My first claying

[DrR]

Washed, clayed, waxed then EGP'd

Like my new sticker on the rear to?

Not bad for 6 years and 62K

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Looks very shiny!

The wax should be after the EGP I'd had done SRP before EGP as well personally.

 

[DrR]

I did think the EGP should have been before, but kinda forgot to do it so put it on anyway, can't do any harm lol.

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Results are great anyway , just means you know for next time.

 

[Sarah]

v nice, uve done well

 

[DrR]

If anyone is worried about claying don't be, as long as you lube it i think it's pretty much impossible to scratch the car.

 

[Storm_Force]

Looks good (where are your washer balls?)

 

[DrR]

Bit of a private question

They have never been in there since i had the car. Didn't notice when buying it.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Car looks mint mate . Nice colour

 

[Rich]

Nice work - looks good, Got to love Flame, best 172 colour.

EGP wont last long after wax as it will not bond well. Also don't agree with the impossible to scratch thing - but done correctly there should be no reason it inflict any major marring.

 

[kully]

looks very very good for the age , nice work

 

[DrR]

It says put the EGP on after the super resin polish though? Arg i get confused. As long as it's shiny i'm happy.

 

[Rich]

Yeap thats correct.

So you Washed, clayed, polished (SRP) then Sealed with EGP'd

No waxing done then !

 

[DrR]

Didn't use SRP this time used the stuff that came free with the clay bar.

looks good.. whats happened to the missing bit on the headlight washer?

 

[imperial04]

also.... what does EGP stand for?

 

[Rich]

Argh right yeah EGP will struggle to bond well over the Cleaner Wax. AG say to use it over SRP which is a polish not a wax. As your pics show it looks good, you just wont see the 2-3 months protection the EGP can produce over a better base.

 

[Rich]

also.... what does EGP stand for?

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

 

[MRBILLYUK]

also.... what does EGP stand for?

Extra gloss protection

 

[DrR]

So next time i should wash, clay, SRP EGP then wax?

 

[kully]

yep .


now you need to choose a wax .....? lol

 

[Rich]

Indeed, don't use the Cleaner Wax after EGP as it will remove it.

That looks lovely with those wheels mate.Very nice

 

[MikeLYR27]

Yeah man looks wicked. i did mine today. Washed with 2 bucket method, then clayed certain areas and washed again. Then srp, cant find my agp so used some turtle wax nano-tec wax. Its a mild paste type s**t. Cant go wrong with that!

 

[DrR]

Am i ment to put something on after the SRP? never know lol. egp is to much effort, mainly cos i can't see it!

 

[AlexS]

Looks so tidy in the photos its hard to believe you've had such a rough time with it! Flame looks spot on sporting those 182 wheels.

Cheers, people say i should have bought a mint one so would have had less troubles, it is mint!

 

[MikeLYR27]

Flamers definatly have grown on me over the years! It does look really nice, i only ever liked black or silver on th172. But if i bought one now it would either be the monaco or flame. Pucka!

 

[Diesel_Power]

So next time i should wash, clay, SRP EGP then wax?

Thats the correct process yes. You dont need to repeat this process every sunday morning though.

If i were you on your next wash id take all the protection off you did this time round then SRP, EGP and Wax. Then just top up with wax. Looks a nice colour though.
