Auto Finesse Glaze + Essence test 200T and 182



  182
Hi

Once again thanks to Auto Finnesse for the two samples "Ultra Glaze" and "essence wax".

Managed to test this on two different cars in two different conditions, please excuse the pictures its really hard to get a close up lol:eek:


Yesterday thanks to Badbuzz2 he gave me his 200T to give a good clean and test the new products;)

instead of putting 55 pictures of the cleaning process i have captioned the few around the new products (another thread with the rest in to follow).

So ultra glaze gave it a bloddy good shake as it had seperated then popped it open and got hit with the smell of furniture polish.

I had washed, iron out , rinsed , de-tar'd , rinsed , clayed , washed , dried , then Trippled and was left with this

It was hot yesterday so was a bit nervous of using glaze as it says not to let cure and wipe away excess .so i put a pea sized bit on a pad and done small areas which was applied then wiped off after 10 seconds.

Then once wiped off it added to the gloss massively i found which on a dark colour car is needed.

Very impressed.


Onto the wax "essence" it smells like a sweeter version of temptation, it is very very soft i found.

Only problem i found with essence is you cannot see where you have applied as it seems to dry clear! but goes along way, one dab on an applicator done the whole of the spoiler easily. As you can see in the picture you can't even see i have applied it

Due to the warmth i only let it cure for a few mins and it came off with ease probably the most easy off AF wax i have used.

Continued to do the same on the whole car and this is the result.

Three Pea sized blobs of glaze on the applicator done the whole bonnet.

Left glaze till it was stogie to the finger but not dry, wiped away to give a great wet look

Wax was only two dabs to the pot to cover the whole bonnet, but once again the pics do not show.

I left it today for 30 mins before removing in which was really easy to get off. So it Buffed off to leave an awesome shine! better than Ilussion imo.

Can anyone do a 50/50 with the glaze to show it's filling ability? Shiny pictures aren't really helping.

This.... I need a Glaze and if this looks good it'll be what I order, At the minute I'm swaying towards AM Details Glaze.
 
MartinR can you take a photo of the sheet of instructions so I can see it? Interested about hand and machine use in comparison to Triple and didn't get a sheet in my goodie box.

I feel slightly stupid... I glanced at my desk before I left on Thursday and saw it folded up. Thought it was the imperial one!!

Thanks though mate :)
