What's your favourite wax/sealant for beading?

[Booth11]

I took the opportunity to show you a few posts ago Rebecca.  (also to show off my 60/40 split with headrests)

 

Sorry Simon, I'm having a bad memory week, too much stuff to remember, something has to give   I will go back, seek your pics out and scrutinise them in minute detail  (not joking!)

It's got to be sonax bsd- small spritz on each panel, buff it in, job done! Gives outrageous beading on windscreen as well!

Do you use Sonax BSD on a dry car? Or apply when it is damp before drying off?

I wash, rinse then give car a quick dry with a waffle (probably about 90% dry) then spritz the car up and finish drying with the waffle!

Snow foam 2nd stage of 10 stages is it just me with 10 stages or does anyone do more?

Love snow foam 

I've never actually counted but a full on process for me would be as follows:

Initial light pressure wash (always at a distance and 45° angle to the car)
Pre wash or Snow foam using lance
Pressure wash rinse
Wheels pre wash with wheel cleaner
2 Bucket wash (with grit guards and wash mitt/ Wheel Woolies)
Rinse - final rinse open ended hose
Dry - MF towels/Metrovac Sidekick
Decontamination phase:
IronX
Tar remover e.g. Tardis or combined product such as TRIX
Wash/rinse/dry
Clay - clay bar/clay cloth or clay pad
Wash again, rinse and dry - as previous method
Polish - DA with polishing pads/compound
Wipe down with panel wipe
Apply Last stage protection - Sealant/glaze/wax - can be all or just
some of these.
Apply wheel sealant
Dress tyres
Metal polish tailpipes
Dress exterior trim
External and internal glass clean
Interior clean

When I've got a spare 2 days that is!

It's good to see that some people wash the cars properly. Swirl free with a deep wet look shine is the way forward

It is indeed.  I don't do all that every week   

It does usually get a weekly wash, with tyres dressed, exhaust tips polished, and interior clean -.time permitting

I'm so glad I'm not the only car cleaning freak around!!!!
