AG glass polish is mega dusty FYI (unless they've changed the formula from 5 years ago)

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah, not a fan of dust, pita.

Yeah they have a new formula

 

[imprezaworks]

Good?

 

[welsh.Z.S.]

Yeah I find it pretty good dude, I find for me it's the only glass cleaner/polish that doesn't leave streaks, all Imo of course, smells nice aswell lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Will give it a blast, and a nice smell is allways a bonus.

Well the decon is done on the RX8 and exhaust pipes given some attention but not much more I can do whilst it keeps raining

Ill try and double check next weekend

Quick question - With Rejuvenate, If I apply it to the car and then it rains can I just dry it off and carry on from where I was or will I need to re-apply?

 

[Coby.]

It's pissing me off Scrooge, Hardly any pics due to it raining almost constantly.

I'm sat here seeing if I can find anywhere to rent but doesn't seem like anything anywhere local to me

Auto Finesse would be best to ask, but id imagine you can just carry on as their products aren't too fussy for application.

 

[Scrooge]

Just carry on dude once it's dry dude

 

[Coby.]

Ta.

Just text the Girlfriends Brother (It's his car) to see if he has room in his workshop/barn for me to try and finish it off tonight as this rain has no intention of stopping long enough for me to do any good.

I have read 2 different posts recently and
1 has applyed tripple then rejuvenate then waxed
Then someone else has said
"rejuvenate will remove the majority of waxes and sealants including any base products underneath them such as tripple, leaving it's own mild base ready for waxing over."

so my question is are you wasting your time using rejuvenate after tripple?

 

[Yellow Dave]

Yes

If you want to use both, start with rejuvenate, then tripple over the top as the fillers will then sit over a base left by rejuvenate which leaves behind a little of its own oils but not so much fillers, but these will be removed by tripple.

lay tripple first, the fillers will be removed by rejuvenate which doesn not leave much in fillers behind

 

[aucky]

Yes. You could use it the other way around if you really wanted, using the Tripple as a glaze (because of its filler content)

[Amberlamps]

So would applying wax over tripple, instead of rejuvenate, affect the longevity of the wax?

Unlikely to be significant

 

[Amberlamps]

Alright cheers. Looks to be a nice, sunny day here tomorrow so can't wait to give the car a thorough detail!

Just need to decide whether to use my Desire sample or Mirage sample.

 

[aucky]

Use half on each, see which lasts longest
(Down the middle, not front/back)

 

[Amberlamps]

You know what, that's a great idea! Think i might just do that

 

[Cliotoby]

Was CP Reload designed to go over the top of CQUK almost immediately. To act as a barrier?

I remember the old C1 requiring 24 hours cure time.

 

[imprezaworks]

Happy to say I'm impressed with the sonax application. With the rain today it beaded nicely and when driving just rolled off the car, quite cool to watch lol

 

[Yellow Dave]

within an hour IIRC, to help stop water affecting the coating from curing

Cheers. Ill bang some sonax on. Be polishing the fucker next week.

 

[Coby.]

Not the best but I'm happy as is he for a first time use of my DA with Black Hex Logic and CG Blackhole

 

[Knuckles]

^ top job. Looks much better

 

[Scrooge]

Not bad for just black hole dude

 

[Coby.]

Cheers.... I was nervous to try and get too much from it being a Mazda, Forgotten my FlickR login so now loading a few extra pics on Photobucket, Nothing special as weather/time/light was against me

 

[ben lee]

the new version of ag glass polish is great and no dust. works as well as gtechniq g4 but alot better value.

You seriously would've been fine dude.

when you come down the unit I'll use the pdg and show you what it takes to take 1 or 2 microns off with a da and decent compound. I think you'll be shocked!

 

[Coby.]

I'll let you show me on my car... Probably need to show me on every panel though

He was more than happy with it so I'm pleased, A lot better result than his usual Turtle Wax efforts.

Black is seriously rewarding. I wish mine was black sometimes!
