Anyone tried Carbon collective platinum paint sealant? Used it twice now and very disappointed with it both times, will not be using it again.

What didn't you like about it?

I won a bottle of IO but seemed a bit week. Again Korrosol by BH was the only thing that came close and was a tad thicker. IX is still market leader by far.

Was a mild day but seemed to dry incredibly quick and not as easy to apply as iron x

AF waxmate is brilliant.

 

[imprezaworks]

In what way mate, just ease of use?

Yeah, I've had mine a while and it hasn't broken up.

It also fits and can be stored in your tub of AF wax.

 

[Gally]

Yeah the Waxmate is a very good one, really enjoyed using it recently.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers kev. Will give af a ring as I'd like it by thursday if poss

I take it they are leather? I asked the same a little while ago and bought ltt solutions stuff. Expensive but seemed to work fine and the seats look great.

 

[just-that-ek]

Half leather

Thank I'll have a look into that

Finally got around to applying some Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid to my car the other week and have to say I'm pretty impressed with it.

Didn't initially seem to be that special upon application, but when it came to washing the car yesterday, I was amazed at the level of beading it gave.

Bouncers products are now on Amazon with free delivery.

Need a new QD myself, want a 500ml ish bottle. What do you recommend?

 

[Gally]

QD? Buy done and dusted. My Z6 will be used for priming pads, that's how good it is now.

Wow, right ill buy some of that then! I'll go amazon if you think it's the best way to buy then?

 

[Gally]

Free delivery definitely.

 

[imprezaworks]

Done and dusted pretty good then?

 

[V6Dan]

Or do what I do.. Add the done and dusted to your cart and then talk yourself into spending another £65 on stuff I don't really need just to qualify for free postage.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha. May grab a bottle of this

 

[ADS_V6]

Looks epic mate. I tried again the other day and I get a f**k load of product build up on the pad where it clogs, even on the first lap of the day? Should I be using more lubricant or am I over lubricating?

I used a new pad today and cleaned it after every use (err, every 'section' of a panel) with a medium/stuff bristled tooth brush.

I have it a Quick Mist with water before applying 4/5 little blobs and polishing... Then after each pass on each speed, I quickly felt the pad for heat and moisture, If it was too warm or dry Id give it another mist with water. It seemed to keep build up to a minimum.

Done and dusted is awesome smells to nice to be a QD.

bouncers new shampoo cleans so well to.

Looking at stripping the wax off the Clio to start again.

I've read some use fairly liquid to remove old wax?

 

[Gally]

Some IronX doing it's thing. Still King of the Hill...

Yeah lots do but I would just De tar, De iron and clay or use a cleanser such as like prime or rejuvenate

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok cheers. It was only as I was off and giving the Clio a once over later, hopefully.

 

[Bear Head]

Everyone's different and im sure will paddle in with other suggestions but the general consensus is to just do it this way, problem is it removes your polishes and glazes too haha abd turns into an epic job every time I start I can't stop lol

 

[imprezaworks]

I may give it a blast later, will be polishing and waxing too
