Bored so thought I'd update this. 1 year of ownership and still happy with it. Not done anything to it except general maintenance. Full set of Disks and Pads - £305 2 tyres fitted a while back - £140 2 tyres going on Monday - £140 Service/Mot - £320, Few niggles but no massive issues...

As said Iron X, Iron Out, Dragons Breath etc.

AF is a great company with decent products. Tripple is one of the best products I've used. Lather V2 Imperial Tripple Tough Coat Wax - Optional (How much do you want to spend) All great products and will give you lovely results.

Read up on the stickies to get your technique correct first. 2 buckets Wash mitt Drying towel Lots of Microfibres Applicators Wheel Brush/Woolies Shampoo Wheel cleaner All purpose cleaner Polish Sealant/Wax Tyre Dressing Glass polish Trim dressing Quick Detailer That's my bare essentials...

Will keep an eye on it and keep it well lubed whilst using it, Just hoping it'll speed up things when trying to give a car a good going over in a day.

Is it a brand new car or new to you? You happy to spend a decent amount of time in keeping it looking nice? Rough budget that you want to spend?

Ummmm... Yeah so picked up 2 and couldn't find anything else I wanted in Halfords 3 for 2 so just grabbed another :)

AF also do a decent little tester/starter kit. Do you have any gear/knowledge??

Sales pitch at its finest, I'll cave and get involved :) 1. Ant-Scrooge 2. MatthewR 3. Ado 4. Tim. 5. 182_adam 6. Yellow Dave 7. Coby. 8. 9. 10. Edit - on my phone so not sure if I've messed up the format??

Jamie would suit a Porsche better IMO. Collar popped, Sunglasses on and a nice Porsche cap.... Sorted!!

I think I may have had a bottle if the Britemax before when I wasn't quite so into detailing and even then I remember it being very good, Will look into the costs etc when I have more time.

Might look at the Berry Blast then, I mainly use it as a drying aid but with Summer on the way I'll be using it more as a quick detailer and final wipe down etc.

Anyone??

Not too bad then, £10 for a set of wheels, Brother is toying with buying a new Pro Cee'd GT and with those wheels it'd be good to get some protection on them quickly.

How many wheels are you likely to seal out of 30ml??

MatthewR is the Desirable 100 or 200ml? Was going to put a post up asking about this wax later today :) Rumour mill true about it basically being AF Desire?

Running low on AF Finale... Do I buy another bottle or get something new? What are your recommendations?

Wax looks great Dawn, Nice collection of waxes.

This a good buy? gally I just read a detail you did using it? Still rate it as the detail was in '12.

Have a quick search in this section or read a few of the stickies, Understanding the stages and processes is key before you even get started. Auto Finesse do a sample kit which is quite good, Can you see yourself getting more and more into car cleaning? It can get very expensive and the list...

A rough budget would help.

Tough coat is a spray on wipe off product, iirc Egp was supposed to be left to cure for an hour or so wasn't it? I love TC but as with many products there will be similarities as they are both a sealant.

Did you ever look into this or buy one? Anyone else had experience with them? It's tempting me as some times I just don't have the time to Clay a whole car when I'm doing the odd job in a single day for people and a mitt sounds like it'll speed things up nicely.

Gone even cheaper now as they've sorted it with a UK supplier.

Paint - 12+ months won't come cheap (Regular coats of Hydro2??) Glass - G1 Trim - C4 Tyre - Megs Endurance

Exo V2 maybe?? You'll get good life out of Tough Prep and Tough Coat by AF. You got anything at the moment or will you need to buy everything new??

Hmph!!!! I have a tester pot of Desire I'm yet to try... I'm really regretting not going in for the tester panel :(

Car is looking lovely :) Shame about lack of photos but still looks like you did a great job.
