    Collinite No.845 Insulator wax for me. I put the bottle in a bucket of hot water to melt it. Pour some liquid wax on the applicator sponge and cover the whole car fairly quickly. Get the big soft yellow B&Q towel out and buff it off. Really easy! Shines up nice and the dirt and road grime doesn t stick to the paint work as much. After that i go around with an old toothbrush to get the left over wax out of the parking sensors, badges and panel gaps. Thanks for reading!

    Jon. the amount of information you impart is AMAZING... so many people out there must have learnt such a lot ... always feel that you impartially endorse products through your own experience which the viewer can trust... thank you

      thanks Will. one of the foundation principles was to provide evidence based recomendations and not allow companies to pay me to get the products featured on the channel. I still stick to it this day. But I understand now why you tube is full of promotion because theres a lot of money to be made and money is like good to have. I chose a different way and I ask people to join me on patreon if they feel they save money on the channels. I wasnt sure if doing it this way would work but its working and slowly but surely the channel has become my full time occupation now and I love doing it. cheers for the kind words buddy

    I love my Zaino Z2 so easy to use and gives superb results on my SG E46 M3.... last week applied Chemical guys buttery wet wax on top to get a wetter glossier look and it’s looking very nice (car is a garage queen so doesn’t see the elements)

    I use Finish Kare Hi-temp paste wax. I have been getting a good 6 months out of it. The shine is acceptable but doesn't pop like Petes 53 or Collinite's two paste waxes. And it's $20 for 15oz(~450ml).
    I also have a tip about the use of paste wax. Place the container in a thick freezer bag (zip-lock) and get as much air out before sealing it off. Because if the lid is not on tight enough it will dry out in a short time leaving it unusable. I lost a jar or wax that way. Cheers from Michigan.

      I am a huge fan of FK 1000P as well! After an hour or so after buffing off, i go over the car with Finish Kare #425 or Serious Performance Ultra Gloss Show Detailer and the car is shining to the moon and back. 😀 Almost self-cleaning paintwork and wheels, dirt just doestn’t stick, so easy washing. Also very easy to work with. Durability (after full torough prep) 5-6 months at least, can be stretched with using SPUGv3 detailer.

  • @Enselladus
    @Enselladus 6 років тому +1

    I’ve been pretty much exclusively been using FK1000P for the last few years as I have been doing valeting/detailing part time and it just does everything I need from an LSP. It's effortless to apply and remove, looks great, very durable, extremely hydrophobic and very reasonably priced, it’s very hard to beat as an all-rounder.
    I did, however, get a sample pot of Valet Pro Beading Marvellous about 6 months ago and I did a small durability test against 1000P and 4 other LSP’s and surprisingly Beading Marvellous was the clear winner with 1000P taking runner up. BM is not the easiest to apply as it doesn’t glide on very slickly but it buffs off easily, smells really nice, it does indeed bead marvellously, looks good and the price isn't too bad. Although when it comes to value it still doesn’t really get close to 1000P but I am very impressed with BM.

    I've only used fusso in Sept and it's amazing. Still beads exactly the same. I suspect that maybe because of not using harsh cleaning chemicals.

      TjažmaK not a good combo
      I have a flawless black Range Rover
      And I use menzerna products which are brilliant
      But if I top off with 845 it hinders the clarity of power lock
      Not a good combo at all

    • @ramonmalaya8451
      @ramonmalaya8451 4 роки тому

      Gerry, the Collinite 845 will sweat about 2 to 3 days after application. Just perform a quick maintenance once wash to knock it down. The Powerlock/845 combo is well respected for protection and gloss

    Been a subscriber to your channel virtually from day one. Great Vids and have taught me so much. Thanks to your review i switched from DDJ Blue Velvet Pro to Angelwax Enigma. Fantastic product. Usually do a pass of DDJ Lime Prime Lite if just prep for wax and then lay down a coat of the Angelwax. I’ll only do a Lime Prime Plus pass if i see swirls or light scratching which in any case i’ll do once a year.

  • @fraforgt-350r2
    @fraforgt-350r2 3 роки тому

    I’ve only used one paste wax - meguiars gold class carnauba plus paste wax. It’s more of a show wax, it gives your car amazing looks that I’ve never seen from a wax before. Lovely warm glow and very slick paintwork. Car almost looked machine polished after applying it, but it doesn’t last long since it’s mainly carnuaba based. Only lasted a month and that was with 2 top ups of meguiars ceramic detailer which really boosts the beading. I’ve just ordered BILT hamber double speed though and I’m very excited to see the water beading on that.

