In answer to this, yes, you can paint it on. Several members have either painted it on, or sprayed the area, then used a paint brush to ensure an even coat.

Currently using valet pro advanced neutral snow foam and don't think it works as well as avalanche did. AB Magifoam and supersnowfoam before this and they were on par with ANSF.
Try some carplan rapid dirt shifter sprayed around the car, left to dwell then pressure rinsed off, worms just as well

Guys, a bit of advice if poss please.
All three of my cars are now covered in AF triple and Zymol carbon. When it comes to washing them, what should I be using as a shampoo and what is the best product to get them looking pimp again? Can I give another coat of zymol? Should I use AF triple or will that remove the previous zymol? Quick detailers any good?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Tripple will remove whatever waxes and glazes are already on there.
You can re layer the carbon (awesome wax by the way) provided that after you've washed the car its still coming up spotless. You don't want to wax over dirt or contaminants that won't wash off.
A quick detailing spray like AF finale, zaino z6 are great for bringing the just waxed look after washing, finale is very good at removing water marks if you suffer from hard water.
With newer type spray sealants like reload and C2, there is the option to apply them over a wax as they seem to bond fine, to keep the looks of a wax, but also add more protection and improved water behaviour.

Hoping someone can help, The black leather seats in the Pug are not wearing as well as the Clios 'leather' seats did, Remember seeing someone using some special pen to almost colour in where the leather had lightened, Think it may have been Chappers but can't be certain.
Can someone point me in a direction to find such a product.

Quick question, which will prob lead to a simple answer..
hi have a white car and just tried waxing it with some chemical guys 3x.. Now I like the wax but as my new car is white it's so difficult to see where I have been / missed..
Is there coloured waxes that will be better to use on a white car??

Well it's a lot easier to use, spray on wipe on, then remove so not much chance of leaving anything on the surface.

A wax can last 4weeks to 6months plus, as can a sealant. All depends on the individual product.
For sub £10 C2 is a great buy

You can do if you want to use in a quick detailer type fashion but still add protection.
For full functionality, on a prepped and dry car, spray onto panel and wipe on to spread, then buff off, job done.

Chaps, is ford paint renowned for being soft?! I had to do a correction on a 60 plate panther black fiesta today and had loads of issues with marring. I got there in the end but I'm wondering if there's another product best suited to that particular paint. FYI I was using chemical guys 3N.
I can't say i've ever been impressed with CG polishes mate after lots and lots of testing. Always end back at menz.
Ford paint imo is the epitome of medium paint. But imo, edging more towards soft.
You can't call it soft because it's nothing like, Subaru, Honda, Porsche et al.
You using a Rotary still mate? DA takes longer but i've been enjoying using it again recently.

My focus is on the softer side of medium.
Managed to nip out a few minor marks with my old EP800 and rejuvenate, a pre wax cleanser with mild abrasives

Does anyone have enough wheel sealant to do 4 wheels they could sell to me in a spare pot. Im getting 4 new tyres back on the turinis so have cleaned them but would like to seal before i have them fitted. I don't want to buy a full tub as they aren't perfect anyway and only need to do them this time before they go on.

Cheers mate will do. Im on DW but not really an active user so didn't know if i could stick a wanted thread up over there, might have a look on.
Nice one mate.
I think Sonax is awesome personally. Not the slickest of finishes immediately after but it seems to settle down and it's not very often that I rub my naked skin against my car paintwork...
Sheeting and beading performance lasts for ages and it's so easy to apply. I've never had an issue with smearing or needed a second MF to remove. Probably no better than C2V3 which I have no experience of but it's the best thing I've ever used.
