Does this look a good deal? As I don't wash or wax my car very often I think this would be great as it can last up to 6 months.

So all you people who know what they are talking about when it comes to this, all your opinions and comments welcome. Thank you

personally never used any of CarLack's products

the 476 is an amazing hard wearing wax and will be good for your use.

In all honesty Soph, wash, super resin polish, 476 should see you good for your needs for quite some time

all IMO of course

Why not just Wash, SRP then use something like

Cheaper

 

[Soph]

Gaz already has super resin polish in the garage anyway. Might buy the kit anyway, unless the applicator pads and towels can be bought separately for less than the kit. Although from what the reviews on there say, the carlack should be good.

Cheaper by 3 quid...

p21s (i refuse to abide by this new 'R222@ rubbish ) is not as hard wearing as 476

soph, stick to the above method and you wont go far wrong hun

[clairemae]

would recomend the colinates, it's the best wax i've used yet and it beads and last good. never tried carlack though...
as said above try some autogylm srp then collinates:approve:

If you buy any waxes off i4detailing you get free applicators. I spent £80 on there just now

Oh right, we already have a CYC account though...

Priced the kit up separately without the carlack, and it costs £29. Think will just buy the kit for what it's worth.

476 And £1 foam applicators from tim@cyc. Listen to jamie hun.
476 is awesome.

 

[richy22]

Fair enough... TBH some/most waxes come with an applicator. Just buy what you want as everyone has there own opinions on what's good don't they?!

The only reason is used i4detailing was that they had some snow foam in stock where-as CYC didn't. could of done 2 ordered I suppose but couldn't be arsed!

 

[Soph]

Just saying, I might aswell get the kit as you get the towels for cheaper than buying standalone.

Can always flog the CarLack on ebay.

 

[richy22]

^^ Exactly and we are in a credit crunch remember!

Decided it's better than using an old grit riddled sponge.

Was expecting something like that!

The Carlack is one of the best paint cleaners on the market IMO, much better than SRP at cleaning and leaves a much more durable sealant layer behind.

Don't sell the Carlack, defo use it. The Colli is great too, but can be a pig to remove if you apply it too thickly or leave it on for too long...

 

[markhinton]

I'd personally use Natty's blue - I find it works a lot better with SRP, but 476 is definitely the longer lasting wax!

But hey, summers approaching, who needs long lasting wax? Natty's produces the wetter look so go for that! Hell of a lot cheaper, too!

Failing that have you tried Blackfire yet? Been using it on my cars for the last couple of years and it's awesome stuff!

People who go months without cleaning their car

 

[markhinton]

...then 476 is the stuff for you! lol

Sorry I'm pretty sad and wash it whenever I have a day off work, so at least once a week. I'll get my coat!

Well what with being at uni most of the week, and when I was working, at work all weekend, it's rare Gaz cleans my car. I've no time for cleaning cars, don't like it lol.

The carlack/476s combo is awesome!

I found 476s doesn't bond very well to SRP.

That's good to know

its isnt meant to

SRP -> EGP/sealent -> Wax

 

[AlexG]

IIRC Boosh got this combo some time back and said it was really good.

 

[RichCup]

Yeh I should of pointed out you need something like EGP. I just tried the 476s on top of the SRP to see if would bond but it was obviously a waste of time lol.

 

[riz]

CArlack is awesome, i think its the same as JEffs if so amazing

 

[pinky]

I use Collinite 911 wicked stuff.

 

[Soph]

Just had a thought, the carlack won't sit properly will it as Gaz gave the clio a coat of EGP just to see it through some of the grime?

 

[RussZS]

The Carlack is a cleaner, so will remove all previous wax and sealants which you currently have on there, so it'll be fine, but will remove the EGP.

Ah right. No worries then.

 

[Gaz_]

Its actually a cleaner/sealant in one. I have it in front of me now! I rate it..... but i perfer the SRP/EPG combo. Done it today on my car, then topped off with some CG Petes 53 i had for my Black 182. Must say its come out MINT. Srp is a good cleaner, BANG!, and the tar is gone.

 

[The Boosh!]

Iv bought this kit!
Its epic. the carlack nano removes all the crud off the paintwork and leaves the surface with a really deep gloss and then the collonite seals it in.

well worth it imo.

 

[Soph]

Just waiting for a day that Gaz will wash it
