I doubt you'll need to clay then after having it done so recently, but there is no right or wrong time to do it, just whenever you feel it would benefit from having it done.
What, using a tar remover? Use it every time you strip a wax back to clean up the paint. It's quicker and easier to use, and less likely to cause any marring than using clay, plus it will help reduce the need to clay the paint. But only you washing the car will be able to tell when it wearing...
Just discovered bilt hamber are Essex based. Another reason to give them a go, their laboratory is even closer
Never got a chance to use the strata coating before the weather turned. Next spring hopefully
In this type of weather it will have started to where off and dirt may begin to bond. You should notice it's not as easy to wash and won't come up quite as clean. If this is the case best to strip it back and re apply rather than top more wax/ sealant over a dirty base. Wash the car as usual...
Never tried layering them, think it was orange crush and rainforest rub I was using at the time. Opened my eyes to what it's like to enjoy using a wax.
Thanks for the offer lawro, will test my sample alongside a few other general waxes and see how long it lasts. If it's half decent I'll more...
Get the impression vantage is one if those where you need the full size pot to get the full experience. Can be found for £25 for a full 200ml pot, trying to come up with reasons why I shouldn't buy it
Tried the Sonax turbo detailer also, much nicer to use than BSD but still doesn't leave a slick...
Had a play with some products today with @Kyle 86
Tried a sample of britemax vantage wax, incredible firm wax but once worked into the applicator it was very oily and easy to spread, quite deceptive. Still undecided on it
Washed my car down wearing 2 month old Sonax polymer net shield and it...
It would be better if you can find a way to not need to clay often.
Get your paint well protected with a wax or sealant. Before it wears off completely and allows dirt and grime to bond properly, strip it back and reapply, whilst doing this use a tar remover as this will help to remove a lot...
they can be very slow at processing orders and sending them out, but then they can be as good as the best retailers. its the mixed level of service that puts some people off
As above, hopefully its a bitumen based product so a tar and glue remover will hopefully be able to dissolve the spots. If you need something from a retail store, look in Halfords for Autoglym intensive tar remover. Apply to a microfibre, and gently wipe over the affected areas until it starts...
followed by a rinse with the pressure washer they will remove a fair bit of grime, but it's far from a clean finish afterwards and will always require a proper wash. but it also helps to soften the bond of dirt and the paint so making it easier to wash anyway
