I still disagree that SRP "layering" has any effect. From experience, the minor abrasives polish out the fillers left behind by the first application. So you are doubling your work load.
Also SRP offers no protection whatsoever! So wax/sealant IS required. People always mistake the beading of...
Jeffs stuff is great. The acryllic is good for flake pop, the Carnauba is better for flat colours, like mine. Not Jeffs, but a Carnauba sealant on mine;
The first two are the same, just larger tins. The 845 is the one to go for. Better looking. Great Winter wax, or all round the year if you...
Rotary for a newb (Aimed at Cerrone :)) is a no no. Personally.
I have heard a few good things about this device, but see no reason to spend the money as already rotary'd up :)
Pads, the usual answers. 3M, LCC hydro's. The Sonus pads last forever, shame I can't find ones in a decent size!
Ouch.
OK, first, throw the sponge and Superguard out.
Secondly, follow the links to your new setup;

Nope, nothing like that in this country ;)
Natty's Blue still looks superb on all colours, but it doesn't last that well - £15.
Onyx is superb and lasts very well, but edges up to the £45-50 mark - the same with Carbon.
Personally, I would look out for some SuperNatural. There are different...
I have more time on my hands at this time of year (the art of delegation) so am happy to write more.
Love the fact that Alan, AR, Paul and Markie have fooked off!
Collinite 476 looks awful on all cars. It is a winter wax at best. 845 is pretty good, but again, not best on looks. SuperNatural will last a heck of a lot longer than a month, so application once a month is not necessary, as it is a waste of wax.
If you can't get out to top up the protection...
I would disagree. There are better products out there. These kits always contain products you won't use more than once, usually because you find out there are better options. So they can be a waste of money.
I would suggest you start with the simple processes. "Detailing" covers such a wide...
Lp is a decent pre wax cleanser in my eyes, with a tiny amount of bite (by hand). Use as any normal polish prior to wax application. It still stays in my arsenal as it will correct Renault paint when used in conjuction with a decent pad and machine combo.
As far as the Dodo Juice waxes go, I've tested quite a number and they just don't last. The Blue Velvet is the worst for longevity. Granted they look great, but I want more than 3-4 weeks from a wax. Super Natural is the only one I would buy. Personally.
