Best stuff I've ever used is "rain away" on the windows... Rain just falls off, it's silly, even when washing its hard to keep em wet...check out vids on YouTube...

I just got hd wax and we will see how it comes out just need the time to do it now.

You won't be dissapointed, the HD wax is very good and is quite durable.

I always use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and then seal over it with Autoglym HD wax.

I also use the Meguires Clay Bar kit

here's a couple of pics of mine after claying, polishing & topping off with HD wax:

I just got HD wax too, so wash, dry, clay bar, then wash, dry, SRP, Hd wax?

Whats the paint cleanser/cleaner stage ie stage1 meguairs? When would i use that?

Spray/hose down car to remove loose dirt

Wash car using the 2 bucket method & a microfibre wash mit

rinse off car

leaving the car wet use the claybar, you must keep the paintwork wet while using the claybar, which is why you are supplied with a detailer spray.

The claying process removes any ingrained contaminents from your paintwork, leaving the finish like glass

once clayed, rinse off again to remove the spray detailer

dry using a microfibre towel

Apply Autoglym SRP & buff off

Apply Autoglym HD Wax & buff off

stand back & admire your efforts :D

for extra buftyness:

clean windows outside & in with Autoglym fast glass & dress the tyres with Meguires endurance tyre gel

I respect your opinion.
However, I've seen a vast difference on mine. My wife's black altea looks really good as well. Really good product.:thumbup: Has anyone tried the deep cleanser before applying the HD wax?

Do not let the cleanser go dry!! I repeat, do not let the cleanser go dry!! It is a fecking nightmare to get off if it drys out!!
I would only do half a panel at a time or quarter of the roof at a time!
It's good stuff but is very difficult to rub off when it drys onto the car!!

I would also de- tar and de iron with iron x before claying. You risk swirls and holograms if you spread the tar at the clay and polish stage. AND, an somthing to remove all previous wax left on.....

Anywhere up to 5 layers of SRP which has a cleaner/cleanser/glaze so no need.

Basically its all preperation for polish to minimize risk of damage.

Its easy to ruin black paint, i know, its a $hitter....

Iv been using AG extra gloss protectant. Its not a wax but a last stage easy on and easy off. Also tried AG ultra deep gloss which is a nightmare to use (probably putting too much on!)

I really want to try some HD wax its 30 on ebay :)
