What products do you use? Always interested in what others are using even though I have my favorites.

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:
 
yeah say superior but have you used collinite its an old school wax can be used on boats,cars planes,funiture etc. its got a picture of a rolls Royce on front says it all really...try it even says on tin you only use it 2 or 4 times per year its so good. Im lazy for detailing this stuff keeps my car show room at less effort tried most stuff out there someone mentioned this to me on a forum many years ago and i still use it after trying many others. Its clear too so if lazy like me doesn't matter when your getting it on the black rubber parts.

I have buddy. I use it on my boat, and it's great for that. But 476 is also known for dulling finish (loads of threads on DW about it, have a search :thumbsup: ). Completely hear what you're saying about longevity. At the very least I'd suggest the 845 Insulator - easier to apply, better looks, similar if not the same longevity :thumbsup:

But come on, any company can put a picture of a car brand on their product :rofl: :poke:

yeah of course.....

ive only used it on silver cars i must add

That's fair :thumbsup: Silver can be difficult to show differences on. Metallic or flat?
 
I've now got my first non silver bmw I managed to buy a grey one this time 5 silver and 1 grey any recommendations for grey metallic paint
 
Collinite is so old hat and outdated now, theres plenty of waxes that are sub £20 and offer superior looks and just as good longevity :D
 
Utterly perfect, I can't imagine how long that took.

The bar is raised and set!!

Seeing those pics after I just came in after day 2 of the clean/detailing was a little disheartening though :D Just so you know :thumbsup:

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.
