The Monaro is metallic black. So far I've been SRP ing the car every season (only 1000 miles covered or less). Straight after the polishing session EGP is applied. Ideally I'd like a sealant that works very well with Black, has a beading effect, good durability. I'd like to apply it seasonally...

I "think" sealant is just that bit easier to apply and can be more durable then wax. Then again it's been a few years since I've bought any products, things have probably changed.

Sorry Dave your losing me here, sheeter, beader, I'm not famialr with these terms? I don't mind spending time applying the product, and since it's for the Monaro (which doesn't get out much due to it's 10 mpg) the overall finish is very important. Although it would be nice if it was pretty...

I'm hearing that EGP is a bit old hat and there are better sealants on the market these days? Suggestions guys?:)

Cheers Dave :) Seems to be a thicker more durable version of the #108 that I already have. Might give a go sometime, eventually.

Thanks for all the info chaps :), a trip to Halfords next pay day!

Put money on it?;)

Gotta be the Lather then! Cheers Dave.:)

I'm guessing the local Halfrauds will supply?

...although the Gwash and BTBM are more concentrated than the Lather?

Even with wet weather driving it still looks good afterwards?

You'd say the Lather is better then the Gwash then?

Anyone given this one a go? How does it compare to others on the market? Thanks.:)

I wash the tyres at the last stage of washing the car, then dry them.

Not using it for shows, just want decent durability, good shine and gloss. Don't like the idea of it wearing off when it rains!:(

I'd like it to be durable so that it shines for some time. As mentioned when it rains, the glossy sheen is lost. Just trying to find a product which lasts the longest in this respect.

Cheers Dave! Autofinesse lather? Have you been using this a while? Better than BTBM?

What's so bad about EGP? I apply several coats after SRP ing the car, it seems to work fine quick detail spray after a regular wash.

Been using Finish Kare #108 anti static dressing, good product but not too keen on it's matt/satin finish. Tried Poorboys dressing also, not very durable though. After something that is very durable but glossy and shiny too. Any recommendations? Thanks.:)

Sadly Serious Performance has run out of Duragloss and need to buy shampoo asap as I've just used the last drop of Duragloss today.:( Any suggestions of what will work very well with EGP but will give the same pleasing results as the Duragloss or perhaps better? Thanks.:)

Looks really to be honest. I think its the acrylic one for using over a sealant though? I've already got the carauba one, quite pleased with the results but bottle is nearly empty.

I've used EGP on the car. Can't remember if I need Carnauba Spritz, Acrylic Spritz, or Acrylic Glanz? Thanks.:)

Cheers Dave, so can I get away with using SRP to polish the wheels along with Iron X?

Well it's all gone now, can't say I'd buy an more of it. If serious wheel prep is neede then C5 it is.

Damm! That's alot of prep there Dave! I'd probably take two wheels off at a time, fair enough. But do I really need to go through the rigma of using iron remover and IPA (still chuckling about the name;)) ?

I've used up my Autobahn, the results were good the durability wasn't. After a month covering circa 1000 miles with three washes it'd worn off.:(

Sorry for rather late reply to this one, before I sold the car I took off the Rentech stickers ans the Yozza ones too.

Interesting, I've been using 901 for some years now I did find it that bit better than Gold Class from Meguiars. Generally I'm not using waxes, prefering sealants instead and quick detail spray here and there. is BTBM suitable to be used with sealants also?

Yeah, I'm not into cleaning wheels, pain in the ass!:(

Nah, I reckon you're right I ought to give this stuff a go. I'm guessing apart from it's durability it also REALLY makes the wheels reflective with a very deep shine?
