Wax for Blackgold 182

[Gus]

I want to buy some wax for my BG 182 for summer use. It doesnt need to last ages as I like car cleaning in the summer. I dont want to spend stupid amounts. I spotted this Chemical Guys back luminous glow wax http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/chemical-guys-black-luminous-glow-wax/prod_1174.html that sounds pretty good but is a little pricey. Has anyone used it.

Can you recommend me some good wax that has high gloss levels.

Also do I use poorboys black hole before or after waxing?

Gus Poorboys is a glaze so i used it before wax (i think). I rated dodo juice purple haze wax on my black car. Came up lovely

I'd also rate dodo juice red mist on top of a chosen wax as a quick detailer on black, let me know if you order will get some too.

I was impressed with r222 carnauba wax. Maybe worth a look, nothing wasted on this wax plain packaging and scent from memory but decent wax for summer.

Probably going to order some stuff later in the week, Need some new wax, clay + quickdetailer and possibly some pads for the polishing machine. You should come over and we can machine polish both our cars. Have fun in Paris !

Britemax Vantage is my new favourite.

Capture the Rapture or Illusion would probably put it to shame for looks alone.

I have a panel pot of dodojuice purple haze and blue velvet I've only used each on half a car that I don't want anymore. You can have them for a few £

Sorry for late reply mate, I do have a panel pot of blue velvet, wife keeps thinking its lip balm lol.

I ended up going for this in the end as it was cheap and had some good reviews. Anyone used it:
Chemical Guys Petes 53 Paste Wax .

Out of interest how do you guys normally apply the wax to a pad? I normally use a credit card to apply it like butter to a pad. I normally use a hex logic RED finishing pad to apply it to the whole car.

 

[Yellow Dave]

You're applying by machine? Never done it as I enjoy waxing to much.
Just use a nice soft foam applicator like a megs yellow foam or autofinesse wax mate, half a turn in the pot of wax and crack on

Bouncers check the fleck or capture the rapture look awesome for the price

I have petes 53, find it really nice, I've only ever used ag hd before that and a few dodo juice ones, but petes 53 is my favourite!

 

[GeorgeH]

Plus it smells good too!

Have you used this yet?

I'm also looking into getting some for my Black Gold 182, I dont have a machine polisher but assume that it would still give a good look applying by hand?

Fusso 99 ..... Awesome wax with 12 month protection and fills swirls too

 

[Yellow Dave]

You've seen 12 months of protection from it?

 

[Gus]

Going to be using Petes 53 on thursday or friday depending on the weather.

Do you have any befores and afters of the swirl filling? I've not heard of a wax that offers that.

 

[raviedavie]

Pop on to detailing world mate and search it. Lots of reviews on there. I did my RB with the fusso 99 then topped it with the fusso Authentic and it looked stunning !

 

[Yellow Dave]

A few of the oils in waxes will have a minor filling ability, but this is often short lived. I've not heard of a sealant paste wax/ hybrid doing it though

 

[Gally]

Fusso does fill slightly but so do lots of waxes. Lusso filled a lot due to the oils also.

53' is good. 50/50 is a great wax, sadly it comes in a metal tin, I simply cannot go back to that. Fusso had such cool packaging but the tin let it down. As did a lot of other things.

 

[Jay.S]

So is this Fusso stuff worth buying?

Do tell!
Or did it just not live up to the Second Coming levels of hype?

 

[Knuckles]

I've never heard of that. Every day is a school day though

 

[raviedavie]

I rate it quite highly personally. On my girlfriends black type R is covered a multitude of sins especially without having no other prep at all
