water

 

[Limca]

lol ^^

 

[cK]

I was gonna piss over it, but water would be a big help I suppose. I'll have to drain it from the toilet.

 

[Gareth]

P21s Carnauba over NXT wax.

 

[cK]

How is it beneficial?

 

[V1NNY]

wash mit, OCW maybe

 

[cK]

Arent the wash mits a bit of a waste of money?

 

[Middo]

P21's gives a really intense shine, but doesnt have the resilliance of the NXT tech, so its like a double benefit when the shine from the P21's fades you've got the NXT tech

 

[cK]

I think i'll just stick with the NXT tech

 

[V1NNY]

i got a few a mits from alex at serious performance at a good price

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

As above, ditch the sponge, mits are much kinder.

 

[cK]

Where's best place for them and how much am I expected to pay?

I would apply some AG EGP after the AG SRP for a better gloss finish.

 

[V1NNY]

wheres the cheapest place for EGP? in shops or on the net?

 

[cK]

Well i'll try and get a wash mit 2moro when i'm out. Halfrauds sell them?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

I got my EGP from the local retailer which is more than Halfords but that wasn't too bad, it as £8.99 for 325ml. Don't really know of any places online for it, by the time you've got postage the local shop is about the same really.

They do two Meg's ones, best one people go for is the lambs wool one.

 

[cK]

Megs lambs wool from Halfrauds?

 

[Rich]

A Carnuba wax over the sealant ie your NXT in this case will enhance the looks well, it will give a deeper wetter gloss that most sealants can't. A worth while step.

I would also ditch the NXT and use Autoglym Extra Gloss, givws much better protection,

 

[cK]

Thanks for tips. I've bought the stuff now so i'm gonna give it a go. Will see how I get on but will take in your comments for future purchases.

Can I get a good lambswool mit from Halfords or other retail stores?

 

[Rich]

Halfords sell there own grey lambswool ones in most stores I have been into.

 

[cK]

and is that good enough?

 

[Rich]

They are fine.

Pic the softest one they have, I have had about 3 of them, 2 where great, but one was a bit ropey!

But the same is true for other brand ones, at least buying in store you can pick the best one.

 

[cK]

Thanks mate.

To add more shine, you need to polish your paint before using a sealant.

P21s from here http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/

The wax or sealant is just the icing on the cake.

 

[FiDoDiDo]

After the clay use AG SRP and then AG EGP.

 

[kpowell911]

Rich: Thanks again, what polsih do you recomend? in between claying and NXt?

 

[Rich]

As Ben say's you cant go wrong with good old Autoglym Super Resin Polish or a Mild polish/Glaze such as Clearkote Vannilla Moose Hand Glaze.

 

[kpowell911]

thanks

 

[kpowell911]

GRRR is P21 avaliable from anywere with online ordering? Serious performance dont allow this.

Everytime I enter this forum, I spend money

ORdered some Autoglym SRP, so my cleaning order should go:

Hose Car Down
Water + Gold Class (with a Lambswool Mitt, and 2 Buckets)
Hose Car Down
Clay Whole Car whilst wet using a bit of Quick Detailer
Dry Car With a microfibre
Polish With Autoglym SRP
Wax With NTX or Gold Class Liquid Wax (Which is best, Have Both)
Then Finish off with P21s?

 

[Rich]

www.cleanandshiny.co.uk also do it with online ordering. Alex should have the same function at SP soon though which is good news.

 

[kpowell911]

lol we posted @ the Same Time, Thanks once againfor your help Rich:

Does my Cleaning cycle posted above look ok to you?

I always apply waxes/polishs with a Foam applicator, take off with a microfibre and buff with a terry towel? Correct?

 

[Rich]

I would

Hose Car Down
Water + Gold Class (with a Lambswool Mitt, and 2 Buckets)
Hose Car Down and then

(a) Clay Whole Car whilst wet using a soap and water mix, rinse and dry the car with Microfiber drying towel.

or

(b) Dry Car the car, Clay Whole Car using plenty of Quick Detailer

Polish With Autoglym SRP
Seal with NTX x2
Then Finish off with P21s

 

[Hotshot]

emphasis on the plenty, QD is what, a 5'er a bottle? clay streaking will give u a helluva lot more pain than 5 quid

 

[kpowell911]

Thanks Rich, Ordered some P21S® Concours Carnauba Wax (Hope thats the right one???) and the SRP.

When you say NTX x2, you mean NXT it TWICE?

 

[Rich]

Thats the one.

Yeah - Do 2 applications/coats of NXT to make sure you get 100% coverage.
