Getting low on car care stuff PMSL!!

[uk dave]

Took these for a thread on another forum but thought i`d post em here anyway(in case ya wondered what i`d tried previous though a few zymols/swissols and a couple of chemical guys products have been used up totally so dont feature here)
Theres some other stuff inc meguiars quick clay a few other bits different wheel cleaners and a 25ltr drum of TFR(it were cheap)that dont appear.

The 3 carrier bags in the first pic contain terry cloth applicators assorted sponge applicators and the last ones full (virtually) of microfibre cloths.





Used to use meguiars for a while bk in the day untill i came across poorboys stuff which made meguiars look hard work, though havent tried any meguiars paste waxes ever so dont know what theyre like these days.

Aim is to use these up before buying any more of the select few i`ve narrowed it down to these days. be about 5yrs before i buy any more collinite at this rate coz im about out lol.

Getting low on car care stuff

It looks like it Dave.

Seriously pete ive had more than that at times, been a few ive gave mates-just got bk from lee`s been doin his RS again with him with a bit of collinite 915 over the blackfire we did at wkend dont look bad.

[tom73]

stop showin pics like that lol

Looks brilliant.

Lee`s makes mine look average lol hard to believe its a 1985 car.

Depending on the weather tomorrow going over both mine and his with Pinnacle XMT180 it gives a flat natural depth to the finish as opposed to looking like a shine on top if ya get me-hard to describe really-best ways like this.

Collinite over blackfire (lots of shine)



Pinnacle xmt 180 more of a natural glow/depth (imo)



So its all down to the weather tomorrow as to "weather" theres an update

If ya wanna know why the blackfire/collinite then pinnacle-watch this space for results

Xmt 180 is a soft wax that in my opinion gives better results than P21S not sure on protection as never tested it however love the look it gives mine.

I`ll update soon folks

Well managed it even if weather werent great,ended up dropping wax off with lee as its bin a busy day hence no pics of his from me(He didnt want his electricity bill goin up for his camera so none from lee either-lee ya crap )

Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance Wax-£25 inc postage from http://www.shipshapenorfolkltd.co.uk/products.php?cat=5

Know for a fact it looks good on your colour as scott a mate used it on his UK300 though its pretty good on most colours-A tin should last the average person a couple of yr i`d have thought its a pretty hard wax.

If ya really dont want to spend that much nattys blue is a bargain for the money http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/w...blue/p_11.html However collinite gives a noticeably better finish.

I like the finish the xmt180 wax gives me but dont think protectionwise it`d be very good(hence when i use it its over collinite)

To be fair theres alot in the 20quid bracket that will give simular results but you will like collinite

Another thing you could try is buying sonus sfx2 and sfx3 Remember wax only amplifies the finish underneath so the better that is the better the later stages neithers harsh so you`d be fine working by hand use these a few times on your car then buy a quality wax.(depends if youre addicted yet)
