Hi ya

I was thinking of getting some myself as my Mer is almost finished.

How much is it, and do you get the cloths with it?
Also, is it any harder than 'normal' wax to apply?

Thanks,

 

[daryn]

emm, well it was priced 14.99 but i know the guy that owns the shop,
and he gave it to me for 12
yeah u get an applicator and a 'teatowel' sized cloth to wipe away the excess polish and to buff

emm well thats the first ive really used anything tbh so i wouldnt really know, but it was really really easy to put on, and it tells you to leave it for 4 mins, and then wipe off, and buff .. took me about 15-20 mins to do full car, but the rain interrupted that unfortunately, was only light rain tho lol

 

[Johnbee]

Thanks, its about the same price as MER, so I am going to give it a go.

I'll try it on the Panda first as Black always looks nice when polished - and she needs it.

Cheers

 

[daryn]

No bother,
it also means unlike every polish, u can go over the black rubbers and plastics etc without leaving those unsightly marks, yeah its well worth giving it a try

 

[Johnbee]

Double result. I have 4x4 type cladding on the Panda, so it will be nice n easy to wax it all in one go !

i thought it was gonna just be another one of those ones that u see advertised and it looks great, until u try it, and then it goes all pear shaped, but its lookin great so far

 

[Johnbee]

Panda-waxing day is is tomorrow then - providing the rain holds off !

 

[daryn]

Lmao well thats a diff story then isnt it
what is the 4x4 cladding ur talking about ?
how do i go about doing that ?
and is it expensive ?
cheers.

 

[Andy Monty]

what is the 4x4 cladding ur talking about ?

Im assuming its the black plastic trim to protect the bodywork

 

[Johnbee]

Im assuming its the black plastic trim to protect the bodywork

It sure is. Runs along the side of the car, normally a pain to wax car without getting it on the plastic.

Well, just waxed the Panda abd Pluriel. Goes in well and shine brilliantly with a deep lustre

First impressions . . . . well good

Mer, Turtle Wax .......

 

[punto_matt]

Its crap. Research and buy proper stuff that will mean you have to put more effort into cleaning and protecting but it will last a shed load longer than 2 weeks.

 

[Mark Elvin]

:yeahthat:

 

[La Rossa]

Could of brought AG or Meg's at that price

Turtle wax...don't rate them that much and at that price........listen to the pro's ne: above:worship:

 

[MattMk1]

I think I'll stick to my AG Super Resin Polish.

Gives a great shine, and makes the car feel so smooth to touch

 

[punto_matt]

You need a wax on top to protect it....