    I watch your video (most of them because i have limited free time) and i learn many usefull things about car detailing technic and products. I would prefer the Bilt Hamber Double Speed-Wax because it takes less paint preparation and last long for wax. For sealant i prefer colinite 476s for the winter. I do not make combo with sealant and wax for top. I use a spay sealant after the car washing.

  • @brandywell44
    @brandywell44 4 роки тому

    My Top Tip for all you car finish enthusiasts. I have a white Hyundai i10 and use AutoGlym products and sometimes for a quick go over use a Demon shine spray on as its cheap and lasts fairly well but not as nice as Autoglym. Anyway my Top Tip; If i use tap water to wash my car I have to top up the shine with Halfords car wash, and its good. However if I use rain water from the water butt I do not need to use any product over the entire Winter. This is handy for me as over Winter the lower panels and tailgate can get filthy in just one drive, so I give it a quick go over with rain water, bucket and brush on the lower panels and Tailgate and it looks great for not much time and the polish that I put on months ago still works well. Tap water (my tap water is soft and nice but it does have Flourine additives) takes off the polished finish if used enough times, whereas Rain water does not.

  • @tawidave7092
    @tawidave7092 6 років тому

    I used, Mothers Carnuba Paste wax, a few times. I always have issues with buffing the wax off. I've tried putting the wax on as thin as possible, but once it dries it's like concrete. Even after just 30 seconds. Great if you're expecting allot of rain though. I'll apply a thin layer and leave it. The rain washes away the excess. Then with the next wash, I use carpro reset shampoo.

  • @Guiltynathan

  • @davidgallagher5837

    For me it's twice a year with snapseal carnauba wax followed by naviwax ultimate ion coat. Then when I wash the car every week or two I just spray a spot of Maguires ceramic wax on each panel then dry. Great beading and shine and very easy.

    @MBgiraffe 6 років тому

    I was really chuffed with the look when I used Carlack LLS with R222 over it on my tealight blue E-class. At the moment my favourite waxes are Collinite 915 and Dodo Juice supernatural. I used to have a brilliant silver CLK with that I found Poorboys BlackHole with BiltHamber Finis over it would make the silver almost glow.

  • @georgewright8323

    @jowilliebear 6 років тому

    As always a great report. I'm confused. Some manufacturers recommend only using 100% smooth cotton cloths (like diapers) to remove wax. They say microfiber removes too much of the product. Try it. I noticed a difference, a little better initial shine.
    I put an inexpensive wax (Black Velvet) over Duragloss Total Performance Polish sealer. It last at least 9 months to a year.

  • @Dan-do9pv
    @Dan-do9pv 6 років тому

    Personal opinion for me my go to wax is Auto Finesse Essence, not the cheapest wax and not the most expensive mid range price but just find the results I get from it are so good. Extremely easy to apply and buff off and in my opinion the gloss results I get on my spirit blue paint are stunning! Then finish it off at the end with Angelwax QED just to really make it pop.

  • @DanielL.
    @DanielL. 6 років тому

    A good wax/sealant combo in my opinion would be Meguiars M21/M26, looks really good! If you are in to layer and top up you probably should be looking into some Polishangel products, like Mastersealant, that is a great base for PA waxes made to fit MS or any other waxes actually. Favorite wax traditional wax would be R222 or Colinite 915. Tershine Magnify SiO2 wax is a intersting product as well!

  • @maxburg4817
    @maxburg4817 6 років тому

    Hi John... nice brain 🧠 dump on this one... I use Collinite 845 in the winter and R222 in the summer but as a top up I use Gyeon Wet Coat which is great for maintenance. However the one sealant if find which is brilliant after I do a correction is Menzerna Powerlock !! Bloody good stuff ! 👍🏼👍🏼

  • @truuuupR
    @truuuupR 6 років тому

    Great video as usual mate
    I've mentioned in one of your previous videos that I've noticed that fusso leaves a really nasty oily residue behind. Regardless of how thin I spread it, to the point where I'll load the applicator, and run it empty before reloading - it still leaves behind a near impossible to buff off residue even when swapping to several clean microfibers. It's hard to see the residue in normal lighting, but in direct sunlight or under an inspection torch its pretty visible.
    I've not tried too many waxes, but Naviwax is possibly the easiest I've used to date. It goes onto a damp/wet panel and seems to spread very evenly and easily. You can see the water repelling/beading properties take effect as soon as you get a thin layer of product on the car.
    I had a small sample tub of JaysWax which uses the Si02 ceramic which you've talked about in previous videos. A really pleasant wax to to apply and buff off. Not sure if this is the same with all Si02 waxes, but it seemed to glide off the paint effortlessly with no residue left behind. I even missed a big patch of it accidentally and didn't realise until the following day - even that buffed off like I'd only applied it a few minutes prior.
    On a side note I'd be really interested in hearing your views on Si02 vs carnauba waxes.

