    little advice needed on detailing products,please!

    Sealants should really go underneath a wax.

     

    As in the Blackfire range the all paint protection is designed to be the first coat then topped off with the wax.

     

    If you think about it, wax needs to breathe, a good quality wax is made up of natural substances so degrade over time, if you seal a wax in with a sealant which will stop it from breathing then you will not get the desired effect.

     

    A sealant will do x2 things for you it will offer a shiny surface (Much like a glaze might do) and it will offer some very good protection (Often better than wax) but it's 99% of the time synthetic so when applied will cover than car in a non penetrable layer.

     

    Wax however is slightly different, generally made up of natural products the wax is designed to feed the paint giving it gloss, wet look and depth sometimes what a sealant can't do. But it breathes and a good wax will sweat also. Topping off regularly with a QD will keep a good wax layer going for sometime.

     

    Glazes offer no preotection but offer oils to a paint which can give it a wet look. To be used aftre a polish and before a sealant or wax 9Or both).

     

    If your a regular car user than a suggestion of a sealant every 2-3months topped off with a wax every 4-6 weeks.

     

    If your a regular car polisher and low mileage car driver, try a glaze a regular waxing - say every 2-3weeks. The car will look like it's soaking wet :teeth:

     

    Hope this helps guys :teeth:

     

    Or ignore me and do what you think suits your car and routine best ;)

    chemical guys or PB for wheel sealant (pretty much the same product), or if your flush go for Swissvax Autobahn wheel wax awesome product (Small pot though for the money).

     

    Einszett anti insect for the bugs (best around)

     

    Jeff werkstatt acrylic jet BEFORE the wax then wax 24hrs after jet. Could try Jetseal too.

     

    I have some acrylic if you want to test it :teeth: (What don't I have :teeth: )

    Holidays !!!!!!!

    Just got back this morning......... :teeth::teeth::teeth:

     

    I'm knackerd..

     

    Very expensive, but to be fair the prices haven't changed for the last 3 years!! so their aware of the credit crunch.

     

    San Antonio and the clubs was busier than I have seen it over the last few years.

     

    Our itinery..

     

    Wedensday -- VIP table at Cafe Mambo's to watch the sunset - sat in front of DJ's box to watch Erik Morillo do an awesome 1 hour set :teeth:

     

    Thursday - VIP table at Cafe Mambo's then onto Pacha for F*** me I'm Famous

     

    Friday - VIP table at Cafe Mambo's again with a fantastic set by Sander kleinenburg (Spell?) then onto a VIP table at Pacha for Pure Pacha. Table was on a balcony which overlooked the dance floor - special guest was Calvin Harris and Sander kleinenburg (Spell?) for an awesome set

     

    Saturday - VIP table at Mambo's again this time to see a set by Bob Sinclar. Now it's hard to get a table in the VIP area as it is but we we're quite privaliged to get one here tonight. There's only half a dozen tables in the VIP bit, we were the only english the others were millionares from all around the world :teeth::teeth::teeth:

    Then onto Space for Hed Kandi - best club and music so far for me :teeth::teeth:

     

    Sunday - Onto Space - for We love Space

     

    Monday - Last full night - chilled out a bit but still didn't get back until 6am :scare:

     

    All in all another awesome week in Ibiza - doing it the proper way. Spoke to various workers out their and they were gobsmacked in what we achieve every year when we go out. Not many people do 4 clubs on the bounce in 7 days :scare:

     

    All in all the 5 of us spent £1500 each in 1 week :scare::scare:

     

    Looking at booking now for next year already and getting the irons in the fire for more VIP tables :teeth:
