Cheers Guys..I was thinking of getting the Alpine 9833 over the 9835 because I like the display more and there isnt much difference between the 2 apart from price...
That is the same reason I picked the 9833, nice unit chuffed with mine.
I dry mine with a Pakshak Waffle weave drying towel, its like the Meguiars one but about twice the size.
I find fake chamios ok though, the autoglym one aint to bad, not as paint freindly as a mf drying towel.
I wouldnt polish over the stripes with any abrassive polish just in case, but...
Brazo as you have been giving it go for it!
If #16 has not added to the look of the NXT I wouldnt waste my time as doing that as an extra step. The only really purpose of adding a Carnuba topper to a sealant like NXT is for a bit of xtra depth and gloss, the NXT will last longer than the wax...
I wash with either megs Nxt or Gold Glass as its available in Largish sizes. But also like Sonax Gloss shampoo, its only 2 quid a litre from the local Vauxhall dealer.
I dry with a http://www.pakshak.com/Pakshak large waffle weave drying towel.
After washing I quick detail with Clearkote...

Brazo, Megs nxt then 16 trust me you will love it!
As for Zymol, i have been there paid the extra £££ and gone back to the above. The Zymol gave me nothing extra apart from a lighter pocket! I guess its one of those things we all have to try out for ourselves. Like me with the Pinnacle its...

yeh you can buy mothers from http://www.crystalclean.ltd.uk/products/products1.htmhttp://www.crystalclean.ltd.uk/products/products1.htm , but again there a little more than i can import from usa for, although they are quite reasonable...
P21s is very good. Looks fantastic on all colours, Souverän just has the edge on Black.
Not looked into wear it will be cheaper from yet, from Pinnacle direct.
http://www.pinnaclewax.com/Souv.
for the P21s/S100 I use a local Harlet Davidson Dealer or From Alex at serious performance...
I will keep an eye out.
AFAIK you can get mothers in the Uk without importing it. I will see if I can find the link.
I order a fair bit from the US as long as you get them to send it you as a gift, you can avoid the import duties!
My next purchase will be some Souverän Paste Wax...
Dont most of the US based products we get over here. :(
Keep an eye on here

Any good carnuba wax should wipe off okay at this time off year if its not too damp and cold out. Good pure Carnuba waxes like P21s, Meguiars #16, Poorboys, so at a guess Zymol too ( not brought any for years as there is as good for alot less £££) are great as there is no cure time wipe on...

oo went there today r-jay didnt see that. Can u remember where abouts on th e forecourt it was?
You have to order it, didnt have one there.
P21s Wax is a fantastic product. Wipes on off with so much ease. Best wax I have ever used. Best off using it over a sealant such as NXT or Autoglym Extra gloss at this time of year though as Carnuba isnt that durable.
Nothing to lose...... The salesman said they are desperate to sell cars at this time a year. Even though I have requested March 1st delivery it still is a December sale.
The best price I could find for a UK car on the web before i went to order my car from Renault was £12665, 182 with both cup packs and met paint. ( Carselect emailed me back after I had returned from the dealer and had ordered doh!) and Hylton Renault in Glos matched the web price.
The sales...

You need to email them and thy will email you back with the costs... i did it just to get my local dealer to price match!
