Lots of my mates use collinite it's a very good product but I think Killerwaxx has the edge I want gives that deep wet shine to the paintwork. And the big plus is it is easy to apply and buff off. Win win for me :D :D :D

Looks great but some far superior waxes out there, even for the price!

Out of interest, did you polish after using the decontamination cloth, as they can marr really badly :cry:

Clay cloth used then polished. Never had an issue with marring when I have used in the past and I am quite OCD with checking the car. Still a work in progress to be fair I think another round with the DA on some areas will give me the result I'm looking for.
As a note my cloth was supplied by the clay cloth company great bunch of chaps and very knowledgeable.

That's good to hear, as I know they've got better and are continually bringing out updated versions. I think a lot of the marring the industry saw in the first few months after release was people uncertain on how to use them (myself included).

Have you done any tests to see whether claying the traditional way has any effect after using the clay cloth, or vice versa?

I have tried the traditional clay bar and clay lube after using my clay cloth, and there was no contaminants on the bar whatsoever so for me in 95% of cases the clay cloth wins hands down. The big USP is that it can be reused over and over and it's time saving and cost effecient. No additional money to spend on "detail spray" or clay bar lube just use normal car shampoo. If you have never used one its a must have item.

That's the thing, I've poo-poo'd them as being a major cause of marring so have stuck to traditional clay bars. The BiltHamber autoclay can be used with just soapy water, so again, has the benefit of not needing extra lube/QD to be purchased.

Perhaps I'll give them another try on the new/old Golf!
