I go with Wash, Clay, IPA and then apply. Just taking your time to ensure you have applied everywhere is key, Think I ended up with 4 coats on the front in the end to make sure 100% coverage as my first time I either missed bits or had something left on the glass causing issues.

It's more fussy but not too bad, Get it right and it'll last ages compared to G5 from my experiences.

G1 is better IMO.

Britemax Vantage is my new favourite. Capture the Rapture or Illusion would probably put it to shame for looks alone.

Pretty sure it'll work but wouldn't be recommended when Tardis is so cheap. Think I've still got loads of Tardis left but want to try Tar X now.

I'd say stick with Tripple, You know where you stand with it and it's good at what it does. Not tried 50 Cal Cover Up yet though, Blackhole is ok but I'd say Tripple trumps it.

I was supposed to be getting some but never turned up, Will get a full bottle ordered soon.... Will be a quick fix for the Gf's black car.

That looks great Tom, I need to try Cover Up

DAS-6 Pro.

Will do some reading, Just feel like I need a wider selection as I can see me using the DA a bit this year on a few different cars.

Hex Logic pads still the go to for DA with Menzerna Polishes? Only got Green, White and Black at the moment.

Just work at an angle... Keep your eye looking down the panel rather than directly at it? That's how I do it anyway.

No such thing [emoji6] Judging by this car and your approach you want the best so either will do the job perfectly I'd have thought. @gally @Scrooge @Lawro and many others are all more in the know than me though, I have rusty calipers :(

G-Techniq C5 would leave them well protected. Good haul there [emoji106]

I don't remember mine getting sticky?? Had it 7 years and I'm sure it was fine. Surely it must just be from crappy cockpit shine? APC would budge it I'd have thought.

I can see how your back plays up, If I get my DA out too much I'll be buying a stool of some sort, My back was aching a bit just from doing my own car the other day. @brucey106 - @Scrooge is your man, Down south a bit but going by what I've seen worth the drive to 'The Unit'

Looking minty fresh, Great work as always.

God I loved my 2118's.

Cheers.... It's only a sample pot and the first time I've used it, God it spread beautifully, Will be buying a full size pot. I just used Green Hex Logic with Menzerna 2400 using the Zenith?? technique, Modt of the car only had one pass, First time I've actually gone for correction so took it...

Another - Was pushed for time so had to finish it a bit quickly, Eraser wipe down and Britemax Vantage applied. Will definitely strip it all back and go over it again once the evenings draw out a bit more but I'm happy for now.

Not 100% correction by a long shot but progress is being made :)

The bonnet is done and that's it for today [emoji17] Hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can try and at least get some sort of correction and LSP down.

Plenty of RDS left but getting a bit of clarity on my knackered paintwork

Auto Finesse is decent for a hobbyist You'll struggle to cover all bases for £60 though. Pre Wash - Avalanche/Citrus Power Wheels - Imperial Shampoo - Lather Tar Remover - ObliTARate Fallout - Iron Out Clay/Clay Mitt - Farcela G3 (Halfords) Polish - Tripple Sealant/Wax - Budget dependant Tyre...

But it, Dirt cheap, Can be picked up in your local Tesco etc.

Wash Tar Remover Fallout Remover Wash Clay Cleanse - ie AF Rejuvenate etc. Properly clean base for your Glaze and LSP to sit on. You'll be surprised how much dirt is still on/in the paint even after a thorough decon, A good cleanse pulls even more dirt from the paint.

50 Cal Cover Up.

Never used BDS on wet paintwork. Not got any Hydro2?? Seems the perfect choice for what you're after right now.
