It works well on AudiSport, but would need mod input to clear 2+ week old posts.

 

[Junior Bear]

I doubt there would be too many of us to warrant a section or a dedicated thread tbh.

Detailing chat thread is enough I think

Just took a trip to Elite Car Care, got myself a snow foam lance+ snow foam, 2 lambswool mitts, 2 large microfibre drying towels, 2 buckets with grit guards, collinite 476 wax witt applicators and few micro fibre cloths. They also threw in some pads for my DA FOC

Also got some dodo lube and megs clay coming and my PD8 and DAS 6 pro came yesterday!

Just a quick question, Elite said the 476 wax is put on by hand, is this right or would my DA work better?

 

[Yellow Dave]

by hand with a foam applicator, just keep the layers as thin as possible as it's a pain in the @ss to remove

Concrete stuff

Sooo good for winter protection though

 

[Ben]

A bottle of Auto Finesse Spritz interior detailer.

Fk1000p looks better, is easier to apply/remove and is cheaper by memory (for the oz). Oh and it's heat and fairly chemical resistant so useful on metal and wheels. Why anyone uses 476 anymore is beyond me!

I am completely new to waxing/ detailing my car, someone recommended 476 to my brother on DW as we wanted a good winter wax. Is 476 really that bad?

Because it takes forever to go through a whole tub lol

Same is true for FK, and 915

 

[Scrooge]

Yep I have Fk as well. I should really be using old stuff up first so for now the collinite will carry on until gone, I still quite like it.

 

[aucky]

Just ordered G-techniq G5, I1 500ml

Received today, not bad CYC.

 

[Scrooge]

I need to reapply my g5. After 6 months its doing next to f**k all. Good going tbh.

No. There are just better examples of Winter waxes out there.

Got my G5 to last nearly a year last year, god knows how...

 

[Scrooge]

My idiot painter got overspray on my windows I had to clay them etc and it ruined them

 

[Hixle]

I have some spare G1 if you need it Ant? Will bring it on the 15th if you want.

 

[Feirny]

Just been playing with Tripple then Toughcoat. Really like the combination, but not the cold weather.

It's all good thanks mate, I have plenty G5 and G1

Grab any pictures?

 

[Feirny]

Grab any pictures?

It's too dark

I'll try and get some tomorrow.

 

[Hixle]

I might order some Tough Coat, as I was so impressed with Tripple.

Possible daft question, is there any point in using a hard wax over a sealant?

Look forward to it mate, Reds always look awesome with that combo!

No point as such. They're just different.

Tough coat is probably the easiest lsp in the world to apply and looks awesome though.

 

[Hixle]

Ok, tough coat it is.

hard or soft waxes doesnt really make much odds. ive used hard waxes over toughcoat, it does marginally increase durability, gives a nice mix of gloss and flake, water behaviour i found to hold up longer and contaminants dont bond anywhere near as well.

toughcoat is so simple to use no reason why you couldnt just keep adding coats, although it does leave a nice slick finish to wax over

 

[Hixle]

Cheers Dave, makes sense. I was more interested in terms of looks rather than durability tbh. Will have a look around.

 

[Yellow Dave]

stick with toughcoat then, gives a great mix of finish between wax and sealants, gets glossier the layers you put on

 

[James28]

Just done a quick winter protection. Can't be bothered to machine it so Detarred, DeIroned, Clayed, Sealed with Z2. At least it'll have some protection now!

 

[Scrooge]

Finally ordered a paint depth gauge

 

[MatthewR]

Some items up for sale, ill also take swaps for other detailing gear!
