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.


Definitely going to get some aquawax after reading this. I have a plenty AG products but not this. Are you supposed to use the super resin polish with this too?

Get some pictures up when it actually stops raining 😤

SRP is used as a top up as and when the life shine runs out.

 

Aquawax will keep the car shiny with a monthly or when you can be bothered top up of Autoglym HD.

Problem with SRP is that it has a cutting / polishing agent in it which takes off what Lifeshine you would have on in addition to the fillers! Hence why it is so chalky. AG Aquawax is a good product, bets buying by the gallon though! Alternatives are Duragloss Aqua wax which gives better shine but doesn't last as long or Chemical Guys P40 detailer with Carnuba.

I know, thats why i said as a top up. :P

 

Wish i'd known that though a couple of months after i'd had the car when i used it thinking i was just "topping up"   :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

 

Read it on detailing world AFTER i'd already put two coats on…..  :blink:  :blink:

 

I'm going top try some of the many glazes i have stored in the shed on the RS3 over the weekend.  B)