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  6 років тому

      your right about fusso. It is prone to ghosting. misting water on the pad will reduce the amount of wax you pickup. some say full dry cure can help more. but yes if you have intense light and black paint, you can see things you cannot see on other colors. this is one of fussos downsides. KOG doesnt have this problem, suspect kiawma (sp) wont either. Its because its using lots of parafin wax.

    • @truuuupR
      @truuuupR 6 років тому

      W33K3NDMU51C nah it’s not the amount you apply. It’s unfortunately just a side-effect of this particular wax. Gutting really as it gives a pretty durable coat of protection that lasts. I’ve had to stop using it because there’s no way to get it on and off the paint without that oily ghosting look it leaves behind :(

    • @W33K3NDMU51C
      @W33K3NDMU51C 6 років тому

      Yeah, such a massive shame as you mention, its gives a durable protection! I will give it one more go (I have loads left in the tub) before I go elsewhere. I used wolf's chemicals hardbody before that, was a great product but was a pain to buff off.

  • @MiriamCalloway
    @MiriamCalloway 6 років тому +1

    Love your channel! I am a complete detailing novice and only began my journey 5 months ago after purchasing a new car and wanting to make it's paint last. After watching countless wax reviews, I settled on using FK High-temp Wax for it's protective qualities and budget friendly price point. Now my question is, what do I do when it's time to re-seal? Do I need to strip off the original layer of FK Wax, go over it with clay bar, or can I just give the car a good wash and re-apply? Besides the product found in my shampoo, CG Extreme Body Wash + Wax, I haven't used any other wax on top of the sealant. It's been 4 months since application, so I'm sure it's time to take some action. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Speaking about Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax again, on the label they indicate that you can in fact apply the wax in the sun. I always do this on hot summer days (I don't have a roof available after washing at my coin wash), and never had any issues with it. Just FYI.

    Love your channel Jon, you have taught me lots. On wax started with BH Double Speed and liked. Fusso, on your advice, got me through winter as an excellent durable 'shiny' sealant. Now want to move on and tempted to try new AG UHD, despite premium. Like you I'm always looking for value and performance, so I wondered how you rates something like AW's astonishingly expensive Enigma vs say AG's UHD?

  • @6.2ltrv85
    @6.2ltrv85 6 років тому

    Great review. I love your application procedures, much like mine, I never bought into the straight line thing, too many missed spots as you say.
    I live in the US Houston, Tx area, very hot and humid. Adam's Polishes is very popular here and I own many of their products. I have used P21s VERY much in my past. SUPER easy to apply and no residue. Almost fail safe as a wax. Poor Boys is one other and very cheap for the results.
    I have since gone to a line in the US called AMMONYC. The products developed by this guy LARRY, (you prob have seen his videos) came up with a line and they do build and work with one another. A sort of non_permanent "ceramic like" coating in a tiny bottle, then a sealant, then his carnuba wax to finish it off. He has his spray lubricant and or drying agent and spit shine, a sort of spray wax and they all include or ar infused with the same chemicals to play well with one another.
    I find the regimen ( which he calls it) to be pretty good. Quite pricey, not for the average joe on weekends but none the less for any car guru or classic car owner or high end or specialty car, I highly recommend the AMMO.

    What are you views on applying wax by machine? I once read that apply by machine, remove by hand was a suggested method as a machine would give a more even coat.

    Love carpro boa. My go to towel for waxes. Bh finis or dsw and boa is a dream. Even dried fusso goes easily. Just do the towel make the work.

      they good towels.. but in the UK we have in2detailing korean edgeless 350. Which are like 1.65 each when you buy ten. give them a quick wash and tumble first. Its the same sort of towel as a boa but a fraction of the price (40x40 as well)

    I like R222, it seems to give my black paint a good gloss. It's also very easy to use as you don't have to wait for it to cure. The only downside is it isn't very durable. I'm thinking of giving the new Autoglym Ultra Definition a go.

    Only wax I've ever used is Naviwax Dark...I've got a Sonic Grey Pearl Civic with LifeShine on it....I wash top up what I believe should be a sealant with the rapid 'apply when wet' wax which seems to leave a decent finish and beading effect but getting into salt spreading season I'm contemplating whacking a few coats of the Naviwax or getting into the Soft99 hybrid wax (not KoG or Fusso).

    it says it's 1080p but the footage dow not seem particularly sharp. interesting coverage. Even though one thinks one knows how to wax it's always good to see things like this, it reminds you of your good habits and warns you of your bad ones. I for one know that I get impatient and end up applying too much wax and I am probably to aggressive in removal. Trouble is, sometimes when you get to that stage you have been working for yours and want it to be over! haha. My plan is to go panel by panel in spring rather than stage by stage if that makes sense.

