Waxybox chat thread

[Adamm.]

So following on from this thread.. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...-Waxybox-Subscription-Group-Buy!-%A340-all-in

I thought to save other threads being off topic and information being spread all over the forum I decided it'd be a good idea to make a dedicated thread for discussion on the waxybox group buy.

So here it is, you know what to do

 

[Coby.]

Great idea.... To avoid spoiling this months box what was everyone's opinions on last months contents?

Anyone order a larger version of any of it?

I'm yet to use half of it as didn't want to strip back my car to give it a fair test.

 

[JD]

Looking forward to August.

Lilke the banana spray air freshener, but would never use it in the car as I share it with others. Around the house, however... lol. The sealant I'm going to try on the spoiler, as recently Tripple/C2'd the whole car and love the sheeting, beading, looks, so don't want to interfer with that.

The Hubikote shampoo was a delight to use, and the "non-spotting" agent shone through for me as I'm in a very VERY hard water area. I'd be happy ordering a larger version.

Other stuff I'm yet to use.

 

[TTrev]

Joined this group buy as Ive done all the DodoJ/clay stuff etc with no real focus ... have no idea on the QD's/sprays/tardis/ironX etc etc although due to recent research
now know what they are all for .... I can get the car looking good but want it better

Ive got all the stuff I want from another thread in my ebay basket lol


thought I'd give this a go first

I only used this on my Fathers Silver Volvo but it did seem a lovely shampoo.

My water is fairly hard and it did seem to counteract that quite a bit.

 

[Kchristmas]

The hubikote shampoo ill be buying a larger item. The sealant wasnt too good although it was slick and easy to apply, just didn't perform well!

 

[Crybert]

Im dying to get mine through but it hasn't appeared today. Hopefully arriving tomorrow

 

[Jay.S]

I didn't get mine today decided the postman round mine is a c**t.

Anyone doing a spoiler?

 

[Lou]

Apparently mine has arrived today but I'm not home til 7th September!!

 

[Kchristmas]

Missed the delivery

 

[Adamm.]

I'm hoping mine will be there when I get home, not got my hope up yet though.

 

[Addicted]

Got mine today, I wont say any spoilers, but being my first box I'm impressed!

 

[scott.p]

Got mine today too, need to have a second look but first impressions seems like a nice selection.

As far as last months goes, I really liked the shampoo, I wasn't quite so impressed with the sealant or the tire shine.

I have a parcel waiting at home, one believes it's my waxybox...got to wait until tomorrow to find out though

 

[samroach]

Was on my doorstep when i got home, must say i was like a kid at christmas. Spent the last half hour smelling everything

 

[Adamm.]

Got mine

Quite happy with the contents, cant wait to try them out. I'll be giving the car a quick detail next week so should be a perfect opportunity to try them out.

Got a question or 2 but I'll wait till everyone has theres first.

 

[Jay.S]

Sounds like a good box.

I thought the swisswax fabric cleaner was the star of the last box it worked a treat on my dirty van seat.

I haven't tried the Swisswas fabric cleaner on anything yet, I was going to give my other halfs 15 year old pug 306 seats a go with it.

​How did you use that out of interest? Rub with a stiff brush then a MF?

 

[Jay.S]

As it says on the bottle pretty much.

I didn't have a proper soft brush so I used a cheap tooth brush to work it in and wipe over with a MF. I only used a tooth brush though as its a works van, if it was my own vehicle I would of got a proper brush. Don't shake the bottle as its per mixed with sparking water which helps bring the dirt up.

Really good stuff I had previously tried a few things to get the stains off the seat.

 

[Jack-C]

As above swissvax fabric really impressed me. I used it to remove a couple of marks in my headlining and it did the job with ease yet still felt like a gentle product.

The shampoo was lovely to use but the sealant although a joy to use had terrible water behaviour.

I'm yet to use the other bits from last months.

This months box is really good. The wax smells lovely and feels very oily.

