Wax for £40??

[Edward101]

Currently using Autoglyms Hd wax on my black gp. im reasonably happy with the results but i find that the wax has worked better on my dads silver car opposed to my black one. was wondering if anyone reccomends another wax? Collinite? Dodo juice blue velvet or purple haze? or another? dont really want to spend more than £40.

cheers Ed

My AutoGlym HD only cost £26 including delivery.. =/

It works pretty good on my black punto. How did you clean it?

 

[Edward101]

where did you buy it from?? i got mine from halfrauds haha.
firstly snow foam, then used dodo juice born to be mild shampoo then used the autoglym hd wax... it did come up fairly good.. but i found using autoglyms aqua wax pretty much as good as its so much cheaper. need to clay my car also, dont know if u can recomend me one?

I use Collinite 915. Looks great. Works best on darker colours IMO.

My method has been snow foam, wash, clay then wax. Re do the wax once every 3 months and clay about October and then in March/April after the winter road mess.

eBay is your friend!

Actually Halford's Clay Detailing kit wasn't too shabby when I used it last week.

Another vote for collinite 915 or Bilt hamber autobalm (it had to be said)

Collinite- for the money you really cant get better imo

915 better than 476s?

harley wax of e bay, its a finishing paste after you done all yer wasin and normal polishing. good stuff, no powder like some of the autoglym products, i think i paid about 25 for a small tub, i am reall a fussy sod too with detailling so it cant be too bad......

915 is generally better for darker cars...

cant beat that clay, just water required for lube

I used collinite 915 on my parents black jag and blue porsche, It looks really good, and got better after a few days. It does look better on the blue though... Ive heard its good on darker colours. Im about to use it on my red 500

I'e been considering that for mine matt, but was going to opt for DODO juice instead?

 

[punto_matt]

I much prefer the vics to the dodo. Will bring both along to stanford if you want?

that would be awesome if you could, DODO have a trade stand up and i was planning on getting some then... and one of their drying towels

 

[punto_matt]

I like there other products i just dont like the wax. Didnt seem to last very long when i used it so bought another pot of vics.

 

[Tris Harris]

i've just ordered some born to be mild shampoo... hoping its going to be good stuff

 

[punto_matt]

Yeah i like there shampoo, im just trying lots of different stuff atm

thats not from the waxs its from the prep would still look like that if your striped the wax of

 

[punto_matt]

I know but the wax keeps it looking like that for longer.
