Quick Beading shots. A couple more coats and it will be better.

f**k paying £45 upwards for some wax.

Think what you spend on say, a pair of shoes, a night out, a few take away's a month...some coin on a quality pot of wax isn't a bad investment considering you'll get more than one use out it.

So as a student with no job, I should spend £45 on a pot of wax? And I didn't buy the kit anyway.

 

[RussZS]

The Colli should bead like a trooper tbh - are those shots just from Carlack?

I just did some of my car with Cleaner Fluid Medium, BOS x 2 and Zymol Field Glaze... £200 of gear but OMG...!! So Alan does have a point, but it's not TEN times better than Colli - depends how into detailing you are I guess...

No. They are with collinite. The beading was better yesterday, but now it's covered in dust and shite it's not as good.

 

[RussZS]

Couple of coats should sort that anyway

Yeah, just needs to build up. Gaz only applied it lightly, with the weather not being totally s**t.

When i was a student i had a part time job, gave me nuff paypa for partyin and spending on a whole load of detailing products which in turn made me more money from doing other peoples cars..

 

[The Boosh!]

screwed up with the collonite last week though, i put FAR too much on. Took me about 1 hour to get it all off

I had a job. I was made redundant.

Sorry to hear that, hope you find another.

Yea i think if you layer the carlack with 2 or 3 layers and then the same with the collies you should be much better off and then just keep layering the collies if you can.

 

[RussZS]

The Carlack is a cleaner/sealant (AIO), so it cannot be layered as each successive layer will remove the last... maybe do it twice to ensure consistent and even coverage, but any more is a waste!

Cleaned it again today for the Ladybower meet tomorrow, and just put another layer of collinite on. It was beading quite nicely just washing the car, took no effort at all.

 

[Yellow Dave]

So does the Carlack completely replace using Ag SRP / EGP combination? Does it act as a polish / cleanser and sealant all in one?

I'm already using the 476 and highly recommend it, but it would be easy applying one coat of Carlack instead of SRP then multiple layers of EGP

 

[Steve]

Got 476 & 845, find 845 easier.

 

[Soph]

Dave - Carlack is a cleaner/sealant. AFAIK it has no polishing qualities, although I'm sure someone who actually knows about detailing will tell you.

 

[RussZS]

It contains no abrasives so will not correct paintwork and doesn't contain fillers - kust a damn good cleaner which leaves a sealant layer behind

 

[Yellow Dave]

So in theory for a full detail of wash, then clay, SRP, followed by the carlack and then the 476 wax?

For most intermediate washes I wash, QD spray, then top up with 476 wax?

 

[RussZS]

Nope, because Carlack will remove the SRP - use SRP if you want to fill swirls, otherwise use the Carlack

[Soph]

So you'd have to use an abrasive polish, then the carlack.

 

[RussZS]

Yes, if you want to correct. Ideally machine polished with a rotary or DA with an appropriate compound. That said, you could argue you wouldn't need the Carlack layer

Might just help take any few remaining bits of dirt off? Surprising how mucky the applicator was even though the car had been thoroughly washed.
