So what's everyone using? Here's my selection and views I'm no expert so just my personal opinions
From left to right
Top
Bilt Hamber Autobalm. Synthetic sealant fills minor swirls,used to use this on my white 500 using a damp applicator spreads really well 1 panel at a time then buff off with plush MF towel will also protect chrome and alloys 2-3 coats would see out the winter
Bottom
Finish Kare 1000p
Hi Temp synthetic sealant, I use this for wheel and exhaust protection,damp applicator 2 coats 2-3 hrs apart lasts 3 months plus on mine,also a great body sealant for winter although I haven't used it as such
Next top
Soft 99 Authentic Carnuba wax
Large tin and fantastic value at about £30,comes with an applicator although that's best used for tyres! and a 3 purpose tool in the lid consisting of a brush,pick and opener.apply thinly with a primed applicator leave for 5 mins and buff off leave about 2-3 hrs between coats I usually do 2 coats and 1 more after the next wash,
Leaves a glossy finish with great beading and sheeting protection lasts 3-6 months
Bottom
Soft 99 Fusso Dark
Again large tin even better value at about £20 also comes in light flavour
Synthetic sealant with PTFE,apply with damp applicator spread thinly 1-2 panels at a time leave for 5-10 mins then buff off,2-3 hrs between coats,fusso advise not to wash again for 24hrs, leaves a glossy reflective finish,I did my neighbours black Cooper with 2 coats of this in Oct and it easily lasted until March,says on the tin 12 months protection I don't know about that but easy get 6-7 months,I really like soft 99 products and pound for pound are probably the best I have
Next up
Swissvax Scuderia and Swissvax shield
Scuderia I use in the summer supposedly made for Italian paintwork,I prep using Swissvax cleaner fluid before using the wax,apply thinly I do the whole car before buffing, 2 coats again 2-3 hrs between coats ,wet look finish looks great and lasts through the summer,I bought this second hand so is it worth the £115 a pot new? I don't think so tbh
Shield.winter Sealant with PTFE easy to apply spread thinly I do 1-2 panels at a time then buff off,I applied 2 coats to mine in Oct plus 1 more after the next wash and was still protecting in March so does what it says but again expensive at £130 a pot,I got this in an exchange for some vintàge razors from my collection but I wouldn't pay for a new pot,Fusso would be a good alternative
Next Bouncers salute the fruit
Hand made wax,smells like a fruit cocktail mmmm,apply with damp applicator less is more leave 2-3 mins buffs off easily and leaves a wet look finish, I'm wearing this now 2 coats over AF tripple looks great good for 3months plus
Waxamomo seductive watermelon
Only used this once it's a show wax lasts about 2-3weeks easy to apply and buff off leaves a glossy wet look finish
Finally
Angelwax Halo and Dark Angel
Halo is a synthetic paste wax can be used on every surface especially good on plastic trim,rubber and glass as well as bodywork spread thinly leave 2-3 mins buff off protects for 6 months,fantastic on my shower cubicle glass too!
Dark Angel my favourite summer wax,has the same pigment as black paint and can mask minor swirls,I apply with a damp applicator to 1panel at a time leave for 2-3 mins and buff off with plush MF leave 2-3 hrs between coats, I do 2 coats and 1 more after next wash, Dark Angel leaves a superb glossy wet look finish especially over a glaze I use prima amigo, beads and sheets brilliantly
Also got a panel pot of Black Magic Detail Sirius but haven't used it yet
Well there's my reviews I'm no expert but hopefully somebody might find them useful
