Just as I put the wax on it today , it just P***ed it down all afternoon, Gutted!! But it does bead off well, also got some of that Car laquer for windscreen, The jury's out on that one at the moment. I think you just need to be doing about 40-50mph to get full benefit's from it?? I will try and put another coat on when its stopped raining. Lookig at the weather April showers the bloody rainy season now sick of it.  :sick:  :cool:

carlack 68 is good stuff dude :wink: make sure you give the car a quick wash before you apply another layer of wax as theres grit in the rain and you could end up scratching your car :cry:

How tough a job is it to put carlack68 on though, I put it on today, the cleaner I thought was gonna be the hard bit, working it in swirl motions vigourously was a bit tiring, then the buff off when it turns grey ? I mean come on I was cream crackered  :grin: Then the sealant, ok that bit was fairly straight forward but I was still zonked from the clean part.
