Wash, dry, then use z8 on a mf pad, spread it panel by panel, leave it on for a minute or so then buff off.
Once a month should be fine, can't see it
Layton much longer. Personally I don't see they hype with it.

Come do mine?x
Just ordered Z6 from the Jew so hopefully itll be here within a week or two.
Was gunna have gallys but couldnt make my mind up. Will be ideal when ive just washed the car and it spits or rains a little after - as it often does (did today). So ill be able to spray it over and wipe it clean.
it doesnt add anything does it, nuba or sealant? ive not used it for years!

Two totally different things in some ways mate!
Z8 if you want to top your protection up after every wash or two, z6 if you just want to aid drying or remove dust. No one likes dust.
I prefer to let the wax or sealant do the work rather than protecting it further.
Z8 is absolutely stunning though.

Tripple leaves some nice protection behind, you'd be surprised!

I've already emailed Shinearama and Foxx is fine with swapping it, top blokes up there.
Will probably just wait til the next CS meet and head up with it then!

£20 is very cheap isn't it?! Think I paid more towards £40 from Shinearama.

I got it through eBay at £20, or thereabouts. It was from somebody with a spare (still in blister packaging). Obviously if it does break then I have no warranty as such, so going off what has been said about their reliability it might be worth paying a bit more to get some kind of guarantee.

Never rated Brinkman, had one, chucked it in the bin many moons ago. Homemade sun gun is FAR superior. ive got a homemade and a real 3m gun and couldnt do without them.I noticed someone was selling home made ones on the bay!
Other alternatives you may want to look into are Metal Halide spotlights. E
Either traditional metal halides like this http://www.scldirect.co.uk/metal-halide-floodlights/metal-halide-floodlights-1.html
or projectors like this http://www.scldirect.co.uk/metal-halide-floodlights/metal-halide-display-lighting.html
For those that dont know, metal halides are basically HID's, high white output with lower power consumption over halogens.
Im currently experimenting with the projector ones as they are more of a directed beam as apposed to to just a random spread of light from the ones im using now.

The sun guns show up alot, about as best you can get. Generally sun gun/metal halides for swirls and Hallogens for holograms (buffer trails etc)

Bought some Wolf's White Satin Shampoo with free postage from PB
Seemed quite good value and I'd run out of BTBM

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_844119_langId_-1_categoryId_165527
Reckon its any good/worth getting?
Going to get some Z8, but need some polish and wax aswell otherwise I will be spending loads on Z8 where I use it so quickly! I also need shampoo as i currently use fairy liquid.
Cheers - Jordi

stick with the SRP or tripple rather than the that listed. never used the wax
the britemax bits are supposed to offer good protection, will be much easier to use and remove and leave a better finish than the 476, not sure if durability will be quite as long, but as said is so simple to apply and remove it will take minutes over 476.
i4detailing.co.uk are a trader on here and offer discount to members and stock the full britemax range. 7MAT had a thread up a few years back with his trophy using extreme elements sealant topped with the max shine.
