No on the fusso but if you are after some Vantage get on to Dom at ShopN'Shine, he is doing them for £25 at the moment. I bought one last week.
Sounds like C2 might have been a better shout now. Was a sealed 50ml sample bottle though and I didn't have a spray head on me for it which is why I just grabbed the TC. One thing though, how do you know when a sealant has cured properly? I always though it would haze a little but I never really saw it haze at all.
Spray sealant are 99% wipe/spray on and wipe off really. TC may be slightly different but C2 reload and even V7 are on WOWO.
Understandable without a spray head mate. You want some Reload 14' to try Stu? I have a few small spray bottles around.

I'm a big fan too, has a lovely feel for a budget wax.
Maybe adds a bit if charm the cheaper style pot hence why the product is so we'll priced. BM don't make a bad product really.
I've really gone off AG HD again, I went through this before. It's become grabby by comparison to vantage and Finis wax. It's durability is still insane but i'm enjoying ease of use just now.

Currently trialling britemax vantage side by side against megs ultimate paste wax, one front wing and half a bonnet each on the Mrs car. Panels were clayed, hand polish with P1 and IPA wipe down mid to end of December and both are still beading and sheeting well with megs removing more water quicker at the moment.
I like a lot of the britemax range so was considering buying vantage for a long time, but there's something about it that just can't quite sell it to me. I think it's the fact it's so hard and requires working on the pad, although it spreads effortlessly and removes just as easily
Can't make my mind up to purchase a full pot yet when I have the megs as a cheap and easy alternative

I could be doing with trying something like Reload on the dci actually, a little sample to try would be very helpful mate yeah!
Just with you mentioning it there, how did you rate the Fusso wax when you tried it btw? A mate of mine used it after polishing one of the most colossal bird s**t etchings (imagine birds learned how to carpet bomb...) out my brothers car back in I think July or August last year, and although the beading is gone now you can tell it's still holding up alright.
I don't see the point in long lasting waxes personally when you can use sealants instead but it doesn't seem to be far off it's claim of 12 month durability to me.
I have always found that with AG HD personally.. It's probably been a good 3 years since I last used it.
I do fancy going back to some old school products soon. I think I'm going to invest in some DJ bits, haven't used any of their stuff in ages!
If I had an Imperial Blue car or similar I'd have a pot of Purple Haze, I love the stuff. It was my first real cool wax. 476, Autosmart and HD before that. Still remember using it for the first time, felt like it transformed the paint.
I need an Frp to stick 7 layers on it!

I bought some Jetseal last week. It was the first sealant I ever used so I'm looking forward to another go with it

Ah, to add to the mix, I recently bought some lime prime, purple haze and blue velvet panel pots to retry after not using them since I first started out
So, the britemax or dodojuice combos? Which do you prefer?

Ah jetseal, the ultimate base!I bought some Jetseal last week. It was the first sealant I ever used so I'm looking forward to another go with it
Hmmm dodo have better prep products imo. I like britemax spray detailer. Shampoo is awesome. Grime out is great.
Both have their pluses. I actually don't think there is one range I could live with....
Golf GT & A4 Avant
Agreed I like the britemax pre prep range, but for this argument lets keep it to say britemax AIO, blackmax and vantage against DDJ need for speed, lime prime and purple haze
I'm already a firm believer in grime out, clean max and spray and shine. Products I'd always be happy to buy again

Oh man, I love that stuff! Where did you manage to get that from? DW?
Any of you lot used Primo Amigo with a Wax/sealant before?
I'm tempted to try a wax on my brothers ST and the Megane soon just for a change to the usual sealants but have no idea what to go for. TBH i much prefer sealants so something that i can get in a small size would be idea, Unless one of you generous chaps has anything kicking about...

Bought a bottle from Elite Car Care. Pricier than I remember! :0

Anyone tried any of the sonax range other than BSD? i4detailing will be stocking the majority of the range and as they're my preferred retailer I fancy trying more of their products.
@Kyle 86 won me over with their turbo detailer. Polymer net shield although being a bit naf to apply is a great performer. BSD mixed with other products like CG V7 or C2 removes the poor application and improves slickness. Full effect wheel cleaner didn't really wow me over general wheel cleaners.
What are people's thoughts on them

Anyone have any experience with this paint depth gauge? (CEM DT-156) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391036325006?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Opinions seem quite mixed on detailing world, or can anyone recommend a better one within that price range?

Toughcoat works fine over rejuvenate. I couldn't personally see any difference in performance when applied over tough prep instead of rejuvenate
Golf GT & A4 Avant
Desire has far better durability than toughcoat. But when toughcoat is as quick and easy to use as a QD you could just keep adding layers after a general maintenance wash provided the panels still come up clean
I presume the finish of desire is better than tough coat or are they relatively similar?
How did you find the Fusso?
Just seen how cheap it is but all the hype it got by pretty much every man and his dog who was a "detailer" put me right off it.
I use LC or CG Hex pads usually, although of late I have been using KochChemie pads and compounds quite a bit.
It's good and withstood G101 diluted hits which impressed. The tub etc is awesome. Really quirky. I just have a few waxes and sealants to use up.
Discount for members.
Nice. Spreads well, not quite as soft oily as some but goes far on not much, plenty of removal time with thin layers although best to follow instructions by the letter according to the makers.
