I'll be honest and say I haven't used it much, probably only once or twice, it was a nice easy product to use. Dan or Guy may be along to give their help, hopefully one of them have used it more than me.

I have not used it, however..

what are you finding wrong with the product?

how are you applying it and in what order?

how much product are you applying?

I must say with most CG products I have tried I have been impressed, even if they are a little expensive

Doesnt seem to give me any extra shine that i wouldnt get without it  :huh:

Applying with foam applicator, little blobs on applicator usually do a panel.

AG SRP
CG WLM
Jetseal x 2
Colinite x 2

Use SRP because lots of little inperfections i was trying to fill, then just lock them in after giving it its shine..

Just dont think its giving me the results i wanted  :sad:

hmmmm.... it could be that CC WLM is similar to CG JS109... both products will do similar things

have you thought of trying a glaze like Megs no.7, Ez Creme or virtua bond to thoroughly prep the surface?

I thought CG WLM was a glaze?  :undecided:

Waxamomo, do you know if Wet look mirror is a glaze/sealant?

Gunna give the car another go at weekend, thinking of substituting this with diamondbrite unless you guys can advise me against it?

Would just be wash>clay>wash>DB>Jetseal>collinite?

I always thought it was a glaze.

The label/product details suggest that it's primary purpose is to add shine rather than protect the paintwork.

I tend to go for a coat of CG Wet Mirror and then 2 x coats of Jetseal, with good results.

Hmm thats what i thought jay, just doesnt seem to work that well for me?

What you using after, im doing 2 coats of collinite 845?

I go for a coat of WLM, then 2 coats of Jet Seal, then a couple of layers of whatever takes my fancy...

Colli 845 is nice to use in the colder months as it's easy to apply.

This time of year I like to use CG Pure Concours 50/50 or Dodo Light Fantastic.
