Hey people. Thought I'd share my progress on the hombrewing front. After alot more trials & testing I am even closer to a wax I'm happy with. I'm still unsure on colourings & scent but that is somthing I'm still trying out. I'm now on batch 16. The last two batches were very good so I decided to try them head to head.
So the bonnet was the only area I wanted this as the rest of the car is wearing Jays Hybrid wax which is still going strong!
The bonnet was clayed & cleansed wth Lime Prime, washed & dried.
Batch 15, a fairly hard wax & quite grabby to apply.
Batch 16, a lovely texture. Very lubed up. Really nice to use imo.
So, 15 applied. This wax was easy enough to spread, but some qd on the app would make it an ease to use. I found this was best buffed off straight away after applying it to the half of the bonnet. Left a little marring so required a second buff.
Now onto batch 16. This is my fave out of all I have done. Love the texture, how easy it is to spread & buff. It actually cured after about 1 minute, was really pleased.
Now the water behaviour. Sheeting is good on both, but doesn't completely rinse off leaving a few water beads in places. I don't mind this as I want the beading & hopefully durability. I think Batch 15 just had the edge, beading wise but looks 16 has it.
Hope I haven't bored you too much! Cheers
