Stutopia Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I'm just at the point of having not enough of this left in the bottle to do the whole car. Ordinarily I have a list of several products to try when one runs out, but I've not got anything on the list in this space I've been very happy with Lime Prime Lite, it leaves a nice clean surface shine for building up protection, but I'm always on the look out for something new to try and bolster the aresnal. Any suggestions before I re-order LPL? Ta. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Will you be topping it with a wax or a sealant? And are you after cleaning ability or a glaze, primarily? Quote
Stutopia Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Will you be topping it with a wax or a sealant? And are you after cleaning ability or a glaze, primarily? I've got Poorboys White Diamond as my current glaze, I was looking for something that cleans it all up real nice before pilling in with the shine/protection layers. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 For outright cleaner, Werkstat Prime (Acrylic for sealants or Carnauba for waxes) is hard to beat. Except for Prime Strong, which is better. None have any filling/correcting abilities though, whereas LPL contains fillers, but if you've got PB WD you can use that to fill or just straight to wax over any of them - it'll bond best to either Carnauba or a quick IPA wipedown before will give you a bare base again. Polymer sealants will go straight over either Acrylic or Strong. 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) I like the look of The Strong. The Carnauba v The Strong. Is the only difference that the carnauba leaves a surface especially well prepped for a wax layer? Or is their cleaning power noticeably different? Also I noticed the LPL is friendly to DA application, can the same be said of the Werkstat offerings? Edited May 31, 2014 by SuperStu Quote
ilogikal1 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Yes, Strong is the better cleaner of the two - Carnauba is a very good cleaner (I'd personally rate it over LPL for cleaning) but Strong is simply exceptional even compared to Carnauba. They can both be used by DA. Quote

Stutopia Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 Cracked the seal on this today. It's a tricky little customer at time. Once the sun hits a panel and gets some warmth in it all it wants to do is turn into a cakey powder, but the cool panels in the shade were really nice to work with. Looks sweet now it's all cleaned down. Just got to put all the protection back on again Quote
ilogikal1 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Oh yes, it's like Gizmo the mogwai; it doesn't like sunlight. Quote
