I remember you saying this, but Sonax, C2V3, Carbon and Glasur have not been affected.
You fail, both in life and in tagging me. It never works. Muhahaha.
Neat.
Yep.

going on from JD's post in a seaparate thread in reference to using gloss and/or wax enhancing shampoo's:
I'm still undecided if this is good or bad. Going to the effort for prep of applying a nano sealant for their extra protection and improved water behaviour leading to the coating keeping iteslf cleaner, is it not going to have a negative affect on the coating by using a shampoo that leaves something behind?
It's been a while since I've used a shampoo that does this, but thought it always best to use a bare plain shampoo.
looking more into the likes of wolfs chemicals, Gyeon and nanolex produce shampoos that leave something behind, some claiming to improve durability or water behaviour. Surely the coating is only going to perform as well as what is left behind by the shampoo?

In a hard water area that's the last thing I want.

G5 for lower speed driving. But "only" lasts 6-12 months rather than the 18-24 of G1.
ok so g5 is my best bet then, especially as it's easier to apply if i've read correctly?
Sounds like it pal :thumbs:

Werkstat Acrylic for flake pop. Presume it's metallic?

That'll see you right. Slick looks and lasts well once a few layers are applied. Spray on a MF applicator, wipe across surface, wait to haze, buff off. Couldn't be more simple!

Got my order arrive todayso am I right in thinking most people dilute C2v3? what ratio?
Use it neat to use as a sealant and iirc along the lines of 3:1 to dilute as a QD.
I need to strip my car back and get this on mine soon, Had a bottle sitting in my collection for a little while now.
Diluting C2v3 you say?
Did a bit of a clean up on my old BG swirl bus today.
First "proper" wax I bought was natty's blue paste and I've barely used it since (2 years ago ish)... Went back to it today for some cheap coverage and laid down 3 layers over rejuvenate and black hole. Scrubbed up lovely and I forgot just how easy the natty's is to work with.

I spent about 5 hours cleaning the wife's Cmax today.
Snow foamed and then washed using TBM. I then used iron x all over, jet washed and washed again.
Polished whole car using Meguiars ultimate polish and then another going over with Prima amigo.
I only managed to wax the bonnet, roof and boot lid before it started pissing down.
My question is, if I want to wax the rest of the car tomorrow could I get away using a quick detailer and then wax? Or should I wash the car again?
Bearing in mind it's only the wife's battle bus.

I'm really pleased with the results. It was absolutely mingling before. Only thing letting it down now is the wheels. Standard kerb'd alloys from my wife's epic driving abilities.

Its great on a sliver car, i have it for mine.
With C2V3 over the top.

I've only got the Meg's polish and Prima amigo so need to invest in something a little more abrasive. Not really sure what to go for tbh. What's a good one to use with a DA mate?
Hexlogic pads and Menzerna.
Great combos. Clio paint is pretty hard but for basic polishing, White pad and 106fa is so easy to use.
3 dots, spread at speed 1 for a few seconds to coat the area, 3 dots again turn speed to 5 and do slow passes working the polish.
Brilliant finish.
