Autoglym Extra gloss........Pain to remove

[J273]

Just tried some of the EGP after using the super resin.....Il eft it on the car for about an hour and half.....But im finding it a total nightmare to remove .....cant seem to get rid of it leaves white swirl marks

Is EGP only for use really with a PC?

Cheers

i use to just leave it on for about 10-15 mins then wipe it off. i found if i left it too long its a pain to remove. i use to just use a aplicator pad to put it on.

 

[J273]

Yea thats what i used .....I may of put too much on


think ill only leave it on for say 10mins next time......The only way im managing to get it off is with a megaurs drying towel

if you use a microfibre to take it off it should be fine mate, had 6 layers on mine when i pre winter prepped her, each on for 5hours

Sounds like you may have applied too heavy a coating. A very thin even layer is the key.

 

[Djw John]

You've put far too much on bythe sounds of things, probably too cold too!

 

[john182rs]

If you put a thin layer on one panel at a time an then take it off just as you finish putting it on the second then you should be ok but dont do the whole car then come back to it as it sets in well an truly.

Applied to thickly at a guess for starters.

No problem doing the whole car and leaving it, I find this the best way when using EGP and it is what Autoglym recommend. I always leave it on for an 45 mins to an hour at least, comes of super easy when applied thinly. I have left it on over night before in the garage and then removed and it wiped of even easier. Apply it so thinnly you can hardly see it, when you think the coat is thin enough it is probably still to thick! Anything you wipe of is just wasted product.

Not one to use in the sun though or it will bake on!

Used it about a month ago,

left it on for exactly 1 hour

used a cotton towel to remove and it came off no problems


I applied it very thinly, its hard to see you've put it on sometimes as you really don't need much on at all, just had to keep looking at it at different angles to see which parts i'd covered

I dont like EGP as it creates a haze over the piant and imo reduces the shine. It might just be me putting it on too think though.

 

[Rich]

EGP Reduces shine whatever next .... far from it, 3 or 4 layers and it deepens the shine!

Ive put a spray head on my bottle so i can control the amount I put on my pad....Thin is the name of the game and loadsa layers as Rich has shown..

 

[JD]

^^^thats a good idea, does it work ok? might try that over the weekend.

jamie

 

[Rich]

It does, it kills the spray head if you leave it in there too long though!

 

[DH_GTI]

to much by sounds of it, did my last weekend thinly went on and off with ease imo

 

[cookie155]

works excellent, luckily ive got an endless supply of heads as my missus has her own business selling cleaning chemicals online and I just pinch them from her stock......

 

[riz]

use less and use a Qd spray to help remove it

 

[J273]

you mean somthin like the JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Glos afterwards,

Im still trying to remove it .....2 days after putting it on....Must of put too much on as i used an applicator pad to apply it where as when i did it the first time i used a cloth to apply and was a simple wipe off.
