Questions / Best winter wax protection
« on: October 27, 2015, 06:22:09 PM »
Hi,

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but what wax would you recommend that is easy to apply ( I don't have the skill to use an electric buffer) for my Record Grey A500 to help protect the paintwork through the winter, especially against road salt etc.

I currently use Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 sealant that I find really easy to apply and seems to work really well. I also put GTECHNIQ Wheel sealer on when I got the car in March, so I'm hoping that will help protect the alloys.

Questions / What would you recommend for detailing the inside?
« on: March 20, 2015, 11:07:36 AM »
Hi Guys,

Bertie kindly helped me with my detailing question previously, but now I want to get the right sort of products for detailing the inside.

The car is new, so it's currently mint, and I want to try and keep it that way.

What products and applicators would you recommend? (I have a cloth interior if that helps).

Thanks guys.

Questions / To Seal then Wax or Wax Then Seal.. That is the question?
« on: March 17, 2015, 01:07:15 PM »
Hi Guy's

With all my previous cars I have been lazy and taken them to the local wash and scratch car washers.

This baby has got me hooked so I have decided to take my PW out of the cardboard packaging for the first time ever and detail the car myself, (there's just something about this car that's making me want to look after it ;D).

I have bought some products to try out, without knowing much about what I am doing, but as the subject states do I seal first and then wax or wax then seal?

I have bought

2 buckets with grit guards to d the two bucket wash
Mamouth lambs wool Mitt
Microfiber Mitt
Chemical Guys Snow Foam
Valet Pro Bilberry PH neutral Wheel Cleaner
Gtechniq C5 Wheel Sealant Kit  (I have the  standard Abarth 16" Painted Wheels)
Chemical Guys V7 High Gloss Spray Sealant (I have a Record Grey Metallic).
Gtechniq T2 Tyre dressing.

I haven't bought wax yet, as I didn't know which was the best, easiest to apply (by hand) and longest lasting without spending a fortune. Also do I seal/wax over the Nerbarth side stickers or do I need to be very careful and make sure I miss them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

After a long wait (felt like forever) I finally took delivery of my Record Grey A500.

I'm loving it :)
