a week. Do you think its excessive?

If I ever meet you, I'll have so many PMs/texts asking me to floor you FFS.

No; it's only excessive if affects the paint and/or it doesn't make financial sense. Money is up to you and C2V3 layered just adds to the looks and won't be detrimental.

I washed my car nearly every day when I was finished with school. Mainly because I was obsessed with it being clean for meets/driving. And it was a good hangover cure.

 

[Cliotoby]

trololol.

Thats not nice

FLOL.

I was in Clapham yesterday.

I was in Clapham yesterday.

I know. I was drunk, pretty much all weekend. Otherwise I was going to suggest meeting for a beer*.







*other non-alcohol related past times are available, folks.

Lot of gayers about. The clubs were packed with them.

was that you making your way into two brewers club yesterday evening?

 

[Jaff.]

Thoughts on this?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CEM-DT-15...d=100011&prg=7906&rk=3&rkt=5&sd=231005692338&

is this going to be a case of brand snobbery? Or will the above do just as good a job?

 

[MatthewR]

Personally I'd rather something tried and tested. Nothing to do with brand snobbery, it's just I don't know how much I'd trust something like that without seeing a few reviews first.

 

[Jaff.]

But it's less than half the price of the next option.

​i understand you can't put a price on a potential respray but even if it gives you some sort of idea it's better than nothing?

 

[MatthewR]

It wilful s always be in the back of my mind, A) what if it breaks and I have to buy another. b) cost of re spray when it gives false readings.

Had a chat with Richard at Waxybox, hes given us this offer for 3-month subscriptions -

"A current £50 box works out at £14.16 plus pnp, your boxes are £11 plus pnp, which would make it £40.50 for three months 1st class, or £40 to round it down."

This is the absolute minimum he can go to, anyone up for this?

Will get a thread up if people are keen.

 

[Coby.]

Yes definitely.

Great work again

Really good deal and probably works out quite a lot of stuff!

 

[Adamm.]

I want to but I really shouldn't, hard to say no at that price though.
