My car is nearly done (after cleaning, polishing etc) Bilt Hamber Finis wax for the paint Gtech G1 for the glass Gtech C4 for the external trim -still to do Optimum tyre shine for external rubber trim Bilt Hamber Ferrosol (lubricant) for doors, locks, window mechanisms etc - this stuff is...

The Bilt Hamber wax should last a long time, given the paint work was chemically cleaned you should be able to get about 6 months

Current Opti-Coat? Is there a planned change?

I have tried various things on glass, waxes etc were all ok'ish on side windows but not that successful on the windscreen. For many years I used Aquapell and liked the way it work but for the last couple of years I have been using Gtech G1 on all the glass. The G1 tends to last on my car about...

Good point, no idea how to change the thread title. Did not mean to give the wrong impression

Sad news for the Gtech team https://twitter.com/GtechniqUK/status/251908317167898624/photo/1 There might be a slight hiccup in supply - Detailing World

I am not sure about its availability outside of the UK but this might be worth a look Cavity Wax | Order Dynax-UC For High Protection Rust Proofing it is a clear underbody wax

I have just finished M101 with the Optimum hyper spray, worked very well together

I would say the DA and rotary both have a role to play. I use a rotary as I am not able to cope with the vibrations of a DA, my hands go numb very quickly As for videos of a rotary, I am sure there a quite a few by Mike Phillips

I think they are all highly enjoyable videos to watch.

Sometimes I frighten myself with my stupid questions :doh:

I think I gave the wrong impression with my first reply, although I had no problems with OCW on wet paint I use it on damp paint after ONR initial wipe with a towel Out of interest why is OCW not recommended for wet paint

I use it when drying the paint - works very well

As far as I know the rest of the Optimum polishes are SMAT so would assume GPS is the same

Yes, it is a rather good phrase. I wish I had thought of it.

Here is a review of P1 from the UK Non-Diminishing Abrasives Test - Meguiars vs. GTechniq - Detailing World

The issue could be that until you start to polish as a test you will not really know how hard or soft the paint is. Just because something is labelled a compound does not mean it will remove most of your paint, especially when used by hand. Although I appreciate not wanting to remove more...

Thanks for the update

Swanicyouth, did you get a chance to try the Finis Wax yet. I agree with umi000, it is a really good and durable wax but I would be interested in your views

Thanks, I had no idea. You learn something every day. As for beading, I do wonder if this is rather like lots of foam in a shampoo mix, it is a cultural expectation rather than a requirement
