Yes Chemical Guys P40 is fantastic, P_G did you order direct from Chemical Guys UK or another retailer?

Well your not the only one, I order off David proably twice a month and at times it can be painfully slow and unresponsive and I feel like i'm doing all the work aswell as paying lots of money. I'm looking into stocking the Gallon sizes of certain products soon so hopefully in future if you still want to use Chemical Guys I can take some of the pain away haha, I currently stock the retail size 473ml Chemical Guys Products and offer a 10% discount RS3OC www.shopnshine.co.uk

How does the Red mist compare to the Z8?

 

I have a bottle of it (never used) as i tested one panel and it smeared.

I'll let you know steve, not got it/used it yet. Probably give it a go this weekend.

P.S. you got tropical or just normal red mist ?
It will have to impress or im going back to Z6 then Z8 for finishing :)

Red Mist does smear, but if your quick and don' leave it on too long the results are brilliant. You need to work it in well...if thats the right word.

It makes the car shine up like you've spent a few hours waxing!

Well worth it for the washes between waxes, Plus its no harder than drying your car to use.

I'd be interested to know how it looked in comparison to HD.


How do you apply Aquawax? I have lots of the stuff but have yet to use it!

Its really simple,  

 

Wash the car as per your normal routine,  rinse off the car and whilst still wet spray on the Aquawax.

 

Dry the car with a drying towel.

 

Once dry buff off any remaining wax with a microfibre cloth.

 

The result is a freshly waxed look for not much more hassle than drying the car.   If you use it on a particular hot day or in direct sun ive found spraying it on one panel then drying that panel works best as it doesnt leave streaks that are hard to remove.

Easy peasy Ryes3, I use that stuff and is the most quick and effective way to bring the shine out in virtually no time.

Lads I have just noticed I have the "lifeshine" sticker in my car on the windscreen ,,, can someone tell me what it does and is it a "lifetime" thing  , or does it need topping up ??

Many thanks

Iirc it needs a maintenance detail or top up every 12months.
