Courtesy of Jeynesey, mind you he sent me that link bloody ages ago, and I only just got round to buying it haha! But I though it was a good buy, and the sealant included along with the applicators pads and clothes to buff off it always a bonus.

good deal that is :smiley:
if you end up getting it shady make sure you dont leave the carlack stuff sitting still for too long without shaking it occasionally as its prone to going off, temperature fluctuations will effect it too.
been looking at this site for last few months, going to get some finishkare products.

What do you mean if I end up getting it? You implying it won't be delivered? LOL! I have ordered so should be here Thursday on next day delivery, but we will see. The sealant goes on after the paint clean and polish and then wax correct?


Cheers for the heads up on the sealant too, I'll be sure to shake it often :)

I'm going to refer to you as "The Yes Man" from now on lol! Good, glad I got that down then, I'll be sure to coat 2 layers of sealant and wax, and hopefully I won't have to do it again for about 3/4 months :)

carlack is still one of my favourite all in one's, but it does stink...

Very quick service I must say, next day delivery for an extra pound via courier :afro:


Applicator pads seem basic but they'll do the job, microfibre clothes look good quality though, and jesus, I didn't realise how big the 915 tin was, it's huge!!! I think it's gonna last forever if 2 layers cover the car for 4+ months!


I'm giving the car a damn good clean Wednesday on my day off, so will have pictures uploaded after that.


That will be a clean > dry > paint clean > polish > sealant > wax.

Well it's due for a clay but let's be honest, I'm scrapping the car next year, what's the point? lol!
