Whats the difference between the light and hard waxes??

[d6dph]

I guess you mean the hard and soft waxes?

Hard waxes are generally more durable and easier to lay a thin layer on.

[Rik178m]

yep sorry hard and soft.

Its all getting abit confusing!

[d6dph]

Only the tip of the iceberg dude!

I wish to return to the days of a dirty car and not caring

[1an]

hmm Dodo, cant recomend it enough.

[d6dph]

Have heard only good things about it tbh. Not used any yet.

[Rik178m]

I know you get what you pay for but its a tad expensive. was thinking poor boys nattys paste wax?

[Rik178m]

D6dph - Ive noticed you're abit of a detailing guru so what do you reckon to these?

Auto glym shampoo cos I've already got some.
Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay
Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze
Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax
Chemical Guys - Synthetic Quick Detailer
Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant
Autoglym super resin polish

Obviously not in that order

[1an]

honestly, Dodo isnt expensive, i personally would replace it with nattys wax thats for sure,

and bin the super resin polish lol. but other than that the other products you have mentioned are all good choices. from what ive heard. Dave has used a few of those and so have i

[Rik178m]

haha binned or my dad can use it for his model planes! So whats a good polish for silver?
Sorry you would choose Nattys over Dodo?

[1an]

no Dodo, i wrote my reply wrong,

megs hand polish is pretty good to be honest,

ask Dave or wait for him because he works by hand and i work via P/C so use different products.

[Rik178m]

Okie dokie cmon dave where are ya lol

[d6dph]

Sorry got kidnapped and forced to go to a pub.

The list looks ok but I'd go down the route of:

Auto glym shampoo cos I've already got some.
Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay
Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze
Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax
Chemical Guys - Synthetic Quick Detailer > Replace with meguiars last touch. better value
Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant
Autoglym super resin polish > Replace with meguiars hand polish (#81 iirc)

[1an]

Dodo, Dave do you have a warm coloured car to try it on? ill lend you my Dodo to persuade you lol

[d6dph]

Sorry, Should have added that a switch to a better wax would be a god plan. Nattys des have its fans but Dodo is reasonably priced and has very good reports.

Ian, I only have colder colours at my disposal atm. I'll probably buy the Dodo straight eight kit in the next couple of weeks.

[Rik178m]

Ok thats the products sorted now what do I need in the way of cloths and mitts and towels etc?

[1an]

aplicator pads, wash mits, sonus dewonder drying towels and similar but not the meguairs ones as they arent great., microfibre clothes

[Cotty]

wash mits,

I just picked up a sheepskin mitt from Halfords (their own brand) looks and feels great

[d6dph]

The best mitts I have used yet are from Serious performance, Three for £18 iirc? Superb quality.

[Rkive]

Ive been using Natty blue paste wax for a good few months now. 2 layers of the stuff will work well for a month or so.

When its ran out il try some dodo.

What can anyone reccomend for replacing the AG Resin polish with? (my car is non metalic Atlantis Blue)

[1an]

for a month! is that it,
i havent put any more dodo on my dads car since middle of september! and it is still prtecting like it was when i first applied it and the car lives outside.

[Rik178m]

I cant find this meguiars hand polish #81 anywhere! Howabout #9 swirl remover?

[d6dph]

I stock it at my shop mate.

Drop me an email and I'll email you an Ebay link when I relist it tomorrow.

I would say Light fantastic on a silver car.
