Didn't think you could really use a wet vac on alcantara?

Cheers, both the same aren't they?
Haha, there's nothing pretty about green!
Also, saves £3.50 to be spent on a bag of Minstrels or something

Don't apply it over tripple, they don't work that well together. Finish isnt as sharp and durability is affected
F**k me, put the foot in already lol. Is the Autoglym Super resin polish any better with the 476?
Golf GT & A4 Avant
It's better, but better over a bare clran surface
You can use it with tripple but you wont get the full 6 months durability, as it reacts with the wax in tripple, with 476s being a hybrid

Stocking up well for the summer!
AF imperial
AF Tough coat
AF Total
AF Clay
AF Iron out (usually use iron x but with 3 for 2 on AF at PB it's a decent saving!)
AF Revitalise Kit (expensive but seems to have most of what i was looking to buy in one kit )
Meguiar's wash mitt
Raceglaze brush set
Meguiar's applicator pads x 2
10 microfibre's
2 of the PB wash buckets (wanted the grit guard one's but the description and price led me to purchase these instead)
I picked a few other bits up at Autosport in Jan that I'm yet to try, Including some AF desire wax, Also have a tiny pot of "CAR SPUNK" that a mate picked up for me at Top gear so might give that a go.
Hopefully next weekend is this sunny!

I love the mercury & the smell is awesome as is most of the AF range!
Not to annoy you but with the 241 offer you can get the revitalise kit for £63 just without the box and pad prime. May be worth cancelling the order and re ordering?
Nice haul though!
Why didn't I think of that!
Iv'e always been partial to a bit of box though
I have to agree with that, feels more special!
Also, there's a few bits you can't get separately isn't there?
Only the pad prime.
Golf GT & A4 Avant
only bits would be the box, pad prime, tape, couple of microfibres and spurring brush.
ordering all the pads and polishes separately ypu can get them for 52 if added in the right order. it doesnt just take the cheapest items off automatically

The af polishes could be cack, I for one am going to wait a bit longer till I see some people using and reviewing it
The likes of menzerna, meguiars and 3m have been around for years. I'd like to see how af have approached this market

My thoughts exactly, it may take a while for an unbiased view on them to surface though.
I do hope they are up to usual AF quality.
Yeah I was thinking the same tbh. I've become a big fan of AutoFinesse but polishes are a funny market and it's only their first foray into it. I've no doubt they'll be very good and I'm confident they would have waited until they were right before releasing, but a lot of people have spent a lot of money in the last few days on them.
Brilliant marketing to be fair. Witnessed previously through Dodo Juice and GTechniq, AutoFinesse seem to have gone one step further.

Definitely.
buying polishes and pads etc. is quite daunting in the beginning, no other manufacturer (that I can think of) has put everything you need in one box with instructions!
Golf GT & A4 Avant
Working on spot pads when I asked James. Have ordered pads as I preferred the flat pad to the hex in the end. Can see the polishes either working well with the kit or not at all.
Im sure give it a few months and the for sale section will start to be filled with people getting carried away with the 3for2 . Its what I'm waiting for anyway
