Dad was born there, moved to Alderley in '89, Gran still lives near ish. Dad had a business on Newby Road Inudstrial Estate, but again, moved a while ago. I go to Hope Street quite a lot to the Audi Doctor garage there.
Can't see why you would. Hydr02 is a top up product, like C2V3 diluted or Reload, where as a decent wax is the "long lasting" protection. I'd be doing it the other way around - wax for looks and finishing, Hydr02 for no hassle top ups.
As above, if it's been left for 2mins, it'll have been applied in too thick layers. 15 mins is sealant territory, not wax. But I'll forgive a fellow Hazel Grove-ite, even if his number plate does spell out mad cow disease... CL10 CJD
While I agree, look what's happened above. No offence to LMN, but she's applied a dressing without cleaning. She wasn't to know - imagine how much of a pain in the arse a full prep would be to those other than the OCDetailers amongst us.
It's a dressing, Caz, not a cleaner. You should be cleaning then apply this over a dry surface. Did it not say that in the instructions?
OT - another poor after/results by this product. Think af have a bit of a dud.
Interestingly, it says it can be layered (so similar to their tyre dressing). But who wants to go around their grills more than once?!
Auto Finesse - input would be appreciated.
Sorry, chap - my point was the look of the dressing after you'd applied it, not whether you'd cleaned first. I can see you've cleaned. The before photos look like matt, slightly faded trim (standard for UK cars). But the afters leave a lot to be desired (that's not an AF wax joke...).
Looks well, but as above. Iron and tar removers remove the worst before you touch the paint.
Interested by the kW comment. Not fussed about the warranty one presumes?
Yes that's the right order, are you also asking for advice on other stages/products to add, as another contaminant remover in there couldn't hurt (IronX).
Looks superb (bar the exhaust, but that's personal taste)! You should be very pleased with that!
One thing to note - tar removers are horrible products, so I'd advise washing the car, rather than just rinsing after using one, before you clay. If there is even a slight amount of the tar remover...
