After being chosen as one of the product testers i gave the car a going over today, i didnt get THAT many photos as the weather was pretty bad, rain one second then sun, then rain then sun :l

Heres a couple of photos of the job in hand, as its been prettt wet the last few days, theres been alot of crap chucked at the car!

I gave it a rinse off then sprayed some RDS all over to try and break some of the grime down..

Rinsed the RDS off and gave it a covering of Wonder Wheels - Hot Wheels, this is similiar to IronX, just not as good! As you can see, theres not much bleeding!

I then rinsed the car again and went over it with some AG intensive tar remover, this did take a few of thr bigger tar spots off but the lower doors and boot were really bad, so after that i went over it with the clay bar, i didnt get any photos of this as i was trying to get it done!

After another rinse off, i gave it a hand wash using Zymol shampoo. This is it ready for drying and polishing!

This is the Tripple on the win and bonnet, i found it very easy to apply and a little went a very long way! It was also pretty good for buffing off, not alot of powder/dust left after buffing!

It then started raining again so i had to retreat to my very small garage and apply the wax, i didnt have any lighting in the garage and it was very difficult to see where i had actually applied the wax or not.
So sadly, i didnt get any photos of the wax being applied.

I found it very easy to apply and spread, the same as tripple. The smell is soooo good aswell, i managed to give the whole car 1 coat and ive not even used half of the sample pot yet!
It seemed a little oily which was good for application, but it was a little bit of a pain to buff off for me, possibly just the microfibres i was using though!

Heres a couple of after shots, i apoligise for the really bad photos, i used my Samsung S3, that mixed with bad lighting isnt the best to snap a nice clean car!

Cheers Wayne, it wasnt actually raining at the time, it was just the dirty spray off the road so theres not THAT much water to bead.

Its a very nice wax to use though, i think ill be getting a pot at some point!

I need to renew my products aswell so ill be getting some AF stuff. Tripple was actually very nice to use and works well.

The megane is pretty badly swirled and it did help a little, needs a good going over with a machine though!

Just home from work and its dark, but the shine off the car with the light from the streetligts is awesome, car looks brand new.

Think im going to have to get a pot of this wax early next year!

Fairly happy with this wax. I gave the megane 1 coat and its still beading fairly well after a the first hand wash since i waxed the car :eek:

Sorry i havent really given a great review of the products. Ive had a fairly hard time over the last few months, split up with my mrs and had to move out my flat etc. Not really paid much attention to the car!

Ive got Dressel sitting in the car waiting to be used but due to the above i havent touched the car since i recieved the Dressel.

Ill get it done at some point and stick a thread up though, thanks :)
