It's very hard to recommend a wax just now. Sealants are so so good! Definitive waxes are lovely. Great presentation, lovely to use but you're not really paying for the sum of it's parts. Then again that goes for most.

Z2 is a great base mate if you're using a nice base like Z2 then you can buy any wax really. A nice used pot of Best Of Show would be nice especially for the Summer! ;) Also gives nice boutique feel. Have a look at my detailing threads to see some Z2/bos combos.

My guess Dave is he's bored of the usual and fancies a change. Like we all wish we didn't! ;) It's the fun part of detailing! If you want shine i'd add a glaze to your prep. Lime Prime, ez creme glaze, Prima Amigo. In some cases if you want shine (oils) you sacrifice some durability.

Hi chap. What are you looking for from the wax? Max durability? Looks? Show wax? Do you want a nice boutique feel? What car will it be used on most? The Clio? Don't limit yourself to just waxes. Also colour charged waxes aren't exactly colour specific. They can help certain colours but not...

He's from up our way iirc.

If it's only Tripple try it via the green one but it won't always work great as it's not a polish as such, black would work easier. Even by hand will give a lovely finish. :) TC by hand chap. Spray on spread and then wipe off residue. Very easy to use.

Just LOL!

Fpmsl? Yeah maybe 5 years ago.

Technical Grey? Tbf if it's a standard DCi it's going to look normal no matter what colour it was! Imperial Blue is über cool!

No problem mate i'll fire you a pm. :)

By hand just buy some tripple or Rejuvenate mate Auto Finesse make both. Great cleansers especially on white. Both will leave a nice finish for topping. I'd suggest get some Zaino Z2 or be lazy and buy some C2V3 so easy to use as the lsp.

Do it right once, for eg full detail and 3 layers of zaino Z2 or similar and it last 6 months with washing in between. The new sealants like Gtechniq C2V3 are great, spray on wipe off and they last also stops crap sticking as easy, so a simple pw can clear most crap off it. Do it right...

Those kind of people think there is one colour for each car, those are the idiots mate not you.

Flol!Can, i'm an idiot. Works awesome on my glass mate.

I don't think we'll be going this year. Not confirmed yet but we did spend a whack last year. I fancy coming down to see you and Joe though. Wait till you see the V3 sheeting mate, you'll be very impressed. Can't be used over glazes the lot.

Blending is great but no one in the world is going to blend a roof for painting a spoiler. Our colour library is so vast we've never had to blend wings when doing bumpers where as this seems common in a lot of bodyshops. Fact is plastic to metal can 90% look off colour anyway, blending the...

Yeah reload is proper mental sheeting wise but clean car needed. Go for C2V3, honestly dude see my thread on DW it's crazy stuff and goes over anything!

It can dilute to crazy. 1l can = 11ltrs easily but it's a tad smeary and not exactly quality. You can get Britemax, it's £25 iirc for a gallon also Serious Performance do one concentrate to make a US gallon that's £22 iirc.

What do you want for it Matthew? Capture the rapture sample when I get them sorted?

Interesting. Price is still mental.

Yeah Sonus you can buy large iirc. Last Touch is just like water, it's far from Carnauba based. It's funny you can probably buy bulk direct like AF finale or something, just need to find the right man. I'll send a text mate.

I'm not sure I can add anymore mate, it's a bit yoof!

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&t=1275008&nmt=RE%3A+Perfect+or+patinated%3F+PH+Blog#topicTop Been discussed a lot in here but thought it deserved a thread, no not in the detailing section. Anyway everyone wants to own a shitter, one they can leave anywhere and abuse...

Is it that time of year already...

I always thought Lumix were still the top of the compact game mate. Some of the shots i've seen from compact lumix put some poor Dslrs to shame. Russ used to do all his detailing shots with a tiny little Lumix and it was immense. TZ10 at the time iirc.

Re: Why are Mazda RX8 so cheap?? http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=27403 Buying guide. Oh and if you can buy one for 1500 and don't care about mpg etc you could run it into the ground. They're a rather good drive I must say. Have zero desire to crucify myself with one though!

It's the best sealant on the market mate at the moment. There are some cool things coming out of Asia just now but this stuff is so strong. It is nasty s**t though for lungs etc is don't think the dealer chat is just hype.

No not me sadly but it is the one we painted... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=374453955996462&set=a.374382902670234.1073741825.100002955835570&type=3&l=e58b132fae&theater Only pics seem to be on FB atm but you don't have to be signed in. Stunning stuff from Craig!

Agreed, being the coolest guy in my livingroom is uber important that's why I bought a new iPad... and an iPhone5 before that. It might be because they are good but nah...

Interesting, didn't know you could remove just the door, thought it had to be unbolted from the back of the 1/4. Anyway lets hope the match from the paint company comes back correct. Perplexing!
