Beading is not a good indication of wax proctection. Beading is a sign of high surface tension. A brand new car straight from the factory with no wax on at all will bead water due to the paints high surface tension. For the money you wont be able to beat P21S (same as S100) from serious...

Hello all, As you may or may not know, ive been harping on a lot about S100 polish and wax recently, which is only available from Harley dealers. Well, S100 is actually the cheaper version of a wax called P21S. They both seem to be identical products, indeed, the manufacturer of P21S told...

from the harley dealer... s100 SEC (a fantastic polish, about £10) and s100 paste wax (pure carnauba wax, about £15). s100 is FANTASTIC stuff, AND it doesnt stain your plastic trim white!!! Face

BenH, you wont be disappointed... Face

"losing the will to live" - lol! You dont want to know how long I spend on my car when it gets a good clean, then... You want to get outside today and mist water over the car and then buff it off... this will help set and even out the carnauba. Cant beat a clean looking car, tho can...

well, dont forget you can buy whatever meguairs stuff you want, including their pro-line stuff, from alex / serious performance and not have to pay any p+p. Their pro-line equivalents of the 3-step system is #82 Swirl Free Polish / #7 Show Car Glaze / #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax. Face

Or try claying... Face

Hi, There seems to be a lot of discussion on here recently about keep your car nice and clean. Most people are happy to pop in to Halfords, pay their over-inflated prices for mediocre mainstream products. If youre happy with that, fine. Why not try out true entusiast products, like...

Either Peanut Butter (smooth, not crunchy) - really! or 3M Tar, Wax and Bug Remover / Meguairs #39 Heavy Duty Plastic Cleaner, A lot of other products "hides" the stain, but then when the car has been washed a few times, back it comes. AND use a wax that doesnt stain trim. S100 (yes I...

i read somewhere this week that the cupra r was getting the 225bhp audi tt engine from November. Apparently, seat want to take on the focus RS. Is Seat build quality generally better than renault? Face

i only know harley dealers stock it. others may, but wouldnt like to say for definite. Face

Meguairs Applicator Pads 4 for £3.99 to apply S100 SEC Polish for £10 S100 Wax for £15 Microfibre cloths (£1 each from Puondland) for removal. About 5 should do you. S100 is a true enthusiasts product, available form Harley Davidson dealers. Even if you have to pay carriage, its very worth...

nice job howd you get on with the s100, then Face

I live in norwich. where abouts did you go? Face

Complain to Professional Standards. Speak to your local Police HQ for their address in your area. Im doing the same thing at the moment. It causes the police loads of hassle. The officers involved are served notice and then questioned under oath about the incident. i have a DCI from...

Go on, rag its arse off... It seems a fair consensus of opinion that the thrased ones are the fastest. Plus its fun Face

yep, had the same problem when car was on full lock... like when swinging round in a car park. Dealer had car for a week. finally fixed it with new struts i believe. Face

Oh yeah... re: the SEC... did you use a damp applicator pad, as this makes it a lot easier to put on and rub in? i forgot to do this once, and it make it a lot more hard work :-( Face

No problem... I have all sorts of MFs, some like felt, some loopy. Some are plusher than others, etc. i think the plusher the better tho. Glad to here youre impressed with the S100... quality stuff isnt it? the wax is just SOOOO east on and off. The s100 wheel cleaner is supposed to be the...

Clare: The SEC is abrasive, but very mild. i would say a lot milder than Super Resin Polish. I wouldnt bother me using SEC every other week to be honest. Glad you got the IHG okay, Best to buff off in straight lines too, with the air flow. Then in you do cause swirls, for some reason...

I thought diamondbrite was dealer-applied, although my gf brought home the equivalent from the dealer where she works. Only use the interior fabric protector. Face

Another big plus about s100 wax is it doesnt stain your black plastic trim if yiu get some on it. I think the same is true for the SEC, although not 100% sure (I always try to keep everything off of the trim anyway!). Good luck with it. Face

Well, I kind of have a regime that I use for my car and it normally follows as below: Every 4-ish months: Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover (a deep-cleaning polish, abrasive enough to remove lacquer and thus reducing swirls, etc.) - although when I run out of this Im gonna get Megs Swirl-Free...

me too

For more detailing tips, check out the forums on www.autopia.org. brilliant place. Ive learnt loads on cleaning and shining cars on there.

Locky Youll love the s100. the wax goes on soooo bloddy easy, just like butter. And it comes off beautifully too. Apply a very thin layer of the wax, and DON"T let it haze fully before you take it off. its all in the instructions. I tend to do an area at a time like a bonnet, give it a...

wkdlad Ever heard of punctuation? <------- like full stops, commas etc? Just kidding... ;) Face

Locky, The S100 SEC is a paint cleanser (Shine Enhancing Cleanser). Its like a mild polish, leaving the surface very slick and shiny. Youd need to use a stronger polish first, eg, Megs Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner. Then follow this with the SEC and finally one or more coats of S100 Wax...

Tumbleweed: I wouldnt overdo it on the Meguiars stage 2 polish - meguiars have a tendency to use contracting/confusing names for their products. Stage 1 Paint Cleaner = A polish Stage 2 Polish = A glaze Stage 3 Wax = A wax A glaze is basically a blend of oils etc, and has no cutting...
