Scrooge - That is not ideal, Have you bought a full sized bottle?

 

[Scrooge]

Yep, it was horrible to dry after aswell.

 

[Coby.]

Do they advertise it as Ph Neutral?

 

[Scrooge]

I think so, also wax safe and non gloss enhancing too. On the bottle it says gloss enhancing lol

 

[Coby.]

I'd be getting in contact and expressing my feelings on that, Poor work on their behalf.

 

[Scrooge]

It's only £10 I'll just relegate it to the back of the cupboard and use it for emergencies. I wanted to test the Mitchell and King sample from waxybox as it appeared to strip my lsp back but that seemed to be pH8.

 

[Coby.]

True but still I'd quickly fire over an email, Might get something else from them to try, Advertised as having no gloss enhancers and Ph7 according to polished bliss after a quick google.... Just have to wait for Hubikote instead

 

[Scrooge]

Yep that where I got it from, I'll probably fire over an email on Monday. I bloody can't wait for hubikote lol it's actually winding me up it's taking so long lol

 

[Coby.]

It's weird that it came in a box months ago yet still isn't available, I still have a small dribble of it left in the bottle so might use it when I next give the car a quick wipe over just to remind myself how nice it is to use.

 

[Scrooge]

Hopefully they don't change it in anyway before bringing it to market!

Try and buy it mate. The buy button is not there.

 

[Gally]

Bit nonsense that!

 

[Scrooge]

Dangling the carrot. Winding me up lol

I used the hubikote shampoo today from the waxybox. I think it reacted with something as it left my paintwork really greasy, I only used RDS and it previously wasnt protected.

When you see petrol in water with the purple/blue/green rings it was like that. It also left nasty waters marks all over the paint.

Any ideas?

Here's pic what it looks like:-

Was it a full detail? Any products used before it?

 

[w33 brl]

Ok lad just about to clean the car.

What stage do I apply c2? And do I apply neat or dilute?

Cheers

 

[Jay.S]

Car wasn't previously protected by any wax or sealant.

Was the first stage so only RDS and a rinse was used before the hubikote shampoo touched the paintwork. After rinsing it off that's what I was left with. I gave up after that as I was unsure what to do didn't want to cause anymore issues.

I think I'll give it a once over with B2BM.

 

[Gally]

It's the RDS mate. 100%, Some left on the surface and mixed with the shampoo.

 

[Chapppers11]

As well as the Spirit test, I've been running C2v3 and Zymol Vintage on the bonnet of the 200.

This is after a wash, both applied a month ago after full decon after IPA wipedown.

Need, last stage mate, you go dilute it and dry the car at the same time as protect it.

I'd dry and polish the car then fire the C2 on, make sure you remove all the residue after applying.

C2 on the right as you look at the bonnet?

 

[Jay.S]

Cheers I thought it might of been just wanted it clearing up.

Ill give the hubikote another shot, if it plays up again ill just revert to the trusty B2BM.

Ok I've never used it before so it'll be fine over wax?

How would I go about stripping G1??

After my posts the other day I wiped it down with Eraser BUT last night was the first frosty night and my whole windscreen was not iced over except for the patches that showed up on my screen so think I might strip and reapply because it will really bug me throughout winter otherwise.

 

[Coby.]

gally Scrooge

How much Hydro2 should I order to give a decent coating to 2 maybe 3 cars?

 

[Chapppers11]

Sorry, should have said, C2 on the left as you look!

Was quite shocked!

That makes two of us. I have emailed Richard, with no reply...

Apply another good layer layer of G1 would be my answer and remove. properly.

You could actually order the 100ml and just dilute it into 3 times for the 3 cars. Easy!

WTAF! After how long? A wax, Vintage or not should keep up the beading sheeting like C2V3. Even on a dirty car my C2 was sheeting like crazy!

 

[Coby.]

Was thinking that but worried there maybe something on the glass stopping the G1 from bonding.

Sounds good, presumed once diluted it would go a good distance but thought it best to check.

If you don't get interest in a bulk buy I would be interested in CTR and Gallys Hybrid Wax, Got most of the other bits still lying around from my own Waxybox's

[w33 brl]

Thanks for the help with the c2 car looks gleaming ill fire couple of photos up tomorrow as it's too blood cold now to take photos

 

[Amos91]

Quick question chaps. Does the hot wheels wheel cleaner strip off any protection? I'm guessing it does but wanted to make sure... Did have C2v3 on them.

 

[Yellow Dave]

I have to admit this is what I normally get with the likes of C1.5, C2, etc no matter what the base.

The impressive water behaviour never lasts in my uses.and they've never been anything special at resisting bonded contaminants. I only intend to use them as top up products from now on

@gally @Scrooge

I use around 30ml per car ish.