    Hi Jon, I've recently subscribed love your videos I was wondering is AG EGP a sealant and if so could I apply BH double speed on top of EGP?
    Kevin from Ireland

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  6 років тому +1

      EGP is a sealant. I think is acrylic based. You can top it with double speed but then you loose all the cool surface characteristics (smooth and silky finish)... I would use one or the other or you will double the application effort, loose some of the benefits of the one you cover, and introduce some of the disadvantages of the one you have on top...
      thanks mate welcome to the channel great to have you on board.

    • @ForensicDetailing

    Hard to get away from Carpro Reload at the moment, use it as a drying aid and the protection and hydrophobic properties is awesome, I’ve been using BH Double Speed wax on top of Menz Power Lock, Great combo imo, and just been trying some Optimum spray way. I wanna try some Ultra HD now, But my fav wax so far is BH Dbl Spd for a good winter wax.

    • @davidcobb8942
      @davidcobb8942 6 років тому

      How are you finding the Optimum Car Wax? I'v got BH DSW on my car and am looking for a good spray wax to top up protection and for treating hard to reach areas (doors shuts, hinges etc). Also considering Reload but not sure how well it would sit over the DSW as its Sio2 based, so thought the Optimum Car Wax would be a better option? Cheers!

    • @SRKarting
      @SRKarting 6 років тому

      David Cobb Hi, That’s the problem with Reload, its not really compatible with other sealants and waxes which is a shame as like you say its Sio2. The spray wax leaves a nice finish deep gloss finish. I cant comment on its durability as I top up too often, lol. It’s quick as its a spray but application is abit finicky, hard to explain but its not the easiest product to apply evenly but I’ve had great results from it and I do like it. The water beading is no where as good as Reload but it does leave a beautiful deep glow. Hope this helps.

    • @davidcobb8942
      @davidcobb8942 6 років тому +1

      Great, thanks very much! I've always used BH Auto-QD as a gloss boost and drying aid over the DSW with good results, just not too sure about its durability though. Have just bought Auto Finesse Glisten spray wax to try out, will see how I get on! Cheers.

    how long do Fusso Coat need to be cure? is the problem if after 12 hours the rain falls on the car. thanks for your reply. I love your channel!

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  5 років тому +2

      hey there cheers mate apprecaite it. So typically fusso will dry haze within 5-10 minutes after application.. you will see a strng white haze thats dry and you can buff away. After that the materials that are left on the car still contain some solvent that continues to vaporise over hmm say the next few hours... maybe as long as 10 not sure.

    Hi great video. I detail my car at least once a week and feel I’m fairly good at it although I’m always learning new techniques from guys such as yourself which is cool. One thing I always seem to struggle with and you touched upon it a little in your video is after I’ve waxed my car after a day or so the whole car is covered in a very thin film of dust then if if rains the water beads as I’d expect but them because it’s beaded when it dries my car ends up covered in loads of dust spots and ends up looking terrible especially given the time I spend on my car in comparison to day most of the other cars on my street mine ends up looking worse! Am I doing something wrong or is this just a downside to paste waxes and maybe I should try an acrylic sealant as you suggested? Your thoughts would be hugely appreciated thanks

    • @richardhurr31
      @richardhurr31 6 років тому

      I feel your pain. That's just one of the downsides to beading. It's only particularly bad in early summer I find when there's more dust and pollen blowing about. It looks terrible on dark colours.

  • @jonathonwatson9800
    @jonathonwatson9800 6 років тому

    What’s your thoughts on layering wax’s? I know some do it to make sure they get 100% coverage and to get the most out of the durability. Others say you are only removing the previous layer. Just interested on what your opinion is.
    Love the channel keep up the good work.

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  6 років тому +3

      i dont tend to layer waxes just because of the time factor. I think you will add more wax if you do it, but Im just not sure how much.

    • @FABAutomotiveDetailing
      @FABAutomotiveDetailing 6 років тому +1

      I like to layer my waxes as well. I apply a sealant first then a Carnauba Wax. Never had a problem and it makes the paint look deeper and the sealant last longer.

    How aboute appling the wax with DA polisher? Is there any pros vs cons to do that? To me it feels like you work in the wax deeper and leaves a thiner easyer to buff off result .
