can you put G5 on top of G1?
The G1 works sooo much better on the civic than it did on the clio so I think the angle of the windscreen does play a huge part in it's performance. Starts to run off the civic at about 35-40mph.
Although it seems to have only lasted a week for me, now it doesn't run/bead unless I'm doing silly speeds. I can only assume thats due to the windscreen now being dirty (I've not washed the car since I put the G1 on). Maybe if I give it a wash it will start to perform well again.

I'd prefer to put it on a 'fresh base' so to speak.
If after you've washed it and it still doesn't run off as well, then I'd be pretty certain that it has been applied wrong.
See what happens though.

Wooly Mammoth Towel

Look at me getting proper stuff. Go me..
Will the standard sprayer on CYC screw onto the 1L Bilberry? as I intend to use it neat for the time being as my wheels are in dire need of attention.

I can't wait to give Amigo a blast this weekend.
Where would it slot into the detailing process best? I've never used it before.
The car will be Iron-X'd and DA'd first.

It fits in just before your wax/sealant 
OOOOoo, have you got a cleanser btw? It's going to work best if you cleanse the paint after the polishing stages.

After polishing, but before sealing/waxing.

AFAIK it isn't, that's is why I got myself both a cleanser (Acrylic Prime) and a glaze (Amigo)

Yeah, thought so. It's a cleaner with fillers IIRC.

It depends on the weather mate. I've got a few errands to run in the morning but I should hopefully get the chance in the afternoon or Sunday morning before I head to the BB's.

250ml bottles at a guess?
If you run out of either, even tripple which you'll use more of, just doing your own car then you're over applying. A single spray of tough coat onto an applicator is enough to do most panels bar the roof or bonnet
Golf GT & A4 Avant
as said, 2 sprays on the applicator to get it started, then 1 spray per panel like the wings or door, maybe a second if it starts to feel grabby, certainly haven't use anymore than 2 sprays per panel though.
tripple you will use more of as you work it a little more into the panel, a small blob on the applicator and see how far you can work it.
I think they are a good combo together, although the wax in the tripple will very slightly shorten the life of the tough coat, but not anything to really worry about as you should still see several months of good protection from the combo. but less of a problem when you see how easy it is to use and apply and how little you use per car.
