How I 'clean' my car! Picture Heavy! - Full detail

Colli 476s is a good hard wearing durable wax but imo it doesnt really add any real depth or gloss to the finish. dont get me wrong, for the money is awesome stuff and nothing in its price bracket can match it for beading and durability.

Thing is, if your after a really glossy wet finish there are better waxes for a little more.

Down side at that price range is that you have to trade good looks for durability imo.

Agree, I've used Collinite, good for if you want long term protection, but for shine you should be using something else.

I use AG HD quite often, very good stuff, but I've recently started using the Tiki car care carnuba wax, love it! Gives great protection and the shine is really deep

Fair point. Maybe a good idea to layer the wax then.

have a more glossier wax to bring out the shine but after its cured lay on some double coat.

might not be amazing result, but its the sacrifices we make to be lazy and not wax our car every few month!

Thats a really impressive finish on silver... nice and glossy with a good level of reflection to.

I did have a little look into the Tiki range recently but i'll admit, its going to be a really impressive product range to steal me away from Zaino at the minute

DoDo Juice have a double wax for that very reason... was designed and released in conjunction with DetailingWorld (hence the name of the wax)... its a soft and a hard wax set in 2 pots. you lay the softer wax down for the wet, glossy finish then layer the hard wax over the top for the durability.

In full size pots they retail for around £70 but can be had in panel pot size for around £15.

I ordered the sample pack after hearing some good reviews about them. Was really impressed! Was also the first time I applied the wax by hand

Still need to give Zaino products a try!

The only bad thing i can find with Zaino is that you stop using everything else !

Right Arun, after xmas when the weather is better I'll pay for a holiday inn for you, you're coming up and were doing my car. Really needs a complete going over. It's actually over due a clay/tar remover . Maybe even Paul and NYlah's aswell
