Having my car sealed by a different product tho mate, i emailed AF and they said not to use it ontop of another product as it wont set correctly! Although that is what i was going to get.

What's it being sealed with? What does the person who's sealing it recommend for top ups?

Its a friend of mine with his own products OCDfinish.co.uk he is using the Body Shield on mine. Was thinking of just buying a bottle of that for the top up and DoDo Juice Born To Be Mild for washes.

This really. The person doing it should recommend a too up.

But know that tripple isn't a top up or a replacement for a wax. It's an all in one so it will remove the old protection and lay down some of it's own (while it has it's own protection, it's not ideal to use it alone).

You need a pure shampoo (born to be mild or auto finesse lather) which won't add their own protection and a quick detailer for final wipedowns. To keep it looking it's best.

Zaino z3 I think people rate.

Sonax brilliant shine detailer. This is amazing for its water behaviour! But will 'take away' from your lsp (it won't harm the lsp, you'll just be seeing bsd performing)

Auto finesse finale. Isn't that good for water behaviour but smells great and I find it brilliant for a drying aid and final wipe downs.




Hydro2 I think, spray on. Pressure wash off. And revel in the beading. Although this is similar to bsd in that you won't be seeing the lsp performing, it'll be hydro2

 

[Addicted]

Hydro2 for the winterrrrrrrrrr.

As above though, you wont see your LSP from it.

Yeah im thinking of Born To Be Mild, heard good things about that product. Can i use a sealent as a top up and then a QD after or just stick with the top up sealent?

I don't know enough about the OCD finish stuff to comment. But if it's a wax, top with a wax/qd and if it's a sealant, top with a sealant/qd.

Sealing over wax or vice versa can kill the life of the bottom layer. *in laymans terms. I'm out and about ATM so it'll end up jibberish if I try to explain now*

Got you, yeah the OCD body shield or rock shock is a sealent. So it would be that followed by a QD of my choice? Zaino looking the best?

@gally @JD @Scrooge @aucky

One of these will be able to comment better as I don't really use sealants.

Waxing over a sealant is not detrimental. But to answer the question, if it's looks you're after, Zaino. If it's beading, C2V3 (can be watered down to use as a QD).

I will be using a sealent to top up. And yeah after looks 2bh. What zaino range for a titanium 182?

 

[Lawro]

Zaino wise, I would go for Z6 which is basically a gloss enhancing QD.

Otherwise, I think G-Techniq C2V3 is probably the best shout. Extremely easy to use and very durable, as above it could also be diluted to use as a QD if you so wish.

 

[Kyle 86]

Reload is a fantastic spray sealant. Leaves a better gloss then C2 V3 but its not as nice to use as C2 V3

Or use Z2 or Z5 topped with Z8 for epic gloss

 

[KyL3]

And all those products can be used ontop of my sealent?

Z2 is a sealant/Polish Z8 is a high gloss spray seal and work brilliant as a combo

 

[aucky]

Don't let the wording on Zaino confuse me, it's just an Americanism. Z2 is not a polish in the sense of the word that we know it as.

Yeah ive already got my sealent so the Zaino Z8 would help enhance the gloss? Pretty much what im after

Essentially,
Z6 gloss
Z8 gloss and protection

Quite a variation in price though.

So if ive already got the protection Z6 for added gloss? Then the Z8 for extra protection and gloss?
