Chris`I Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 no one use FK1000P? Also if red mist is a sealer than should you use it over wax? Wax is on top of sealent usuallty as wax needs to breathe. Red mist is a quick detailer It does blurr the lines a bit, but is more a DQ than a sealant, and is fine over wax. Quote

ChrisS Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks Jerry,I want one, it's on the Crimbo list . (might just get the credit card out and buy NOW) Quote
Stew Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I've said it before and I'll say it again, wax on it's own will make flip all difference to the shine in my opinion. It's only worth applying a good wax if you have prepared the car properly or it won't look any better. I think wax has a placebo effect on a lot of people - they see more shine because they want to!

ChrisS Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I agree Stew,but it's winter and all are cars look shiiiii sorry, dirty after being out on the road for ten mins. I recon it would be OK for 'quick washing' at this time of the year. It's also toooooo cold for me to be out waxing, and it won't stop raining here in N Wales. Quote

jerry3167 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 I bought my KARCHER last week from Tescos direct, got a cracking half price deal on one of their K series washers, highly reccomended £80 reduced from £160!! Will try out the snow foam soon, got a free 1 litre bottle of Elite Car care`s own snow foam formula too Quote
srobrien Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Christ that snow foams expensive i havent got a pressure washer either Its not really,a 5 litre bottle will last roughly 2 years. Emmmm, mine lasts about 4 months R Quote
clarkie34 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Jesus how much you putting in.I put about an inch in my foam bottle,dillute with warm water to top. This will last about 3 washes. Quote
ug45cwb Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I'm with clarkie on the snow foam, its very cheap per wash. Had mine 6 months and its been used regularly to clean my car, mates cars, family cars and mates girlfriends cars (one of them completely filled my foam lance bottle to the brim with it ) and I still have half a bottle. I would guess its lasted about 30 washes so far and it was £15 iirc. Quote

It's only worth applying a good wax if you have prepared the car properly or it won't look any better. I think wax has a placebo effect on a lot of people - they see more shine because they want to! Have to agree buddy. The single biggest difference I made to my car was machine polishing it to get rid of the swirls. I must say that of the different waxes I have tried, Dodo Juice Supernatural really did make the flakes pop a noticeable amount more. P21S (R222 or whatever) gives a nice wet look, but wears off really quickly, like less than a month. AG EGP is nice for protection but seems to dull the finish when layered. Preperation via polish and paint cleanser is key though Quote

I would recommend Valetpro. +1 on VALETPRO snow foam, I have 5 litres of this, its PH neutral too! Or Bilt Hamber`s auto foam is also my 2nd choice! Quote
