I'd forget the Turtle Wax and treat your car to a twice yearly application of a good wax like Collinite 476s.

Most sealants will last 4-6 months. Most waxes will last 1-3 months. You don't have to top up every week but maybe every 4-6 weeks depending on beading and sheeting properties.

Quick detailer can be used after drying for a quick buff up.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Speak to some of the online sellers and get yourself a few items as the guys say - decent shampoo, clay bar, polish and a wax.

Not as dear as it sounds and will last you a long time as Stealth suggests.

I use Rubbish Boys - contact Ben there

It's finish is second to none....



it's certainly my favourite wax but after trying around 30, i'd say for ease of application, finish and price, the best wax/sealant overall is Meguires NXT 2 tech wax.  Not the most durable but can be applied in the sun, leaves no dust or residue, wipes off with ease and as it has paint cleansers, glaze and sealant in it, it does a nice job of removing hazing and hologramming while leaving a nice wet shine :happy2:

The last wax i bought was double that price :grin:

Although the size of the pot it will probably last me 10-15 years  :laugh:

It was a bit of an impulse buy after it was used on my car when it was professionally detailed. As i now do it all myself i wanted something a little bit special for the car and i liked the results it gave.

However for really good cheaper waxes i used to use (and still do) FK1000p and FK 2685 Pink Wax. they work very well together and give a really nice deep wet shine.

You can get the two of them for about £40 and use the FK1000p as the Sealant and then the Pink wax over the top. The FK1000p can also be used to seal alloy wheels as it is a high temp wax. :happy2:

clearly you need to be educated about waxes. Have a look at this: clicky
