Recommend a wax....

Upto £30, good for dark metallics (blue), appearance main concern rather than durability. Currently thinking DodoJuice Blue velvet or Purple Haze as I really like the Light Fantastic I have for the cup at the moment, but would like some recommendations.

Hmmm, Dodo stuff is really good mate, not the most durable so i'd go for purple haze "pro"

Buy a sample pot for £10.. http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Dodo_Juice_Purple_Haze_Pro30_1.html

That'll do your car 8-10 layers if you're really easy and apply it thinly. Get a dodo finger mitt if you can.

If you like it buy a full pot. £30 is a hard budget mate is kinda middle of the road and here are lots of waxes but some will last 6 months and look average and useability is average others won't last past 3 months but will look good and not set like concrete.

I use Victorias Concours on mine...

Lols I was editing my thread to include vics when the phone went. Good taste mate.

Bargain, known for it's looks and beading over it's durability.

Also maybe worth looking at the sealant route? Car will repel dirt and water a bit better than a wax but won't bead quite aswell. This offers 6 months protection with the right application...

Autoglym HD wax online is under £30, I really rate it and think it looks lovely on the LY. I'm yet to try the DJ waxes though as the reports of poor durability put me off, as incase I can't wash and reapply regularly I'd need to start again. tempted by a panel pot of orange crush or bannana armour to try over the summer though

I'm half way through a Dodo juice panel pot and have applied around 5 layers, value for money!

Also it smells amazing and it's fun applying by finger.

Missed the sample pot of purple haze pro earlier, might try that. Though vic contours is a good shout also. Cheers for the suggestions guys!

Can't really go wrong with Dodo waxes imo. Collinite 476 is awesome stuff aswell especially when you factor price in

 

[slob]

Just used vics today. It was my first time using it and found it amazing. Was easy to apply with a foam applicator and buffed of really nicely with a microfibre. I done the whole car and hardly used any. God knows how many coats the tub could do.

Collinite 915 brilliant on dark cars.

 

[Tom82]

I use poorboys Natty's Paste Wax, brilliant results and smells great

 

[martijn_b]

Collinite 476S as the first coat, then top with Mothers Reflections Top Coat for an immense shine.

But, there are sooo many combinations to make and products to go for..

collinite 476 works a treat on my bg to be honest. very happy with it and seems to last!
a quick wipe over with quick detailer after giving it a wash brings it up a treat.
