Get your beads out

[ChrisRs]

It will smear a little at first but it soon stops

[Sparkly]

I have found AB Ghostrider to be genuinely excellent - no smear at all from the start

 

Some of AB's products I like - Cherry Glaze

Some of them I'm indifferent on - Purple Rain

 

This one however is top notch, I didn't need to reapply to the windshield this time, but I thought I would add an extra layer and do side and rear glass.

 

have had friends in the car asking about what was on there because they have had smearing with glass sealants and abandoned them.

 

Carl, when we get a meet up sorted we can pop some on for you to try. Maybe do a 50/50 with Gtechniq

Forgot to take a picture of mine this morning, cleaned on Saturday, not moved Sunday and rained overnight - looked just like this:

 

 

 

 

Washed the mk2 yesterday and thought id take some pics this morning (collinate 915 topped up with sonax bsd)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking really good mark. Glad your getting back into it and actually working on the car again.

I have to say that G-teqnich 5 I bought the other day isn't performing that well any more Nd it's inly been on a few days. It seems to smear a lot when I do use the wipers.

Not sure maybe I should ask Chris to put it on for me next time.

 

Gtechniq C5 does smear a bit at first, usually when I reapply mine I get it but it seems to take a bit of time to "bond", so to speak, after that it will be fine.

Absolutely mark sounds good!

And thanks Chris hope it does stop smearing soon.

Good old turtle wax

It should do...but if not..come on over and I'll reapply it for you after an IPA wipe down

[Dinski]

Thank you Chris.

That's some tight beading!

[dbg400]

Washed mine at the weekend and ... virtually no beading at all :( It's had a dealer wash twice in as many weeks around the paintwork issues they were dealing with, and even the venerable 476S didn't survive.

 

Hopefully all will be back to normal after a trip to ChrisRs next week

[O.C.D.]

Do what i do and put a sign in the car when it has to go into the dealers...

 

Do not wash my car please.!!!

[dbg400]

Kind of difficult when I wasn't able to do it before hand and they were going to be painting it... I think this was done by the VW bodyshop, and they weren't as careful as the dealer (who did what appeared to be quite a good job when it was serviced last year).

[O.C.D.]

Ah fair nuff.

More beads.............this time on my mk1 fabia which is also wearing collinite and sonax bsd (i just love this stuff at the moment)

 

 

 

[O.C.D.]

Brillant, that third pic is a cracker well done , 

[ChrisRs]

Sonax BSD again...It really is the best product ever!!!

[O.C.D.]

 

Pooooorrn!

[O.C.D.]

Its amazing how the beads magnify the silver flakes in Black magic paint. Click on the pic to really show what i mean.

 

[dbg400]

Well, it had to happen. Chris and Alan spent two & a half hours on the Yeti yesterday so of course it rained today - but at least the beading is back (though the phone pics aren't anything like as good as Sparky's above)

[dbg400]

That frosty one looks like flowery carpet!

[KevT1986]

That wasn't actually on the fabia but an astra and was two days after two coats of AD obsession

[GrahamVRS]

My contribution

[mandp]

Pretty impressive, that.
