Cheers for the pm (no worries mate :cool: )
What is it you mean (easy to apply) wax, shampoo, polish?
-
although not as durable spray waxes might be easier to apply through a pressure washer... i was applying autosmart aquawax through a pressure washer yesterday, to aid drying more than anything else, and was impressed with the results.. might help
where are you based?

im in stoke
well im a c4 tetraplegic, wich gives me limited hand arm movement plus the legs are wheels nowadays..so god knows how the roofs getting done..lol...( so im in need of something thats very easy to put on (maybe a spray) then just wipe off, thats going to protect and shine and give me little girl the sparkle her metalic paint deserves :) if this can be done with 1 product kool, god i hope so but if not nevermind.. im using a powerwasher to clean. (clarke 6600). with snow foam.. THANKS :)
ive been doing a bit of reading and i thought using these would be ok, Dodo Juice Red Mist first then this Ultima Paint Guard Plus - 4oz after, on my blue metalic, will this be ok? and if so will it protect and make the flakes sparkle? god i sound like a right girl lol..
all advice appreciated :)

or this first Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax then the sealant
-
i wouldn't normally suggest it but have you thought about a soft telescopic brush?
i have one that i use on large vans and although it isn't as soft as a wool mitt it might make life easier for you
-
Your best bet is to get someone like guy in. They will clean and seal so you just need to wash and use a detailer spray, will make life much easier :wink:

I wouldn't use Red Mist then Ultima PGP. The Ultima could be the answer as it's a wipe on and walk away product. Have a look about half way down the page at the following link:
