All it says is 'nano gloss sealant' on the bottle.

Is there a code for the discount?
I want some Dlux for fresh wheels and some more Hydr02 etc.
Nice to get a little reward this weekend.
Winner of a show and shine at a small local show even tho I think I only won because people liked the car rather than how nice a job I'd made of cleaning it. Prize was a little trophy, pot of dodo supernatural and a fantastic fur microfibre, so I was happy none the less.
Added to the collection.
Also managed to get the car washed and dried tonight ready for another show next weekend. Got to say bouncers done and dusted does buff of very nicely. It also smells lovely. I wouldn't mind an air freshener with that scent.

Awesome. No surprise it won, awesome car superbly detailed.
I really need to start gathering some products. Done and dusted is top of list! A fine collection you have there.
I could do with a decent wax if anyone has some recommendations of a decent budget wax. Anything around the 20~30 region even worth a shot? Or if anyone here has some part used stuff they'd like to part with?

V6dans post reminded me of this

It suits liquid yellow so well.
I keep meaning to use it again but keep forgetting.
I'll have to make a point to use it this summer.
Brilliant. Cheers bud. That sounds ideal as the s3 I bought is red, so will suit both cars [emoji106]

I've just bought a pot, but still not used it.

Faster removal rate than a rotary, so be careful! xD I was speaking to a detailer about it on the weekend, a rotary he said on a car was removing around 5 microns per pass, where as this was doing around 20! Not sure on car/paint though, didn't go into specifics.

Where I live (near ind estate) and with the Sahara b*****d sand around these parts, drying my car is really annoying, as its settling pretty Damn quick after washing it.
Been looking at the metro vac air blaster, or the smaller one, would this be a lot better?
I currently use a big yellow plush thingy of i4d I believe.

Tbh it's only good for blowing air out of small crevices. On a protected car I find that on big panels it just breaks the water down into lots more smaller beads. It does work, but it's less effective than you might imagine.
Open house douse does the vast majority of my drying
Genuine question, what about a leaf blower? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2921084.htm
They're around the same price as the pet hoovers, but surely push way more air, so better at drying? I guess it's not warm air which is the only thing, but that doesnt matter too much if you can move enough air to just move the water? Pretty cheap too!

Well this blows in excess of 200mph so I'm pretty certain it may work.

I know there has been a lot of discussion on 50 cal cover up etc but what would you guys use to glaze via DA...
50 cal cover up, Ultra Glaze or Prima Amigo?

I corrected it a while ago so tend to use tripple to cover up some minor marks. Just wondered if any of these products would give a better gloss / wet look.
Thanks Gally. Will get some once the reload 2015 starts to weaken - any excuse to try something new really!

When applying and removing car wax using an autofinesse wax mate, the wax feels very grabby going into the paint and also grabby to remove. I've tried priming the applicator with bouncers QD and obviously use some on removal too. Still grabby though. Why is it doing this? Oh and im not over applying the wax or underapplying for that matter haha.
The wax is euphoric by obsession detail, fooking awesome finish though!

Ah so you think it's more likely the wax than the applicator or application?

£6.25 shipping unless over £80 tho.

Was looking at that only a few days ago because of the price, weird its nowhere near that price anywhere else!
Have you tried something like Reload on your car? On silvers and white they really do come up well, even C2V3 for example.
Wax is nice, I love waxing still but it's old school and will never keep the car looking clean nor clean as easily as a sealant for eg. Adam's A3 he said still looks glossy after washing it's been a year since it was detailed. The Boss' 997T is the same wearing Reload.
Wax is justifiable in the summer because you can wax every week if you want due to the weather usually.

Ordered some, seemed a bargain for the money, if it ships (even more so than the £25), will reveal if it does ship.
No I haven't mate. Is it easy to apply?

Frost have had decent deals on the britemax range since before Christmas, originally with free postage over £40. it was picked up on DW some time ago and shortly after the free postage cut off was quickly increased.
www.shopnshine.co.uk are done a few deals with it reduced or as a cheap bundle since christmas,
