Show off your beading

What are you pitching HD at though? As it's 241 in Halfrauds . . . And if you're comparing it at full price, do Carbon and Onyx not get a say?
Lol. *make sure your more specific when it comes to the write up due to pedantic c-units*.
Tested it against 2 other waxes you could pick up for £30 online.
Expand Ads mate? Which one, as currently looking into sorting one for my new windows.
Was great meeting you yesterday mate. Hope it didn't take too long to get home. When we've got a thread up I'll put some comment in there saves stealing this one lol.
I'm kinda glad it rained though so you could see the rain repellent.
Hope the beading shots came out nicely =D
Its called Comma Pro-Vision Rain Repellent.

I've been using it for years. Its a gel based product that you apply, leave for around 10-15 mins and buff off. Little more effort required to remove than a normal wax, but its a different type of product.
Last 6 months ish easily (with a wax safe shampoo).
Above 60mph you have 0 need for wipers.
Lol, Jamie, very nice lad.
See I've seen that before but always been put off by my experiences with RainEx and other lesser names. But reapplying wax every month is tiresome for the beading it gives, although as said, over 5/60 is awesome watching the droplets move.
Will have a read up - cheers buddy.

I was driving home in the rain and motorway yesterday at around 75-80 and didn't need my wipers!
Can't comment on durability but very cool!
Good to meet you too Mark, yesterday is really appreciated. I'll leave you to put a thread up if you want when you have the pictures... will try and get some dry shots on the weekend when I can give it a clean.

I have indeed mate, yesterday. I'm respecting Mark's discretion a bit with regards to 'advertising' but I'm very impressed with what was achieved in such a comparatively short time. I'll let him do any write-up he wants to do if he does...
Will chuck a beading pic up when I get home. Nice and tight.

Rest are on their way to you in the morning Mark - 96 photos.
Thanks :approve:
Ummm see if I can remember!
Pressure wash
AG Intensive Tar Remover
AG Shampoo, Wash Mitt, 2BM
Dry Mf towels
Meguiars Clay Kit
Turtlewax Nanotech Extreme (I think was my friends, normally use SRP)
EGP - slapped it on a bit thick!
AG HD Wax 2 coats
Took us all day to do that! and I ended up doing the second coat the following morning :lolup: We also had the front wheels off for some Wonder Wheels as they needed it. They then got polished with TW Nano Tech and sealed with poorboys. Put another coat off PB on at the weekend when I painted the calipers, back could do with another lot (haven't done the rear calipers yet).

Which reminds me I was going to ask how often you'd recommend re-applying wax? I do quite low milage but do go down country lanes occasionally and it's parked outside overnight but underground when at work.
Only my second car and the first time I've ever waxed and I love how easily dirt falls off!
OT: Not really been that impressed with AG Shampoo as it doesn't seem too foamy and tends to look like I've just slapped loads of water on, no matter how much/little I put in the bucket!
Looks good buddy, but if I may?
Use the tar remover after you've washed the car. Other wise you will be rubbing dirt over the paint work as you remove the tar remover with the towel. Point two, don't use AG shampoo. Not a good one! If you're a Halfords shopper, try Meguirars Gold Class Shampoo. There are much better shampoos out there online as well.
Re the wax question, as and when the beading fails really buddy. I like to rewax every month, but I have a heated garage to use! Others tend to do it every 2-3 months.

Certainly mate, thanks for the tips!
Funnily enough I think I had actually started washing then rinsed off because I forgot to de-tar!
Yeah I usually get most bits from Halfords if I can, failing that i4D. Yeah I spotted Megs Gold Class and remember you recommending it. Only reason I grabbed AG was because 'if you have an itch, scratch it' and I can now confirm it is a bit poop! Still does the job but probaly not as well as others, it's by no means leaving any dirt on the car though!
Here is a shot of the Nanolex Nanowax on Ads' Bora.

Looks good Markie bud.

Not the best picture, but who needs £100 wax lol...
I've got a more expensive one, but that requires moving further than my pocket for the phone.
