Heres some of mine this morning, was cleaned 3 weeks ago using AG Shampoo, Poorboys Black Hole Glaze & Natty's Blue Paste Wax. Not even been cleaned since then so the beading is still pretty good!

How'd it go JD?

Cracking Ant. Really was. Friday was spent dicking about in the cars on the way up, then 80s LM cars zipping round until 7pm, while getting some sun, boozing and BBQing. Saturday we walked round more as it was packed with metal and women, Aston parade lap in the DB7 Vantage Volante, more racing and then drank with the BRDC lads and lasses we know, BBQ'd through a monsoon/hurricane, given an award (bottle of nice whiskey) as a thank you, then proceeded to smash everyone at table football in a double decker car trailer until 3am... Sunday was decidedly quiet and wasted apart from a Porsche lap in the 991 soft top.
 
I think the products are fantastic, they work well, they don't need to give a glossy wet look or a swirl free shine, so they are good, relativity speaking

Agreed, but nothing like the amount of money and research goes into them as with standard paint finishes. So always leaves me wondering just how good they actually are, being such a tiny market.

LOL @those pics!

I'm ordering C2V3 now. I may also order some of the spray sealant that's on my car now, it came with last months waxy box it really is quite good. The beading is very tight!

i would highly recommend the swissvax opaque range (pre cleaner, shampoo, wax) it so easy to use and it adds depth to the matt finish, agreed the market is very small and not as much money will of gone into it, conversely, how much do they need to put in to make their product better than a competitors (when there barely isn't any in this niche), but i believe a company like swissvax wouldn't put their name on the bottle if it was a load of s**t,

Do you know what it was Ant?

My car with Reload is pretty dirty now. Beading isn't very uniform but run off when driving and normal sheeting is performing very well. Even had hairy @ss'd builders commenting on it.
The wifes Focus with C2v3 hasn't covered that many miles since application but beading is fantastic, so tight and uniform I'm very pleased with it. I can see why Toby is topping it neat every week ;)

I've applied it over a base of tripple, one side has illusion the other has capture the rapture then C2 over everything, so curious to see how well it holds up over a less than ideal base
