Looks

Is it the C1+ you used? Going to buy some for the new caravan, if so, how did you ind it?

Hey NP - yep its the C1+ kit - the new slow curing C1 plus C1.5 to top it up the day after. Dead easy to apply with the supplied cotton pads, remove the xs with a MF and to make sure its evenly covered and job done. Cures in 3 hours and after 12 hours you spray on the 1.5 and wipe with a MF to add some decent beading.

Apparently the C1, C4 and C5 are all the same stuff.

Been out in the rain today and rain doesn't bead - it runs off completely!!!! Came back home and the car was almost bloody dry !!! Awesome stuff  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

Nick - it will be a balls ache of a job on a 'van cos its applied with cotton pads - definitely a two/three man job TBH. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

I was thinking about that, maybe they offer bigger pads, after all they have done big boats before

I asked them a few questions about it a little while ago, and ied need to section it all off in to areas and work out work time to curing

If its fits in a double garage you could section it off as you say, and do bits at a time over a couple of days ?? Youd need quite a bit of space around the 'van to work tho'. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

I would have to do it outside, which is my biggest stumbling block at the moment

Have ditched most of my stuff for GTechniq, it's superb.
Although its a little more time consuming initially (although granted not that much) the longevity of it makes it worthwhile.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Yup, same here, Finish Kare, Carlack, Megs etc all gradually gathering dust.
I think over the last 5 years, Ive followed most of the 'fads' on Detailing World, hence the reduiculoys collection
GTechniq have even nailed it with the polishes, P1 and P2 are top notch too.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

[quote="Bradders"]Here we are my detailing chums.

Jet washed, soaked with foam gun, washed with washing up liquid, IPA wiped down and Gtechniq c1 sealant applied to paintwork and wheels;

Did you say washed with washing up liquid I thought that was the worse thing to wash a car with as it takes the shine out of the paintwork and is very abrasive  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant

@Mike 21 normally you'd be right but i had to get any previous polish and wax stripped off so the paintwork was really clean to take the sealant . i also wiped it down with diluted alchohol too !  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
