Little bit of an old thread, but just a bump to say how good Admiral are.
Long story short, one accident last year sorted without a fuss (fairly large payout to fix a car), when we moved at the start of the year it was for a saving of almost £2k (five cars all with Zurich Premiere before that)...
The cleaner wax is not good as polishes go, but better than nothing. You mustn't be worried about polishing, by hand you are not going to do any harm to the paint work unless you are realllllllllyyyyy stupid! Super Resin would be OK, maybe Lime Prime if you can?
You should always wash the car AND polish after claying, in my eyes.
At least use a paint cleanser that will give the wax a good surface to bond to.
What wax are you using?
Lol, the only sample pot I had full use of was the Blue Velvet and Needster, Mike (Bifcaids) and I just ended up getting more on our hands than the car for s***s and giggles. Although turning up to work on Monday morning with blue hands and meeting with clients was a laugh!
Lew, just to add, hope you're taking this as a good natter rather than me disagreeing with anything that comes from your keyboard. It's nice to have as many views and experiences as possible in this section as it has been quiet of late (save for Todd's threads!).
I wonder put the products out of the window, chap. The simple fact is, AG is made for the masses, who will walk into Halfords and want that little bit more than "a bucket and sponge". Therefore, their product marketing and performance and costs are all relative to this audience.
There are...
Yes.
In my eyes, a sealant protects better, purely due to longevity. However, they won't necessarily look better. But I tell you what, you have to have a keen eye to spot the difference.
All the work is in the prep stages anyway, the LSP is just the icing on the cake. Super Natural is a great...
In that case you want a product, wax or sealant, that has a high Carnauba content. So a carnauba wax will look great, or a carnauba spray, such as the Jeffs spray I linked you to in the PM/Thread.
All those that don't use SN, are gay...
You won't notice any difference between the "colours". The charged waxes are a bit more of a marketing ploy, although some will swear blind that they need a new wax everytime they change colour of cars.
Personally, Super Natural is the only wax I would use from Dodo... purely down to personal...
