total is an all purpose cleaner, spritz is a finishing product to leave a nice finish, supposed to leave a little protect against dust and UV http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/auto-finesse-spritz-cat21.html

I've always used the gliptone cleaner and conditioner, still use it now on the sofa. Has always served me well. tried the autofinesse kit that worked quite well on expensive horse saddle and bridles, bad sold the car with leather seats by the time I got them.

Less filling than tripple, but more true correction in terms of swirl removal due to the small amount of abrasives in it.

If you're having trouble removing soul and dusting problems I'd look into your methods, how much you apply and how long you leave it to cure. With a lot of waxes it often comes down to user error. with illusion, it is pretty user friendly as it can be over applied and let on a while with easy...

Hd wax is a hybrid and is solvent based so may, not definitely, may interfere with other waxes if it's layered over the top of another

seems to work well with most products. cleans well, and a fair mix of correction and filling capabilities. Very easy to use

£30 mark I'd consider vics concours, bouncers 22 or bouncers Satsuma rock. Up from there carbon or passion I like. ​at that price mark there are hundreds to try

Hd is very durable so will be hard to beat there, gloss there are lots in a similar price range that will add a little more. typically gloss and long durability dont often go hand in hand

Give powerlock a go, very pleased with it so far. Z2 is easy to apply, but PL is lovely like I love a nice wax. Seems quite glossy for a sealant and very slick

I love toughcoat, but can't decide if I will be keeping it. Not that the durability is that short, but I find myself needing more. apart from vics and illusion, all my waxes and sealants are pushing 4 to 6 months.

Zaino z2, menzerna powerlock. both are leaving a lovely finish on my silver golf.

Buy from carpro direct or i4detailing. is used to remove brake dust and other iron contaminants and fallout. can be used on wheels or body. Spray on, leave for the reaction to start. Iron contaminants will start to turn purple, it may require additional product sprayed on if there is heavy...

Correct reko, fillers will last as long as your wax or sealants will protect

I never got on with it via DA compared to menzerna, was better with rotary. Great for spot areas by hand. But I can't polish for sh!t so don't take my word for it.

The two you're using have very mild cut, mostly filling and cleaning abilities. you can step up the cut a little by using some pre wax cleansers, or go for a specific cutting compound like GTechniq P1

Was that from clearcoat oxidizing or paint fading?

General pre wash, car plan rds works fine, especially for the price it was selling in Asda. I typically use citrus power diluted 1:1 with plain water and still works great. Comparing them, citrus power has the edge with bug splatter and baked on grime, general tree sap/ aphids dropping, provided...

Prima slick I've got on with very well, not had any issues with application. Really rate it. Autofinesse finale is a great all rounder. Britemax spray and shine from i4d is over looked. Megs ultimate QD is too bad for a halfords buy.

I think you'll have a clear coat / lacquer finish over the colour. That means that any polishing will only be on the clear coat, not touching he faded paint. Only cure will be a respray.

Some pictures in this thread http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=468549 just a thought, is the car clearcoated or not?

Have you got autoglym super resin polish, I'm sure everyone has at some point. a mild cleanser with abrasives will bring it back if it's not too far gone. Look at autofinesse tripple on their website where they did a 50:50 comparison on a red golf bonnet. if it's worse than start with a...

To remove swirls with correction, you are removing very fine amounts of clear coat, as you say microns. It's nothing more than ultra fine sanding in its basic form. 150m is a decent level to play with. 30-40 is worryingly low. Are you using it by hand or machine? I guess you have access to a...

I never found the california car scents last all that long. cost wise works out cheaper getting the chemical guys sprays. Stripper scent is awesome!

Not going to lay a coat over CQ?

I do like a GT! Seen better beading though ;) I might just manage a sample for a choice member

Smell is a chemical chocolatey scent.

I completely agree with Glasur not being worth the extra over carbon

Not used the pro versions, but compared to other ddj soft waxes and SNH it's firmer in consistency, but a little oilier. For that it spreads a little further using less. It tends to hold its rich colour a little longer as well. Water behaviour and durability lasts just a little longer also, but...

finale is a good all round QD IMO. IS pretty easy to use, cleans well, removes hard water spotting and general water marks. and brings back a little extra beading too Zaino Z6 and Prima slick are also good QD's that I've used.

If it's durability you need, illusion and other 'show' waxes aren't for you
