Title: Tornado Red Wax
Post by: chimp400 on June 27, 2020, 12:04:01 pm: I’m bamboozled by all the waxes out there but was going to give either dodo Juice orange crush or Collinite 476 a go.
Anybody tried anything else on Tornado Red?
Something around £30 would do.
Fancied giving Autoglym Hd wax a go but the price put me off.

Having a cover will held keep the paint from fading especially being red the sunlight is not its friend (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200627/10eb54834a6ac8d28a264ccc6e52fa2b.jpg)

Quite cheap too. That said, we both have black cars and I couldn’t say whether it is your best option for red paint.

Post by: chimp400 on June 28, 2020, 08:17:42 am: Autoglym super resin is very underrated and still a great product I think but I find it does need a protection on top to help longevity. It’s probably a good idea to wait for the Halfords 2 for 1 offers and get the hd wax too.

I’ve heard great things about the Bilt Hamber cleanser polish/double speed wax combo too, great value as well.
