Before i Get banned again, this isnt advertising.....

As some of you know, im already swissvax authorised, but have had a quick chat with rob at gtechniq about becoming authorised to use their products too.

Now, the question is, would this be something you guys would pay extra for?

The products do indeed cost more, which would put the price of the detail up a bit (depending on what you have done) and would take longer, but in return, you get your car protected for well over a year.

Ive already used the EXO on a forum members (concours winning vantage roadster)which was supplied by him and its so easy to use, but the car has to be over 20c for it to bond to the paint. I bought the EXO kit, which came today and ill be trying it out on a mclaren tomorrow, but if nobody would pay the extra for it, then there is no point me becoming authorised.

I know some of you have used the products in the past, but as Most of my work is through you guys, i would put the question to you.

I'm not sure if my local Polish hand car wash has it, if they do I might pay a couple of quid extra if you think it's worth it smile

Hi Francis can you put in on top of paint protection films? Thinking of having most of the front end of my R covered and the current film polishes up beautifully

I think so, but i will check. I think it would be perfect for your v12vr, as it should be warm enough to apply it in the showroom and it will last for ages. Providing i do the same thing as i did last time on it of course. No point putting it over swirly paint work from the factory, just like the film.

if you are talking about Gtechniq stuff, then yes. Last time I bought it myself from Rob and had my local detailer apply it for me...after some guidance from Rob

...my car is 6 years old and has only ever been done twice with Gtechniq stuff ...it really lasts, so not good for repeat business, but good for the more lazy customer as it makes washing easy smile

Is it high gloss finish ?

Yes it is, though most of that is achieved with the machine polishing anyway.

Paddy, sorry for going OT.

I've purchased some Best of Show wax and after washing and prepairing the paintwork with cleaner fluid I'm happy with the result. Are there any benefits in applying another layer of wax?

Thanks in advance
Martin

I would indeed apply another layer, this will ensure you've not missed any spots and will keep the car protected for a bit longer. Nice choice by the way, that's what I normally use. If you or or anyone else needs any Swissvax stuff (if it's over £100) let me know and I can get you 10% off.

I guess it depends how much extra it is... Longer lasting protection can only be a good thing!

It would be around the £50 mark I think mate.

And as for Being too expensive, I seem to remember leaving you with a gorgeous looking DBS and most likely the best looking Aston at the Sunday service ;-)
