Almost out of Onyx

[Darren]

Well after nearly 18 months of using the same pot of Onyx, the tub is looking rather bare. So, i require a replacement. Do i get the same again, or try something different?

What about sealants as an alternative to wax? Used the CG Blitz and thought it was an incredibly good product. Is it as long lasting and as a good as a wax? I dunno.

So, all recommendations welcome. Oh, try to keep it around the £50 mark please

 

[JD]

Oh god, lol.

Personally, stick with Onyx.

 

[Gally]

Move upwards to collinites 476

Just jesting, maybe worth moving towards BOS if it's a very tidy car mate.

 

[Ali]

^BAN! and BOS is 3x his proposed budget!

Bragg try my Saphir. it's good and well priced.!

Owned by hero's! I keep meaning to get round to ordering Onyx. Where can you buy it from?

 

[Ali]

You's two should split the cost of a pot of Saphir or BOS then!!

 

[Justin]

How much is BOS like? Is it much better than Onyx?

 

[JD]

I would agree with Highlander on the split pot thing, bonne idee!

And Justin Onyx is only available from Swissvax directly now, got rid of all vendors IIRC.

 

[JD]

BOS is around £125 isnt it?

Split pot would be not a bad idea but..

- We live miles away
- How do you spilt it!

Cheers, will have a looky!

well...dunno. Sure you's could figure something out. You only need to wax your car once a month. i did it with Jem, 40£ each!

Nay bother, you just plan when you will need it and then grab it off the other gent.

Tis what Chris and I will be doing (I think) once we both decide to/get round to it!

Aye but you are at his/he's at yours a lot more often for romantic meals. :rasp:

Aye. Doubt I'd notice the difference in BOS over Onyx though would I?

BOS ftw, saying that I havent tried safhir or oynx.

On the DaveKG thead the collinite 915 came up top trumps! worth a look at for £20!

 

[Justin]

Just had a quick search over on DW and BOS doesnt seem to get great reviews, most saying its too expensive in comparison to other waxes which produce similar results.

 

[Gally]

Pmsl! Where's Ali!

Ben I take whatever Dave KG says as gospel!

/Caremuch? As i said before, you sturggle to see the difference "Visually" between a budget wax and a premium wax, what you will find however, is the ease of application, the durability (of a soft wax) Not a chemical based paste.

 

[Gally]

I heart Dave KG! All his articles are a great read!

I agreed with that Ali, I was bigging up the fact it cost £12 and could bead all winter.

I would throw 476 in the bin if I could afford a nicer wax.

Why tho? You've just raved about it!!

Like i said before, if collinites was as easy to apply as Saphir and gave the same desired look i'd buy it!! Cost isn't the issue! At the end of the day, it's the prep work that gived the depth of finish not the wax!

I did rave about it because it was £12 and could poss show up a lot of more expensive waxes.

I would buy a nicer wax because I believe a wax such as DJ Armour would add something to the finish of my car.

not joking now Ali, but if you have issues with Collinite you really must be putting it on too thick, it wipes straight off !

dont get Zymol Carbon, it smells nice, looks nice, but doesnt bead for very long, however IF you can wax your car every month without fail it might be an option

Aw please don't start! You are both right! Happy times!

I love collinite 467, have i missed somthing?

I really want to try 915, it lasts longer and gives a lovley shine!

 

[Gally]

915 Get's great reviews i'm unsure as to if like Ali says it's Chem based?

 

[alex-avfc]

I quite fancy Chemical guys 50/50, thats around your budget just over £40 I think

 

[ben_p]

Im not sure what that means in terms of finsih, durabilty etc..

but if it lasts long and looks mint, who cares!

Ali I think.

 

[Ali]

Go with what works for you. Given that you've just folked out 135 for a wax ben i certainly would be going back to 915...:S

A crackin wax imo, even stevens to the ONXY imo!

I havent tired 915, would like too though, I bought BOS just to try it and now im happy with it I will buy it again! But if i had a budget of £20 ish Collinite seems to fit the bill perfect! I have never had a problem with it!

Im no pro, and hardly a mega hobby of mine..but that just my 2pence worth!

 

[JD]

Never tried CG50 but have heard good reviews.

Personally prefer the standard p21s and Natty's shout, as you all know.

476 goes on the wheels.

 

[Ali]

If money was no object i'd have vintage!

Money aint a thang for CS millionaires IIRC?

Quite right.

Why don't you all chip in and get one of those refillable £7000 wax things. Zymol isn't it?
