for the price, go for tough coat instead of z8. much better durability

thinking about it, hd wax is a hybrid also so wont really work with tripple either

serves you right for being tight and topping it with FK :p

tripple is a fantastic product, and will always have a bittle in my kit bag.. what i would say is a little thought needs to go into what wax or sealant you out over the top of it, as due to it containing a small amount of wax protection in it already, it can have an affect on the performance...

carnuba is one of many ingredients that makes up a wax, so what one have you heard about? what do you know about waxes? serious question tough coat is a wax based spray sealant. AG HD wax is a very durable hybrid wax. AF temptation is a cheap and nice looking wax to work with tripple, or...

crystal shouldnt remove it anymore than your wipers will

thats a bargain, typically go for near double that

the above is a great looking and very quick and easy to use combo. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

I'd be grateful if you can keep the thread updated as to how they perform please, people seem to disbelieve me when I say they're still going strong

Not used nattys, but tough coat is VERY simple to use, can apply to a whole car and then remove in less than 10minutes, gives good water sheeting and reasonable beading, lasts approximately 3months. The look / finish would be determined more by the base under it. Are you going straight from...

Blackhole will look great, all until it rains or he washes it, there's nothing to seal in any of the fillers or gloss enhancers that you would get from topping it from a wax or sealant Get him a spray wax or sealant such as toughcoat or werkstatt to seal in the hard work and it will stay...

If you want it to last, you need to clean the glass regularly, preferably with IPA based glass cleaner. It removes any particles which could end up acting like sand paper between your screen and wipers. ^ This

Look at all in one or cleanser type products that fill well, SRP, Tripple, blackhole, amigo. Then a nice easy wax or sealant like tough coat, werkstatt kit nattys blue. For first time users you want ease of use and glossy looks. Maybe get the megs or AG clay kit with tar and iron removers for...

I bought separately, not used the pads in the kits, and only ever used menz polishes. I'd maybe use autofinesse's own pad with tripple, or a 3m blue, or hexlogic black or red. Once you've got hand with the polisher step up to something like rejuvenate or a finishing polish like menz 106fa...

The kestral das6 from i4detailing or clean your car are fine. Keep an eye out for a 2nd hand one as there pretty hardy. Using tripple on a soft finishing or glazing pad gives awesome results. By hand it still gives great results but that's another level. A great combo for both beginner and...

As a glaze? I think so! As a wax? well, it didn't bring out the best in the LY colour IMO!

will be trying to re seat it tomorrow but disconnected it all, all cables etc, and no change. Will get another cable to try also as not got one to hand current card is Graphics card(s) ATI Radeon X1200 Graphics/video ports VGA When you say what slots are available, are ou referring to...

Foxtrot Oscar!

The oils in lime prime seemed to bring out the best IMO

Toby, didn't you use it over tripple? May have affected the bond, isn't FK another solvent heavy sealant wax like 476?

Was in general chat somewhere, posted to an old address IIRC. But said that joking, I'd hope it wasn't about that

The prodigal son returns. All that over a hoody? You must have been a bad boy in another life! Wants some Glasur? Swap you for amigo

different ways you can go about winter sealing. typically a very durable wax like FK is one option. The other is to get a spray sealant that takes minutes to apply and last 3 - 4months on its own. that way with regular waashing you can simply add additional layers to top up the durability so it...

I've not had any trouble with it smearing, but one car had a bit of wiper judder. Only lasted a month though

Provided you do it on a warmish day the temps at the moment, certainly in Essex, aren't low enough to affect it it. It's more the moisture levels so do it around midday

Tripple and blackmax are similar, apart from tripple will add a little protection on top so use one or the other. Use them after the proper polishing stage. The protection left by tripple will be past its best after 6weeks so best to seal in your hard work with a sealant or wax over the top...

I'd suggest starting with Tripple via DA on a finishing pad. Leaves an excellent finish and goes some way to hiding a lot of swirls and marring when used with DA. gives you a good chance to get the hang of machining without the added risk of damage. I personally highly recommend the finish let...

Clart, think you need to take a step back and relax. know one here is having dig in any way, just trying to best advise on a car that none of us have looked at to polish, and not knowing your level of experience. At the end of the day we don't wannt you burning through your clearcoat. To start...

I've watched people burn through clear coat with a DA with a light polishing pad and polish, before they even started on the cutting compound. As I said, all depends on whether or not you know what you're doing. And without being rude, if you're asking questions like which polish should I use...

never used it, but itsn't that the harsher of the two compounds? not the best to start with unless you know what you're doing
