This thread is here for all of our customers and members of the product test panel to submit reviews, pictures and discuss our show car wax, Illusion.
An overview of Illusion:
Detailing paintwork is the art of creating optical illusions, and in this art Auto Finesse Illusion is a true master. Made from a highly innovative blending of natural and man-made ingredients, Illusion’s sole purpose is to push the concept of a ‘Show Car Wax’ as far as it will go. Red glows like a molten pool of lava, metallic flake sparkles like a diamond in the sun, white assumes a gloss that has never before been seen, and black becomes a portal to another universe…. Is it magic, or just an Illusion?
Auto Finesse Illusion contains 48% T1 Grade Brazilian Carnauba Wax by volume, with the remainder being made up by synthetic polymers, and gloss-intensifying oils. The combination of these ingredients means that Illusion can provide 2-3 months of jaw-dropping beauty and durability. With a delicious strawberry liquorice scent, and effortless application, few want to wait that long before applying another coat anyway.
Preparing the surface:
To create the ultimate shine we always recommend that your vehicles paint work is polished prior to application of Illusion. Tripple will remove and mask any light surface defect whilst leaving behind a slick glazing oil for Illusion to bond to.
We recommend that you use a microfiber applicator to apply Tripple. Once you have worked Tripple into the panel and it has hazed over, remove any residue with a fresh microfiber cloth.
Application of Illusion:
Now your surface has been properly prepared its time to get waxing. Start by teaming Illusion and Waxmate together, then twist the Waxmate ninety degrees on Illusion. The oily nature of Illusion will insure that this is enough Illusion to coverage a medium sized panel.
Now using straight lines massage Illusion in one panel at a time. Once your whole vehicle is covered its time for removal.
Removal:
Illusion is very forgiving with its cure time as there is no set time. This makes it perfect if you are a time pressed detailer or if you are new to waxing. This flexible work time allows you to remove Illusion after waxing the whole vehicle.
When Removing Illusion make sure to use a clean microfiber towel. For this job we always turn to our Duo edgeless microfiber cloths. These offer a safer experience and have a larger work area that the standard 40x40cm microfiber cloth.
The Finishing Shots:
Once Illusion has bee fully buffed of you will be left with an Illusion on your paint surface. Its now that you will see Illusion's show car qualities shine through as you are left with a deep wet look paint surface.
Although Illusion only holds two to three months’ durability it still has out standing hydrophobic qualities. This makes Illusion perfect for a summer wax when you want rinse any dust off of your paintwork with an open end hose or for a quick snow foam and rinse.
We look forward to hearing and seeing your experiences with Illusion and results it leaves for you…
