Along with other things.....

DODO Juice - Born to be mild shampoo 500ml, as i want to try it out.
Menz Final Finish
Sfx2 Polishing pad (To replace 83 and shitty megs foam pads)
Snowfoam
2 Miracle Dryers
Megs last touch - a a drying aid
Carnuba spritz

Some CG Coconut airfreshner

And finally some Swissvax saphir and a foam applicator pad.


Anything youd choose over one of those products and why ?

I ordered the Dodo wash and Miracle Dryers last night too !

 

[Michael172]

Dammit lol. hope did be able to give you some advice for a change !!

Ali says theyre good and my Der wunders are a bit s**t now.

 

[Rich]

Looks a good list, bar the Airfreshner, I just use good old AG Autofresh still and don't trust Snowfoam !

 

[Michael172]

Snowfoam is brilliant, doesnt strip like people say but you need to get the mix right, and the cleasning action it has is also good.

Im on the search for a good airfreshner. Autofresh is good and ive still got it and still use it, new car small is disgusting.


Any other wax youd use instead ?

 

[Rich]

Over Saphir, yeah BOS ! lol

 

[Michael172]

lol. IF i find ive got a few extrs coins left then i may just. Does it really give that good a finish ? i still use srp as a base lol, i should really get somehitng else like lime prime or the cleaner fluid ?

Btw does cleaner fluid need to be applied via pc ? I take it its a polish.

 

[Rich]

Looks wise not much a tad better, comes into it's own after a few washes when it looks as good as it was just applied still.

I use the Medium CF by machine, the normal just by hand.

 

[Michael172]

So i take it just polish the car with cf, and apply wax straight afterwards.

I'd swap the Carnuba Spritz for Zaino Z-6. I've not tried the Sonus one personally, but i rate Z-6 above the clearkote one.

As for wax, personally I can't see myself using a wax again in the future, as I would have to spend mega money to get the same finish as I'm getting now with Zaino. Plus I love the crisp look a sealant gives and also the flake pop.

I'd invest in some Z-8 if I were you. Can be used over a carnuba too.

 

[Michael172]

ill stick with the sonus, i like it and like rich says, sometimes its worth sticking with.

I like wax, much more than sealant. I might try it in the future though after my Jett stuff has run out.

Standard CF is more of a pre wax cleaner than a polish, but yeah that then wax, or SRP, Jeffs and then the Saphir.

I don't use CF much TBH - Menzerna Final Finish and straight to Wax works for me.

If your just after a great shine and not too bothered about sacrificing a bit of durability I would go for a glaze, wouldn't personally bother with the more expensive wax though, have seen BoS and Saphir in the flesh and couldn't tell much/ if any difference compared to the Onyx I use, apparently it is more durable but if you are waxing every month or so anyway that really doesn't matter.

Sonus Caranuba Spritz is a really nice product and something I have stuck with for a while but might give the Britemax stuff @ i4detailing a go as its meant to be as good just more cost effective.

 

[The Big Yin]

Nice list like my Duragloss 901 too much to change as for the shitty Megs pads have to disagree mines have seen plenty of use and are fine no problems LC ones are just as good tho.

Seems to be a lot of people converting to Zaino. I love Werkstat but might have to try some when its finished Miracle dryers are next too.

Sometimes it is better to stick with what you know i recently bought Britemax polishes for the pc for a change from the usual Menzerna and i just dont seem to get along aswell with them - nothing wrong they do the job but i just prefer working with the Menz
