this has finally stopped beading so that's just over 8 weeks from one coat of g3

 

machine polish and 3 coats of megs #16 this weekend so that should look nice

I had a couple of QD/Liquid coatings I hadn't tried, so got them on today, just in time for the heavens to open  :}

 

This is  Alien Magic Argon on the roof and rails:

And Adams Gloss and Guard H20 on the rest of the car:

Here are the 2 together, Alien Magic up top and below the crease Adams G&G H20:

IMO the Adams has a deeper gloss when the car is dry, and the fact you can use it on glass and plastic too simplifies life :)

Maybe you can with the Alien Magic too, but I wasn't sure so the only plastic that got put on, is the roof rail bits as a test. No white yet :tongueout:

845 is good stuff! 

 

It really is. 

 

It's my to go wax for a solid base layer and for something long lasting during winter. 

 

I've always used 476s but think I'll stick with the 845 from now on, easy on, easy off, great durability, great beading/sheeting. Maybe loses out slightly in gloss. Seems to look better in low light whereas any other wax I use looks better in direct sunlight. 

 

Been thinking about topping it with chemical guys butter wet wax recently for a bit of extra gloss. As I've said in another thread recently though I really don't need to buy more waxes but I can't stop!

I sometimes think that car detailing products are the male equivalent of women`s make up products!

Not a particularly great shot or example except to say, this car hasn't been cleaned for more than 4 weeks. It's testament to the CPro coating that it still beads like this.
