Victor, I used to use 476s but 915 Marque D'Elegance is much better for sprint blue.

I have some if you want to try it since you're local. Usually that is on my complete detail, wash, clay, Megs Stage 1 paint cleaner, wash again, Chemical Guys Ultra Slick Mirror Glaze and then Collinite 915. Wheels are CG EZ Creme Glaze, Autoglym SRP and the EGP, really keeps the dust at bay and so easy to clean!

In between major detailing which is every 6 months I just wash and then use Autoglym Aquawax, gives great results and all in an hour!

915 appears to be the way to go. Detailing World organised a huge wax test the other week where they applied several different waxes to identical cars all prepped the same.
These where then blind tested by a number of people throughout the day.
1st place went to Swissvax Best of Show (that's £120 wax)
2nd went to 915 - £22 :)
3rd was Zymol Royale - that's 8k to you and me :eek:

My personal preference is Dodo Juice Purple Haze on my Noggy blue, though I do have there Hard Candy, Banana Armour and Light Fantastic too.

Its not just the wax , its like any job its mainly all down to how you prepare the car prior to sealing it with wax. Im ex Swissvax detailing trainer authorisor and tech manager, since leaving im amazed how many other products there are on the market which are as good as BOS and alot cheaper. If anyone needs any help on any detailing issues they have i will help answer in the best way i can :wink:

Yep totally agree with you.

For starters, why not give us some ideas as to which waxes you find are as good as BOS!

Thanks in advance!
