Safe, yes. But I believe it's a gloss enhancing shampoo so leaves something behind that may affect your wax or sealant. I would imagine after washing a wipe down with a good detailing spray would help.
I used it for years non the wiser till I started using bare shampoos

Struggled to get good results with tripple yesterday, made a small difference but nothing like the pictures in the showcase thread on DW. I was in the cool shade and it didn't seem to be drying fast or anything. Not sure if I'm expecting too much as it was quite swirly though.
I decontaminated and taped lol. 3 small dots of tripple with each hit, pad did appear to get quite a bit of product build up in it and it was a chem guys hex white pad.
Think the pad was just soaking all the product up tbh and it didn't seem to want to turn clear (oily residue) on the paint which iirc is how the tripple works? I worked it for quite a while which I thought would me more than enough by DA too.
I'm going to tape up a section and do a bit by hand then wax it up, when the sun comes down I'll have a look with a light see if it's any better when I do it by hand.

It can't really be construed as a polish mate so it's hard to use it like one. You aren't polishing, you're simply working it into the paint at 2 lowest speeds really, helping fill the marks.
I found Tripple not great on Clio paint tbh. It's rock hard and the filling isn't as good as some glazes. It will remove some oxidisation and some light marks, especially with a white hex but you were maybe expecting too much.
Oh and you need a pad cleaning brush as glazes and aios clog up pads like that easily.

Yeah it made the paint look better for sure and I'd say its made a slight improvement on the minor swirls, just was hoping for better results after seeing the showcase pics.
I'll be trying by hand next time I think.
Quick question for future then... When I next apply by hand do I need to strip the wax on there? Or just apply the tripple and re-wax the car.

Interesting that. I was looking forward to using it by machine, having been mightily impressed by my bodged hand application. Perhaps I'll stick to hand then C2V3 as the car looks like glass.
Also, as Kev has already said, it's not a polish, so it won't go clear. It's an AIO so will actually haze and cure, as was the case with mine. But yes, even with hand app the pads clog very quickly. Had to use two pads and done half the car over three nights (about an hour a time), washing and drying out the MF hand pads inbetween.

Lol yeah I'll be trying by hand next time. Is tripple sufficient enough on its own then? Asin it not nessecary to wax ontop straight away? Mine did haze and left a residue similar to wax and was nice and easy to buff off.
I'm sure it will be fine by machine probably just me being a mong :

tripple will add a little protection, but doesn't last more than a month / 6weeks before it's gone.
You can wax or seal over it but be aware that due to the fillers and wax base of the product, not all waxes and sealants will take well over the top. Some will fail very quickly whereas some show no changes in performace. choose your LSP wisely is all I will say

I need to organise and upgrade my detailing cabinet.
I know the feeling. Although mines almost tidy at the mo!

While we're at it 'borrowed' these great stackable boxes from work to put everything in.

Would anyone be interested in a 30ml sample of autofinesse illusion? I have 3 empty sample pots to use up and using hardly any illusion to coat a car.
rough price would be £18.50 posted or £19 recorded

Personally I'd be going with Tripple then Illusion for FCS.

I can't imagine it being a bad product. all of them seem to work well, but I do personally prefer IX

Would work well as it's so easy to use. wouldn't matter if any got on hoses / engine etc
I went over all mine with AF Tripple when I first got it but slowly taking it all apart and coating it with GTechniq C1

There are products like AF citrus power, carplan rapid dirt shifter

Regarding the tripple application I was discussing the other day.. I'm sure the swirls are more noticeable, I'm fairly confident I didn't inflict more marks with the pad as it was brand new and it wasn't dropped on the floor by me at all. Clay bar barely picked anything up as the oblitarate and ironx pretty much removed all contaminants.
But just now with the sun reflection off my car they are really noticeable still, I'm sure by looking it looks like less swirls but they are more noticeable now.. Not sure if that makes sense but is it possible that is the case?

It sounds like you've cleared out some previous fillers, but Tripple hasn't re-filled them... utterly confuddled, but either way, it's user error (i.e. your faul, fucktard ).
It's a paint that you live a million miles away as I'd be more than willing to pop over and help. Anyone near to you that posts regularly on here that could help?

f**ked off to the max as I spent a day baking my f**king balls of for what looks like f**k all. The side that isn't in the sun looks amazing though lol.
Not sure tbh lol, I'll have to have another crack with the tripple sometime.
With my last RB I did the works with menz polish took forever but it looked amazing after and was really proud of myself, thought I'd piss this with tripple but nothing.
