Now I've read it, the Megs range isn't all that tbf. I started with it, but actually took me three times longer than with the Menz range. I know Ali will big up the 3M range, but I am yet to try.
Make sure that you take your time. Mask off the Plastics and rubbers. I say this, not because...
^^^In that case, Gex mate, your wax should be purely for looks/beading properties.
In all honesty, for things like wheels, and bodywork in winter, I just seal the paintwork properly and don't bother with a wax.
I basically have OCD, so wheels come off every couple of months and paint is...
FLOL @ playdo set! ***goes to find that Rapidough game***
Hai Becs, the 27 came up so well, was perusing photos last night for a best work compilation for a mate's art project.
Again, no experience with AG HD and have to agree with the Netherland resident, wax each month ftw :)
No Nic mate, spritzing is the action of spraying lightly, i.e. spraying a light sprinkling of water/quick detailer in this case onto the pad when it's new to soften it up a bit. New pads/freshly washed pads tend to be a little more difficult to start/prime.
Justin, I've heard the Dodo waxes actually react with paint work after too much use, turning them this awful yellow colour ;)
In all seriousness, P21s is old but faithful. Onyx would be for me, depends whether you can stretch to things like Carbons and above.
Was about to jump in with claying.
Wet sanding is brave, but well worth it. Just go slow. I don't do glazes instead of sealents, so would go for some Chem Guy's Blitz instead or as well as, just for some protection :)
Mainly because it can be out of the price range of some. It is seen as a bit of a named brand, like buying BMW over Ford. But the reasons speak for themselves. DW is usually about the newer products/bargain options. Hence Dodo getting more of a shout recently.
I love my Natty's Blue wax (not...
Hand the SRP is good, there are some more recent ones that have come out. They will brighten up the paint work nicely.
Again, not going OTT, I always Machine Polish SRP every couple of months, just to take back the build up of what ever is on the paint work (old waxes/sealents/crap)...
It is a bit of a "halfords/n00b/rush it" product mate, in all honesty.
Detailing can go on and on in terms of products and costs, but even when I was first starting out I went above that type of product.
Its a finishing/buffing polish.
Awful stuff :S sorry!
Not very hard wearing wax, won't last and for the price there are much better newbie waxes out there.
But all IMO and experience :) Not a "get at you" quote ;)
Hi bud,
You need a sealent in there like Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection/Chemical Guys Blitz/Jeffs Werkstat Acryllic to seal the freshly polished paint work. Tend to do as many layers of this as I can, so around 4-8.
P21s (now called R222 but I refuse to abide by the new name lol) is a very...
