Close JPC - but no cigar, I have a brother in HW.  Where is your unit based or are you mobile? I may want to pick your brains on products etc for white paintwork. Just thinking about the group buy foam lance! Have you any thoughts?

Cheers

it depends how much you want to spend. i would recommend a sealant for white paint, not a wax.

Id go with Zaino Z2 or Werkstatt Acrylic Jett

Have given it a clean with carlack 68, AG tar remover, AG SRP and collinite 476 (which you don't like :surprised:) I don't have OCD but do like to look after my car's.

Any advice is welcome, including your thoughts on foam lance + when is your website going active?

Cheers

haha...where did i say i didnt like it?

to be honest, its an OK wax, but it lets itself down by how hard it is to work with compared to other waxes.

its merits do still outweigh its downfalls. its widely known that 476 is great for durability, but i prefer FK1000p for that, its almost bullet proof!


the unit is in accrington btw and i would definitely go for a foam lance! ;)

Thanks for tips and advice - you may need to chage by the hour!!!

You had me thinking about HW! Have you done some mobile work on a couple of Saab's in the last month or two? Is that why you spotted me!

Cheers
