What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Gally]

Might be a silly question, but after using AF Triple, Rejuvenate then Soul Wax, would you then use Tough coat on top of the wax? Or does this affect the way the wax works?

You used Tripple before rejuvenate mate?

Ah cracking. Cheers for that
Z2 sounds good, Do you apply it by hand, or can you do it by machine?
Z3 sounds similar with "a custom blend of emulsifiers" on top, what's the differences, is one better than the other

Yea Christopher I saw your media thread with the Z8, already decided on getting some of that.
My list is growing again grr!

Z2 is the one you want Z3 is for cars with no clearcoat. Older finishes mostly. Z5 is good on dark colours but very similar to Z2 tbf.

 

[Y7 ADW]

Sorry my bad, I meant to put Rejuvenate then Tripple. Once Soul is applied, is it okay to apply Tough Coat?

I wouldn't recommend it but you can give it a go, tough coat does.contain a little carnuba I believe so may work. It is always best to use a sealant then top with a wax if you want to use both, but most will use one or the other. AF waxes sit well and look good over tough coat. The problems come with the sealant not bonding very well to waxes, but waxes aren't to bad at bonding to a sealant, albeit not quite as well as o.to bare cleansed paint

Using tripple and rejuvenate is a little unnecessary unless the paint is in need if a good clean up

Cheers mate. I only gave it a go on the bonnet last night, seemed to come up very well. I will use Tough coat underneath the wax for the rest of the car when i get some time to do it. All in all, I'm very impressed with AF so far.

 

[James28]

Can you use glazes on top of waxes?
Like say you glazed then waxed, then washed it a few weeks later, could you top up the glaze again, or would you have to strip everything off?

 

[Yellow Dave]

You can if you want, but it's not likely to bond to a wax very well I would of thought, and depending on the product used, it may also clean or strip whatever you put it over. but then if you don't seal in your glaze what's going to stop it from being washed away.

It's always best to start from the beginning, clean, glaze, seal. Done

 

[James28]

Also in need of a new Shampoo?
I've got Megs Gold Class and Dodo Juice BTBM, but both running low..

 

[Eddie.]

I want a good QD, something I can use to just wipe the car down after work, only light dust/road film, wouldn't be doing it after a weeks worth of rain.

What do people recommend?

 

[aucky]

I love Britemax #6 Spray & Shine as a general QD.

Good old Megs Last Touch is what i use

 

[Eddie.]

Zaino Z6 any good? Or are the two above suggestions better?

 

[Yellow Dave]

I love Britemax #6 Spray & Shine as a general QD.

highly agree with the above

 

[Christopher]

I need to add some Britemax to my kit. I've been usingLast Touch for years.

 

[aucky]

It's great stuff.
Dust, fingerprints, waterspots, unbuffed residue, drying aid... You name it.

 

[Gally]

#6 is a part protectant product though.

Z6 is still the best pure QD i've tried. LT I thought was a little cheap and didn't really add anything to the finish.

A lot of megs products are poor because of the chemical restrictions in America.

Yeah of course, quite minimal though really.

Think I'll have to gets some Z6 as wipe down for I between layers etc.

 

[The Russian.]

Just received my wolfs body wrap and Christ the bottle is small and didn't think it would be a thin liquid,

Just hope it goes a long way.

 

[Jon.G]

I love the smell of Z6, its awesome.

 

[GeorgeH]

Bought some sonus carnauba spritz, not bad so ive gone for werkstat carnauba glos to compare.

Also tempted to replace my AG HD with something else. But is it worth moving to carbon or af passion over the hd wax?

 

[Yellow Dave]

I think Passion would be my choice over carbon at the moment, but very close call

 

[GeorgeH]

I think Passion would be my choice over carbon at the moment, but very close call

Would you sell a full pot (used 3 coats) of ag hd for it?

 

[James28]

What shampoo are all you guys using? Need a new one.

[The Russian.]

A tricky one.

I know a fair bit but stuck on this....il be fully decontaminating my car ie;

Snowfoam, washing, drying, iron-x, tarred and clayed then repeating 12&3 again, machine Polishing using a combination of products to remove swirling, blemishes & RDS, then I'm going to use wolfs shine and seal which can remove light swirls etc etc but does leave some protection, but here's were I'm ( stuck scratching my head in what to follows up with) do I use a glaze before I use wolfs body wrap?? Followed by a wax then qd or do I skip the glaze.

Any suggestion??

 

[Yellow Dave]

AFAIK body wraps is best used on bare clean paint with no other products on it. Flooring used it quite a bit I think

Skip the glaze, it needs to bond to the paint and the glaze will impede the bonding.

No need for wax after either as its rather pointless, as for QD id recommend wolfs nano QD as it helps keep the sealant strongest and keeps gloss up.

Ive put 3 layers on my silver dynamique now and the clarity is amazing.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Not really worth selling as youre not likely to get much for it, keep it for wheels, door shuts or a long durable winter wax. But I'd definitely rather have passion

 

[James28]

Zaino Z2 is okay to use after glaze yes?

 

[Gally]

Perfect mate. Z2 and Amigo is probably my most used combo.

I need more Z2!

 

[MatthewR]

I sometimes wish i went down the Amigo Z2/6/8 route instead of Body wrap now. Ahh well, ill give it a few months and probably strip it all back.

Is machine polishing the only way to get rid of nano sealants?

 

[Christopher]

Yup. Z2 and Amigo work great.

Top it off with a nice wax. Looooovely.

 

[James28]

I've got Britemax Blackmax as a glaze, got it before everyone started raving about Amigo!
Then Zaino Z2 will be going on top of that.

Doing my cousin's type R saturday, full decon and polish/glaze/seal, looking forward to it. First time I really be able to put my DA into proper use.
Just hope its not too hot!

 

[James28]

Well Im meant to be getting Z2 in time for the weekend, but CYC seem to be still "processing" it let alone dispatched it!

 

[Yellow Dave]

Did you pay for next day delivery? I did this with cyc and it took them a few days before it was actually processed

 

[aucky]

Lol. Next day delivery, 1 week later.

 

[James28]

Don't think Z2 is going to come in time . Gutted.
I'll have to use my AG HD wax instead.

 

[Chapppers11]

CYC are normally good for me.

 

[Gally]

Oh I seem to know the right people. I have a full pot of this on the way to me to try out

 

[JD]

LT I thought was a little cheap and didn't really add anything to the finish.

Agreed but I don't usually want anything from a QD apart from something that lubricates dust/oils/fingerprints off the surface.

not bad so ive gone for werkstat carnauba glos to compare

A poor product at best. Stick with the Sonus.

Is machine polishing the only way to get rid of nano sealants?

I've found they can be depleted by a strong APC ratio in snow foam. Worth a try, say G101 4:1 or 2:1.

Oh I seem to know the right people. I have a full pot of this on the way to me to try out

I've heard you're bringing it to MK in the Summer?

 

[Gally]

For you darling of course! I'm still waiting on that SV brush since CSS last year ffs!
