Chrome, what are the wheels on ure car matey

 

As long as you use cold clean water and no soap/shampoo it'll last. The dirt/dust can actually be rinsed off with a garden hose if you have half decent pressure.
I used to use the gold class, but nxt is far easier to apply and buff

 

tech wax is BETTER than GOld class imo.
hth

 

kilo- just the OZ Racing P1 17's..
My car looked almost just like 16vMarc mon page 1 before the wheels were refurbished.!

 

aah no wonder they look different. They look darker and also the white writing on the outer rim looks cool

 

thanks man.
It was a big gamble, but gladly it worked out ok.

 

Great Pic... so good it almost looks like a photochop... can't tell what colour your car is

 

Another vote for Maguires NXT altho it doesn't show up so well with CG..!

 

Hey, are you using the NXT paste wax or the NXT liquid wax to get these results?

Definately going to try some once I know which to go for.......

 

I'm using liquid.

 

ive just bought some and tried it, it is very easy to apply and looks lovely.

ive tried auto glym.......colour magic.........mer........zymol and nxt seems the easiest work with
altho mer is good when you put it in water and rinse the car then buff it off when dry

zymol looks good also and smells so sweet
autoglym is hard work but do recommend autoglym top gloss (gold colour) and colour magic is average

i use those micro fibre cloths, get them from poundland.......guess how much quality cloths

 

@ G00nerAwesome pic mate - well done!

I polished the golf today couldnt be fussed with Autoglyn and i full bufty job so i tried it with Colour Magic black, came up a treat

 

how are you finding the tec wax, I did mine a week ago and now it's lost its shine, I will be ordering some more swissol

 

yup as you say...
washed it with swissol car bath, and most of the shine (mainly under the impact strips on the lower half of the car) has gone.


re NXT'd it, then gave it a coat of swissol shield over the top

 

I use the 3 stage paintment treatment stuff. Its a bit of elbow grease to do but I love the result.



Sorry its not a scoob!

 

tried sum tech wax on mine today as a test, mine was done with gold class last week

it does seam to cover the slight swirls and stuff better, and a few people did say the red back end looked deeper and more shiney.

defo looks "diffrent" from the gold class i normally use, seams to look "newer"

 

used some Tech Wax on My scoob today..its black and I was really impressed.

We'll see how long itlasts.

I found the cheap blue Zymol....pretty good on My red teg. LAsted a couple of weeks at least in good weather.

Where do you get swissol from????

 

Swissol is available through scooby shop

 

Your post must have started a panic buy because ive been to 3 different Halfrauds and non of them had any, just empty shelves.

I could have bought Swissol with the money ive spent in petrol driving between stores !!!. Might just go back to fairy liquid and a brillo pad (no dirt left then)

some of you guys said techwax only lasts a week.
are you parking it in a garage?
mine is so do you think itll last a bit longer?

 

probably peter

 

Mine lasts a while, I use the NXT shampoo aswell and rinse off with cold water and then dry it with the Meguiars drying cloth which is MUCH better than a chammy leather. Heres mine after tech wax

 

I'm fed up of expensive wax only lasting a week... - I'm now going to test Tesco car wax @ £2.97 a bottle... - can't last shorter than a week surely?????

Bought an Auto Glym Valet pack a week or so ago, and some of the stuff in it is excellent, stuff I'd never have bought seperately.

The Intensive Tar Remover is great stuff, certainly got rid of a lot of hardened tiny specks of bird droppings that everything else has failed to shift (show up a lot on a DBM bonnet!) - also pretty impressed with the Super Resin Polish & Glass Polish. The shampoo is OK but not as good as Meguairs soft wash gel.

I'm not too impressed with my Meguiars drying towel. I had been using the 3 step system, the paint cleaner didn't seem to do a lot, the polish was OK but the wax was great, although is a bugger to get out of tiny gaps when dried.

The Meguairs clay bar is a bit of an Enigma - it doesn't seem to do anything at all and first impressions make you think you've wasted £11 - but run your hand over the area afterwards and it's VERY smooth and the clay bar looks dirty. The quik detailer that comes with it is superb - especially on interior trim.

I don't think you can stick with one manufacturers products - I'm selecting the best products from anywhere to put in my valet bag.

BTW - auto express ran a test of 50 waxes not so long ago - Turtle Wax won - how many people have mentioned that so far?

 

Swissol have won both the test I have seen this year ! IE Classic & Sports car & Max Power !

Two ends of the spectrum !

 

I quite fancy giving the Swissol Samurai wax a go this year but the price is off-putting - the whole Auto Glym Kit was cheaper (39.99) and I got 8 bottles of stuff in it and a very dapper red holdall to keep it in.

its all about quality & length of time it will last
Cost isnt always about initial outlay ! Value for money is the issue too !

People change from other products to Swissol but how otend do you hear people say "I used to usse Swissol but now I use ....."

 

Ive always used Auto Gylm in the past and cant fault it tbh, on every colour car i`ve had people comment on the shine and how clean they always looked
I was going to try the Meguiars out of interest but there wasnt any in our Halfords.

 

Meguiars for me as stated before.
With regards longevity of shine................ http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=432312
