^ Dodo Juice or wax? What anything from DJ do you mean or can you be more specific for the OP.

The different colour thing is said to be a bit of a gimic just so you know

The BEST stuff has a 4 figure price tag. Someone on here .. Russ(something? ZS/ST) had a pot of something hilarious worth £2k+.

Peruse the detailing section, see the previous 14,000 threads on a similar subject and take a wild stab in the dark on i4d or cyc

Carnuba or if you have a good right arm liquid diamond. I show cars and have used Carnuba for 12 years. Unbeatable !

The spelling of the wax must have changed recently as its now spelt Carnauba, 12 years ago it may have been Carnuba lol

I'm struggling to understand why you would need a strong right arm for a wax?

Have a look in the detailing section.

i'm guessing Homer V6 likes to pile it on nice and thick and leave it to cure for a couple of hours lol

I have just put a second coat of Gtec C2 on and its amazing. Nice deep shine and the beading is pretty good. Just need to see how long it lasts now. Took about 20mins to do the whole car once the paint was prepared. So much easier than wax or sealents.

Yes mate but you don't get that hands on like you do with wax. I like to enjoy detailing it's not laborious to me so I prefer to hand wax/seal my car.

 

[Gorms]

I know what you mean gally but i find with the C2 it just frees up a little more time, i managed to take a little more time with the clay and just making sure the paint was spotless before applying it. Where with the wax i knew it was going to take a long time so found myself rushing the cleaning process a little and was never 100% happy with the paint work. Might have more to do with the fact its white.

 

[Gally]

Indeed mate, it's so easy to use.

Waxing just makes the final finish all that better, nice warm summers night just finishing the car off and grabbing a few pictures. Win.

I still see Z2 as a wax application so it doesn't feel like a sealant. Spray LSP's take the fun out of it for me.

God knows what I'm going to do boys. No hose, no driveway to speak of...

 

[Gally]

Makes me sad.

The king of detailing... gone!

 

[JD]

Another one bites the dust, eh?

 

[Gally]

Nooooooooooooo!
