Not intending to sound rude, but if you read it you wouldn't need to ask. It will allow you to ask more in depth questions about the product.

Maybe you haven't read the thread I linked. Over a years protection from one application , and all it took was a rinse with a citrus wax safe pre wash and a detailing brush and they came up spotless, no tar spots, no brake dust. Still looking glossy like it had just been applied.

I forgot about victoria waxes, another good suggestion if durability isn't a high rewuiremeu

Finishkare 1000 or collinites 476s for super durability but not the nicest to use or leave a rich glossy finish. poorboys nattys blue or red for ease of use but not the most durable. ​or check out 2nd hand pots for a bargain.

GTechniq C5 wheel armour, £20 - £25 will do enough for 6x 17" wheels http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?683018-Why-you-should-use-a-decent-wheel-sealant ​

As with any choice, what do you want from your wax? long durability but not the nicest / easiest to use. Easy to use but not quite as durable?

You guys referring to C2, as C3 was their spray wax that I didn't think was available anymore

Does anyone know the benefits bar the authorised detailer, over the standard or UK versions? What is the additional cost of using finest?

Menzerna polishes and chemical guys hexlogic pads a a good and cheap combo

For a one touch all in one, tripple, srp, or have a look at britemax AIO max or blackmax. All work well just depends on your budget

How would you go about doing that? remap or mechanical alteration?

GT water behaviour is very good, much better than the majority of sealants.

Toughcoat does not get dusty, if it does you are using FAR TOO MUCH! A normal panel will require one spray of product onto the applicator and wiped round the panel, by the time you've done half a car a small front wing won't require any extra added to the applicator. A bonnet or roof might...

G5 is easy to apply, you just don't have to wait 15minutes to apply additional layers as required with G1. If you have some C1.5 or C2 spray sealants these work well on glass but obivously won't last quite as long as G5, but so simply to spray on, buff and wipe off. Ref SRP Vs' Tripple, there...

Not used carlack, but I couldn't fault G5 though, hardly used any to coat all windows either so a little bottle will last quite a while.

Everyone has a bottle, try autoglym super resin polish with a microfibre cloth. If that doesn't improve it then more than likely it's damaged the clearcoat and will need a proper correcting compound used by machine

I'm happy to give you a hand to do it but wouldn't want to go at somebody else's car in a day on my own. Do you have any experience with correction?

I just can't understand how this product will still bond and perform outstandingly without affecting the sub-base. it still performs for many months over a less than ideal base like waxes or tripple etc?

More worrying would be the backing plate making contact with the panel at 3000rpm whilst you're applying pressure. ​not even T-cut could get those marks out.

Scholl seemed to work well on a da, it used them in rotary. Daniel, I damp the pads then work a little washing up liquid into the face then thoroughly rinse. try not to leave to soak as I've heard with some pads it can soften the glue to the backing Velcro. Never had it happen but wouldn't...

Looks impressive, is it any better than illsuion and a wipe down with a QD after washing? be curious to know if C2 will keep that high glossy wet look of the wax

Oblitarate for me has been as good as Tardis, just more expensive. blue 3m will be fine. Are you using rotary or da? If da maybe have a look at the Scholl pads, they will be on my next order

have a look at the renovo products. http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Convertible_and_Soft_Top_Care_1.html ​

how many months since application? Might just be that it's starting to wear off. If the car is still coming up nice and clean just add another layer of toughcoat. If it isnt then just work tripple by hand, doesn't need to be applied by machine, then top with toughcoat

The AG kit is very good for general dirt and grime, but not when it's as bad as that

What did it in the end?

autosmart

Do you know it's rainx and not another glass sealant? ​An ipa based glass cleaner will be a good start, also use it to clean your wiper blades.

You p1ss me off when you drop stuff like that. LOL it's mean to drip feed this information and not tell everything! come on then, PM me what you heard. I read all the threads when they first left DW forum so curious as to how far it goes