I also ordered a full bottle of britemax cleanmax for £11 including delivery. A very good shampoo which is nice to use and smells of blueberrys. Fast delivery too

 

[MatthewR]

I personally really liked the tyre dressing. I fully decreased the tyre using warm soapy water and a nail brush then wiped down with IPA. It left a perfect sheen to the tyre however only lasted a week.

The durability doesn't bother me much anyway as I tend to clean the car weekly and apply new tyre dressing then so as long as it lasts the week I'm happy.

The shampoo was brilliant too and IMO would be well worth the money for a full bottle if I didn't have so much shampoo lying around a
already!

Not really had chance to try anything else out however ill be using products from the last 4 months on the big detail this weekend when I write the for sale add for my car!

 

[Jay.S]

Missus just said mine has arrived might have a go with a few of the products tonight if I get time.

 

[Crybert]

Got mine today. Really impressed! It's very well presented too. Ill await more folk getting there's to speak about the products

 

[Coby.]

Gonna slap on the tyre dressing from last months box when I next clean the car... Seems to have gone down reasonably well with what I've read.

 

[JD]

Tried it last night, Andy. Painted it on to ensure a decent coverage. Not bad, be interested to see how long it lasts.

 

[Coby.]

I want to discuss the new bits god dammit, Better wait until tomorrow though

Waiting for panel temps to cool before washing the car, Wheels are clean now but won't dress the tyres until I've washed and dried the whole car.

To use Hubikote or Lather... Hmmmmmm!

 

[Adamm.]

Same lol .

Hoping it cools down sun-mon as I'll be polishing the car which will give a perfect opportunity to try some of the product properly.

 

[JD]

Use the Hubikote and let me know your thoughts, Andy.

 

[Coby.]

Use the Hubikote and let me know your thoughts, Andy.

Used it on the fathers car already but that is one uncared for vehicle so not a fair test I suppose but it still felt quite nice.

Will give it a go on mine and maybe try out some other waxybox bits whilst I'm at it, I have TC on my car but no wax so not sure what to do, Half a car with the 2 samples to see how they fair up against each other?

 

[Yellow Dave]

Hubikote shampoo worked well with the hard water and rinsed clean. Most shampoos fall down with the hard water for me, even BTBM needed a heavy dose before I was happy with it so made it uneconomic.

Swissvax fabric cleaner will be getting a trial this weekend

 

[Coby.]

I genuinely think I might buy a bottle of Hubikote when I run out of Lather Really is a lovely feeling shampoo, Feels so slick and the bubbles feel so creamy.

 

[Jaff.]

Is this hubikote stuff free of gloss enhancers?

Spoiler

also the glass cleaner in this months box... Is it for cleaning interior glass? Or is it a prep for something like g1 etc,?

 

[Coby.]

Wheels cleaned and tyres dressed courtesy of the last 2 Waxybox's.

Before

After washing

Very impressed with the wheel cleaner, I didn't use very much and it still did a pretty good job.

Would I buy more? That I'm not sure about.

All finished

Loved the Tyre dressing, Really easy to apply as nice and runny compared to the Megs tyre dressing I have been using.

Just have to see how it holds up, If well it could be a contender when I next need some tyre dressing.

 

[Inequality Street]

Always worried about runny tyre dressing in case it slings off and goes on the paint whilst driving

 

[Crybert]

Impressed with the Waxybox this month. It's the first time I've ever got it so thought it was really well presented and a good amount of items.

with regards the contents again I'm impressed. The quick detailer is really good as is the gtechniq. Not really too sure what the point in the blind test wheel cleaner is? May aswell just use soap IMO.

the apc is self explanatory and I've not tried the other stuff. The air freshener is ok and the microfibre is a beast!

 

[TTrev]

off the back of this months gave the car a once over ... loved the sonax even over C2V3 durability seens fine from reading around and have ordered 5l (^^ each to their own) and also loved the gtechnic window so ordered some of that ...just!

nice air freshener too ...!

 

[scott.p]

I really like the airfreshner this month too.
Not tried the sonax but thought the glass cleaner was good.
