Subbed. Let's see a nice race car build!!!

Can't wait to see the finished article. Always loved this car-

First use on semi interior plastics. A good application on exterior plastics lasted me(in good weather) 6 weeks id say. I should do a longevity test but it's in my maintenance wash now as I always like to have nice black plastics.

Okay so ilogikal has kindly let me post my review of a product on this thread. Simoniz - Back to Black Bumper and Tyre Gel. This is a product not in the mainstream but I'm sure it's highly available on the high street or online - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pv-97704-simoniz-back-to-black-bumper-and-tyre-gel-500ml.aspx?utm_source=ProductSearch&utm_medium=GoogleBase&utm_campaign=GoogleBase_ProductsFeed&utm_content=97704&gclid=CPadw-bk0sICFYbKtAodKmgAaA I wanted to share this particular product as I see a lot of company's marketing that they can bring back your interior/exterior plastics up in a shot. But at a price. I'll let you see the photos and make your own mind up but for its price point I think this is quite a good punt and value for money. Prep work was just to clean it down with some car shampoo, in this case I used Auto Glym. Next step is to dry off the area so there's no moisture remaining as if there is it will thin the product and it will be less effective. Apply a small amount to a applicator pad. I'm using microfibre pads as I find they work fantastically well. Begin the apply the product in any motion you'd like until you see the problem area get darker. After 5 mins working the product I got this finish a 50:50 to show you the effect of the product... I think the difference is quite substantial. Here are some more photos to show you the finish you can get. Thanks for looking :-)

Very exciting updates. Can't wait to see this finished 😊

Do you use the incredimitt then? I'm stuck between pad and sponge 😩

Problem I've found, I don't use my mitt, like a mitt. My hand never goes inside for some strange reason. Claustrophobic hand I think

Currently using a Microfibre Madness Incredisponge which I really like, I'd only consider changing it for the Incredipad - they do a mit as well but I found I tend to use mits like sponges or pads rather than as a mit anyway; I'm so over mits. They look incredibly interesting. YOU LOVE MAKING ME SPEND MONEY DONT YOU!! Haha

Fusso Soft 99 is very durable, and I wouldn't top it at all, not even with Collinite. Soft 99 is a sealant and has excellent water behaviour, better even than Collinite and from what I've seen, I think will be at least as durable. I think you're thinking of Fusso Authentic Wax which is another excellent product, but isn't that durable itself. In the summer, it's been known for people to top the Soft 99 with the Authentic, for looks*. In winter however, this would be counter productive as you would lose the sealant benefits of the Soft 99. If you want the most durable wax with carnauba in it, the Finis Wax by Bilt Hamber is it. *I'm of the opinion that looks come from the prep work anyway and the lsp's job is to protect the paint and adds very little, if anything to the looks IF the prep (decontamination/polishing and what not) has been done right. Couldn't agree more. Wax doesn't make shine. Wax will create a gloss and a protective barrier after polishing/glazing. With Prima Amigo underneath Fusso i believe it will be a fantastic combo!! Thanks for your input. I'm for sure getting some Fusso Dark. Do you have Instagram too? You seem very keen on detailing too!

As do you. I'm glad people are finding some of it useful, I always just think of this thread as somewhere for me to witter on about detailing without the bored faces of my friends. I'm a real sucker for a good product though!! What wash mitt do you use? I'm currently using a microfibre noodle mitt but thinking I want a change in the new year 😕

You have a new follower â˜ºï¸ well when I use it I'll be sure to throw some photos on Instagram :-) love this thread lots of helpful info Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hahaha! You're a sucker for a test, and I love it!! People just say Fusso wears off quite quickly if not locked in with something on top. I'll be sure to throw some photos up. Do you have Instagram I can follow you on? Thanks

Id probably say I'm using dilution in the feeder bottle 5(water):1(SF). People just say Fusso should be locked in by a wax. Would you just recommend a carnauba product? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not used Fusso, no. I have used Prima Amigo in the past though, it's a very good glaze. Snowfoam I recommend Car Chem (or 5 litres) Bilt Hamber AutoFoam or Auto Finesse Avalanche - depending on which is cheapest (don't forget delivery charges), they all clean very well. Shampoo would depend on what you're after ultimately - whether you want a "pure" shampoo or one to top-up protection and/or gloss. For a pure shampoo I recommend either Car Chem 1900:1 (or 5ltr, or that with your choice of name & scent) or Gyeon Bathe. If you want a top-up shampoo I recommend BriteMax CleanMax or the absolutely superb Gyeon Bathe+ which, if used regularly, can be used as an LSP in it's own right. Brilliant I'm using Car Chem now and it doesn't seem to pull any dirt off at all. Not sure what I'm doing wrong ðŸ˜! Fusso is classed as a sealant so I'm going to be topping with Collinite 476S will this be okay combo to use? Can't wait to use Prima Amigo. I've heard fantastic things and I'm sure it will add some real depth to my gunmetal Z

Happy Birthday Chris

I can tell you're very keen on detailing. Could you recommend me some products. Looking for Snowfoam, Shampoo. I'm receiving Prima Amigo and Soft99 Fusso Dark for Christmas, have you tried either of these two?
