  1. Try with car shampoo first mate and a non scratch wheel brush, like a daytona or a wheel woolie. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend a dilute APC next.
  2. No worries mate. And ilogikal1- most of the products' claims are BS I think You probably saw some of the mega wax tests on DW and many of them last weeks, not months. But, if you're a deet-geek then that's ok as you'll be detailing frequently
  3. There is loads of product that now doesn't leave my collection that you need in your life mate. Some key highlights being Finishkare 1000p - so easy to use, good looks, lasts ages and can be used in paint, wheels etc Their QD fk425 is also my standard use product. Zaino Z8 is amazing too. Kinda like c2v3 but way glossier
  4. So I have c2v3 and find its longevity to be average at best, despite IPA wipedowns, paint cleanser wipe downs etc. I kinda figured that, being so cheap, it was essentially an alternative to a QD with enhanced protection, akin to dodo red mist etc, rather than a hardcore protection option. If you prepped the zed, applied exo or crystal lacquer etc, I'd expect super longevity. I'd then use c2v3 to top it up after maintenance washing
  5. Found the Piaa stuff to be a bit poor, unlike the wipers. Got their glass cleaner too which is worse, really smears Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  6. That is dedication to the cause mate. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  7. Will do updates as I go mate but the easiest glass sealant I've used. Carlack, rain x, Piaa and Halford stuff I've used previously has been a right Pita compared to this Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  8. Do we call mark for an abbey job on this? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  9. Will report back Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  10. £20 for 100 ml. Used like 4 squirts for the windscreen too, so will last ages.
  11. Right, so I applied Autobrite hellshine ghost rider yesterday and am very impressed. Applied after cleaning the glass with pain. Two layers, after ten minutes it hazed up a treat. Was worried as if this was rain x or g1 it would be a beast to remove. Looked thick Tbh. Anyway, with trepidation I began buffing it off... And found buffing wasn't necessary! In fact, took 2 mins to remove if that. Water won't stick to the glass at all and is tightly beading. 25mph is enough to start clearing it off too. Will try to take pics but very impressed. Longevity needs testing but, Tbh, if it lasts weeks rather than months I don't care. So easy to use and repels water amazingly Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  12. Taken from the Gyeon blurb for Cure; Which seems to suggest that it can be used as a stand alone product. However, I've not used it yet either, and probably wont do until after winter at the earliest but I might do a test/comparison against some other sealants in the spring. Or I might just add it to the collection and forget all about it. Ironically I have artdeshine nano to apply but want to correct her fully before applying glass coatings. Weather may not support it til next year now. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  13. Stock piling is the way to go. Much to the annoyance of the mrs that says theyre a waste of money and are taking up too much space I trust you have now reeducated her? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  14. Haven't used that yet as it suggested it maintained SiO2 coatings, which mine isn't wearing....
  15. Ok, so one of the products is 'custom' and I've now ordered some of my own with a zed / forum theme. Watch this space
  16. He will replace it too. Used the interior stuff today and the shampoo and both were good Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  17. OK, new WB arrived and I think pretty awesome themed box. Keep an eye out tho' as apparently one of the bonus products has leaked in some. Fingers crossed this won't affect any of our subscribers on 350z-uk
  18. 1: Steel Lynx (December, at Abbey) 2: Squee (TDi North, Whenever but need a weeks notice) 3: Sharpen (tdi north) 4: Busa1300 (tdi north) 5: Dragon (tdi) 6: Martek ( tdi north, when exhaust and hfc's have been fitted, just waiting date conformation ) 7: Stevod (abbey on a saturday ) 8: downhuman (abbey)
  19. On an HR car with Milltek and Takeda intake, it it 'worth' upreving?
  20. Blackfire midnight sun is good too Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  21. My list would be : 1) Car bodywork shampoo - duragloss 901 2) Polish - by hand I'd recommend Autobrite Hellshine Eliminator which is brilliant 3) Paintwork sealer - I'd always recommend Zaino z5. 4) Wax - would not use with zaino as unnecessary but on its own either dodo juice supernatural hybrid or britemax vantage if you want pure wax 5) Wheel cleaner (really mild) - sonax extreme total effect. You will never find a better or safer wheel cleaner 6) Tyre dressing - Meg's endurance gel if shiny, dodo tyromania if matte 7) Leather cleaner/conditioner - zaino leather cleaner and feed 8) Car mat shampoo - recommend autosmart bio brisk foam cleaner 9) Glass cleaner - autobrite hellshine pain 10) Engine bay dresser - autobrite Jaffa which is combined cleaner and dressing 11) Paintwork tar/ contaminant remover - autosmart tardis
  22. Discount code too Ilovewaxamomo

  24. The wolf's stuff before it sells out is very good. I'd skip the mask, however Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
