Jay, typically every weekend for anything between 30 and 70/80miles, and if I have the time and good weather a little blast mid week. Through the summer the roads I used I was getting splatter from 15mph onwards so washing after every ride was pointless, as knowing it's well protected it...

How often are you cleaning it? I did mine every 3months as the bug splatter was terrible every ride so left it. Used AF citrus power then a MF sponge to remove. RDS is supposed to be Ph neutral I believe. Mine is currently protected with AF tripple and Carpro reload until it gets EXO

As said it depends what you will use it the most for. I switched back to a DA as I much preferred using it with glazes and pre wax cleansers and only occasional correction. For most correction look at a rotary if not a DA. plus with the MF cutting pads you can get a good level of cut before...

Just checked my eraser and it's completely translucent and nothing like that above, I originally thought it was bubbles from using it until closer inspection. That's quite worrying

http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Isopropanol_cleaning_fluid_1.html only time I've ever had a problem with a glass cleaner like this is when too much product is used or the cloth becomes dirty or over saturated in the product

Clean or replace the cleaning cloth you use. Crystal is IPA based IIRC

You could certainly make a big improvement to it

Oblitarate is a tar and glue remover, eraser removes oils and polish residues. Very different products.

Ive been waiting to see the pics of your Ph1, and was expecting to not need to bother entering. But.... I'm sure I've seen better pics than that, but can't remember where they were I saw them. Your soul beading pic on wheels is a winner to.

Are you using it on the Ford? You won't keep it long enough to test it!

Think you need to do more research on the product. It needs to be perfect, if you get the prep 99% right it will fail

15ml will be enough for 6x 16" wheels if applied correctly. Most will make the mistake when first using it to over apply. It spreads much further than you think

Jaff, how old is the G1 on your screen. I found the same as you after about 12-18months but for the 1st year was bone dry from 40mph+

Removing scratches and marks on a budget or a starter is simple not going to happen, or not effectively IMO. find someone local to you hat knows what they're doing, ie Dawn, to sort it out and give you a good base to start from, that way you won't be paying £££'s for products you won't use...

I have it ready to try. Just waiting on time to apply it. Will be replacing G1 that's been on both cars for 2 years now

My wife would happily go 6 months without considering to wash the car, probably longer now we have a baby. Think she may have commented once or twice on the car looking clean after its been waxed

Try a hand pump pressurised spray bottle from B&Q for a couple of £. You can then get much more control over application and how much you use.

Did you ever try the valet pro citrus?

This ^ G4 is a glass polish used to help prep the glass and bond well with G1

Last week ASDA in store was £6 for a litre bottle of RDS. For me as I use it quite a lot, 5L of AF citrus power for £35. Works out to be £7/litre but for routine washes I dilute it 1:1 with water and still is affective provided your LSP is still performing, therefore £3.50/litre I've not found...

Chemical guys hexlogic pads, black or white, green and orange Menzerna polishes 106fa and 203s, maybe 3.02

That's what I paid for mine, they regularly have it with the 15% off. Use your nectar points also and I got it for £42 in the end.

What was your reasoning to change back in the end? the smearing? Black cars FTL

Glass cleaner been used round the house for years. Glass sealants on the shower screen Werkstat prime was used to clean up the bathroom and kitchen tiles, topped with which ever GTechniq spray sealant I had to hand. House windows and doors glass and frame also GTechniq spray sealant.

My focus is on the softer side of medium. Managed to nip out a few minor marks with my old EP800 and rejuvenate, a pre wax cleanser with mild abrasives

You can do if you want to use in a quick detailer type fashion but still add protection. For full functionality, on a prepped and dry car, spray onto panel and wipe on to spread, then buff off, job done.

A wax can last 4weeks to 6months plus, as can a sealant. All depends on the individual product. For sub £10 C2 is a great buy
