I know this is in the wrong forum section

As title states but I'd rather get answers from people who live in the same country as me as its easier to get the products / sane weather conditions so my apologies in advance



I have an alpine white e93, I'm thinking of purchasing some good quality wax and have narrowed it down to the following

- Dodo juice diamond white

- Autoglym HD wax


Views / recommendations on either of then will be greatly appreciated

The finish comes from the prep, the wax only protects.

However, the durability of Diamod White is 3 - 4 months whereas the HD wax is 6 months easily. Both are easy to apply and buff off.

For white I'd be looking at using a sealant rather than a wax. I find they give a better finish and will also be more durable than most waxes. Some that I use are the Werkstat Acrylic kit, CarPro Reload, Auto Finesse Tough Coat and Dodo Juice Hybrid.

The Werkstat that DMH has stated is an excellent, easy to use system. Use Prime to cleanse the paint then seal with the Acrylic trigger.

I'd probably also recommend an iron and tar decontaminant before you tackle the paint with the Werkstat system for good results on white. I speak from experience. I use to own a Glacier White R27 Clio. It was an absolute pain to keep tar and iron free.

+1,000,000 on the prep being more important.

I use Jetseal rather than a wax. I havent had a chance to detail the car properly since last summer and it's STILL beading.

Sealant instead of the wax bro. Menzerna powerlock is good and then top up with dodo juice akrylic spritz after you wash byr car will pop! But as said you got prep first. De-con then clay then start yr sealant process

And if you want a sealant you can walk into Halfords and buy I can recommend AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection. Easy to use too.
