Interesting Andy/Dave. I felt C2V3 added to the looks of the Panzer, over Tripple. Feel this might be the case with lighter colours, but with reds (pizza boy shuttit ;) ) and other warmer colours it has an effect...
Yet to see dad's, which has had the same combo, but on a very light/clinical blue.
Definitely softer than a nail brush. Something like the soft brush out of a shoe polishing set is ideal. You need very little pressure. And as Andy/Chapppers has said, with quite new cars such as those, I doubt you'll need to get the brush out.
^^^what pizza boy said. Or Gliptone. Both very good leather products. Key is not to get the leather soaking, so damp MFs to dust down, the small amount of cleaner with a very soft brush agitating to a foam. Then wipe down with a damp cloth again.
Most cycle in, so the work car park is made up of what ever is being tested for How to Spend it. Recently had two new R8 V10+, Veyron Super Sports, XKRS x2 few others.
I still think it is to do with darker shades that retain heat. I struggle to see what else it could be. That and the fact that it shows up worse on darker cars, compounding the issue.
You never like any product I recommend - starting to feel it's personal :P
In answer to this, yes, you can paint it on. Several members have either painted it on, or sprayed the area, then used a paint brush to ensure an even coat.
Good question, I have no idea. Instructions are to soak the application in product, how you do this is not included. I'd be asking Rob or DW members. Give me a sec.
They shouldn't be anywhere near OTT. The panels should be cool. If they are even mildly warm it will affect the application of most spray sealants, C2V3 included. I have my theories that this is where people are going wrong with black being the worst colour for heating up quickly in the Sun.

They'll never be as good, Don, due to the lack of pressure. They'll create foam, but not the shaving foam consistency most are after (as it clings for longer).
Depends on your application. Some users on DW have found that it smears on some colours - I personally think it's down to user error, but it just shows up more on Blacks and reds. This "issue" is resolved if diluted with RO water.
Have to be perfectly honest, Andy - there have been times in the last where Kev and I have picked apart your threads/details and queried you doing other peoples' cars. Which I am sure you appreciate the reasoning for doing so. But you've come a long way since those days and the Audi looks...
Forgive my ignorance as I'm on a phone/slow connection...
There is no code in the PM as per last time. Is the link therefore specific to Cliosport and will sort out the cost at checkout? Or have I missed something?
Andy, I have Internet (sort of!) so will get paid up tonight.

Buy cheap, buy twice. All those listed above will give up after 6-12 months, no matter how careful you are.
The CarPro wash mitt will last. But it's double the price. It's also a far superior mitt in terms of prevention of wash marring, I.e. the reason you use a mitt in the first place.
Embarassed by this forums aversion to a decent car (S3) so had to post in Warren's thread.
i1 treated MF applicators are how the cool guys rolls...
I have no comeback.
