Could I use FK1000 over the top of this?

I've used 1000p in the past and find it as solvent heavy as Colli 476s, I would personally get in touch with the guys from 50cal. They should be able to tell you how that combo would get on.

I have emailed them to ask will post the reply when I get it

This turned up for me today with said cool air freshener completely gratis! Looking forward to giving it a go now.

Did you get a reply whoosh?

Anyone used the pentawax from 50cal as yet?

i sent an email asking if it plays nice with a glaze or sealant base, and what type of qd topup works well (carnauba or synth) and received the slightly disappointing if predictable reply that It works well with the 50cal glaze and 50cal qd. At £35 less 15% from high def detail it sounds worth a pop, adding in another £20 for the glaze and qd im not so sure.

I know that they sent out quite a few samples over on DW.

A quick google and I found this over on a 350z forum. Next to my favourite wax AW Desireable.

Good lad ...yeh the air freshener is a cool wee article. 50 cal is situated at the same place the Titanic was built (bit of useless information)

Hi

Got a reply from them stating that you can use any wax or sealer although it's better to use their wax as they were made to go together .

They also said when asked about longevity .

The Cover-Up is only as good as the LSP you seal it in with. Otherwise it will wash out after around 6 washes.

Pentawax will last around 6 months when you use a neutral maintenance wash such as our Combat or Tracer Shampoo.

I will say that they are very prompt answering questions and after me only buying one item they have been happy answering all my questions

Hope this helps

cheers for that Neil. Read that tired last night and couldnt actually figure out whether he came to a conclusion on whether he liked it or not, other than it needing a rub down with qd afterwards to remove the smudges.

I know what you mean. He's put it up against two excellent waxes. From what I've gleaned from the write up, it holds its own against them, but removal isn't as straight forward or more like doesn't suit his particular application method. We can't get on with everything I guess.

Found another review of more of their products yesterday. A pretty good read. Doesn't give a firm recommendation but there you go.

Ive no problems working with penta wax find it easy to apply and no probs buffing it to a great shine ....but as always i'll top it of with BSD.

how does it compare with other waxes you have used? would you buy it again?

Yeh defo buy it again, like supporting a small local company that are trying to make inroads into the car detailing game. Car shows and meets will be starting again soon over here and the 50 cal lads usually have a stand at them and run some good offers.

At less than £30 + delivery it sounds like an absolute bargain!!!!

Will post a review up at some pount today of the Filler Glaze. Just spent a few hours on the focus. Initial reports are it is very oily and a little goes extremely far! More to come in a little while when the photos have uploaded.

So, today I managed to steal a few hours in the morning to give the Filler Glaze a go. I've been itching to try it!

 

 

It's a bright blue in colour and smells like bubble gum, definitely good enough to eat! So I popped my gloves on and went to it. Car was washed and clayed ready for application.

 

 

Swirling evident.

 

 

I applied it via DA on a flexipad red finishing pad. I'll say it now, a little goes a very long way. Here is a pic of a pad with too much product applied. This much could have done the whole bonnet and more.

 

 

Applied to half the bonnet.

 

 

And buffed off to leave this.

 

 

 

So I cracked on around the car. Removal is a little trickier than normal as it smears a little. This could be for a number of reasons, over application, temperature and humidity all having a bit of influence here I feel. But as I was waxing afterwards I wasn't too worried as the waxing process will have got rid of those odd smears that were left.

 

Anyway, Angelwax Desireable went on top without any issues whatsoever without drawing the fillers from the swirls.

 

 

 

And the car was done and dusted and all equipment put away in only three hours! Here are the afters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In short, a exceptional filler and a great timesaver. Very happy with the results. It looks great. Thanks 50 Cal!!!

Looks like a great filler, good work 

I bought some of this as well to use on my Orange Fabia, the only downside is I don't have a DA or Rotary so will apply it by hand and see what is does.

 

Order placed yesterday so should arrive by Monday latest...I'll defo post a review in my Project Thread on this

Post the link in here once done as I too will be applying by hand

Will do Dan,

 

I think i won't be able to do it until next weekend as I'm working Mon-Fri and it's Dark when I get home :(

Very nice indeed Neil. Thanks for taking the time on the write-up and pics.

 

The results look very good - and ideal for those considering this type of product 

 

As for the finished product - the car looks stunning. 

Be sure and let us know how durability/longevity turns out....

I echo those words too

It would also be interesting how different waxes affects the fillers

Well done & thanks for the review. It does seem like a product that does what it's supposed to do. Nice wax choice also

Thanks Gents. You can see in the after shots how it can be a little "smeary" which I think was down to the fact it was cold and damp outside. The last shot I took was after I had given it an extra buff after dampening by breathing on it. No issues with that after applying the wax.

Keep us posted how you get on by hand lads.

Thanks for the feedback and kind comments guys. I'll keep you informed on durability.

Car's looking great but tell me this,where the car is parked on that mucky verge is that were you done all that work to the car.?

Unfortunately yes. It's either there or the middle of the road. Not ideal, is it. I have to be very careful!
