Jeepers George you must have used half a gallon of foam on that. I use a Gilmour gun and none of the settings foam to that degree.

Here's a pic of mine first wash after being Swissvax Crystal Rock (£700 a tub) detailed. I've never seen water bead like it does with Crystal Rocks.
The wax is actually resisting the snow foam!
Parisien avatar.....hmmm....OK back to the thread
Phil - looks very good, if you want sheeting - you have to try Exo...
Simon - 2 points (foam / clay)
Foam: the Gilmour gun is good but won't get you this, you need a presure washer and a foam gun - then about 1" of snow foam product in the bottle add a pinch of special stuff and then top up with water
Clay: no wrong or right answer - I do use iron-x and tar cleaners to remove the welded on contaminants along the bottom half and higher if needed which then makes the claying the full car a lot easy and less risk of getting tar / grit in the clay. These 2 products will get off the hard contaminants but still leaves behind the fine contaminants which the clay is your tool, where as you need to work a little harder with clay to remove the hardened contaminants, these products make it so easier and saver
I use these products on customers cars to make sure the surface is spotless before machine polish / waxing but on a previously waxed car - no point just soft clay if needed and wax - idea is to build up the layers of wax for protection, as they can strip of protection
used these products on my Gransport before I machine polished - these help'd a lot and would suggest them both but only the 1st time, I've not used them on my car since
at the end of the day its what products works for you to get the finish you want.
It's not Typo at all. It's not even the cheapest of their products. It's kept in the fridge BTW next to the veg

Do you think Iron-X would strip some of the wax protection if used on an occasional basis?
Interesting your thoughts on layering of wax - I use Collinite as base wax and Swissvax and a couple of others (depending on my mood ;-) ) to layer and give a warmer finish..
Hard to beat....I feel the difference in a £700 tub versus £40 is pretty subjective!

The biggest difference I'd notice is that I'd have 660 less pounds. I'd happily spend to have someone give my car a really good detailing but would struggle to fork out that amount of loot for a wax, even if the pot did last for a few years. It would be ironic that I'd have a lovely pot of wax but not a pot to **** in.

£700 is a good set of tyres, a fairly decent separates amplifier, a quarter of the car re sprayed, a new cam belt, or a pot of wax! I think I'd have to be able to buy a couple of brand new Maserati's before I invested in a £700 pot of wax to keep them looking 'that' good. In the world of hi-fi the other components have to match in order that the most expensive shines through;I'm guessing it's the same in the detailing world. The wax is only as good as the prep work and to get the prep required it seems these products need to match the ability of the wax... Don't they?!
