the prime - cleans the paint and puts a base layer of protection (I apply about twice per year)
then the Acrylic - apply with a MF (I apply roughly every three weeks)
The Acrylic gloss (50/50 of water and acrylic) is the the third bottle and that can be applied in between the Acrylic layers every other week.
It gives fantastic beading in the rain and a super shine in silver and white, the more coats you give it over the months the better the shine gets. It gives the car the look that it's covered in shiney cling film if ya get the idea, the reflection off the paint is the best I've come across and I'm sure those of you with silver and white cars will agree me in saying it's bloody hard to get a good reflection of our colour paints. It gives excellent protection during the winter, very easy to apply, the dirt finds it hard to stick to the paint so a quick shot of the power hose blows most of the dirst off before you even start cleaning.
You should give it a go, you won't regret it.

I've got werkstat on my CW GTi and like it a lot (JPC suggested it, and he knows his stuff :happy2:) It helps that our other car is an akoya silver Audi so it looks good on both :smiley:
I would have to say, without a shadow of a doubt, that the silver hides the dirt much better than the CW

but candy white is still the fastest

Cheers guys, ill have a look at those products. to be fair ive just done about 200 miles today, including country lanes and motorways and its stayed quite clean so maybe that AG is doing something. i have some Turtle wax ICE wax next time i can be bothered to give the car the full works on cleaning it should i apply that after completeing the same method i mentioned above?
Just trying to use what i have rather than invest in more products. if theres more benefit to buying a new product (if not too expensive then i'll do that). Have to say that collinite looks quite impressive.
Cheers.

I get a similar look from FK1000P. First layer looked okay but once cured over 48 hours, look like it had been wrapped in plastic. IMO too shiny. Thankfully some collinite over the top sorted it out.
