Yeah, I think you still have a bit of OCD going on there!

[SVR]

true but at least I`ve cut the number of brands down to 37 or so

More will go as I move forward.

How much for the chemical guys wash with max?

[SVR]

nah mate thats what I`m using

I ain`t selling anything.

[whis9]

Nice list, lots of info. You should list them in order from best to worst in each category. Still don`t know what to use

[SVR]

that would be quite difficult to do.

[David Fermani]

Clay Bars: Clay Magic red and blue

Sonus Ultra Fine Green





Interesting choice? :xyxthumbs I`d imagine with you not being in the U.S., you`d be using the almighty elastic clay that everyone says is the best clay ever to walk this earth? Have you ever tried it?

[DJ_JonnyV]

Hey, SVR, I see you`ve developed a liking for the Prima line from Detailer`s Paradise. Their line is kind of growing on my as well, as their Hydro, Clarity, and Mystique are all "go-to" products for me depending upon situation. Anyway, wanted to see what you are using their polishes with and if you can provide any details on working time, level of cutting, etc. I met Nick Martinez, the owner, out in Denver, CO, once and he`s a super nice guy with a great operation out there. Thanks.

Are you talking about the opti clay david?

If so, I hated that stuff when I got it. When stretching and kneading it, it was like trying to stretch one of those jawbreaker lollies, super hard and took all my strength to move it a couple inches.



Clay magic is not the easiest to knead either but no doubt that the red clay gets out what no other clay I`ve tried will. The marring is easy to remove too.



G`day DJ, yes I`ve really been impressed by Prima Swirl, I have finish and Amigo coming from Heather and Nick`s store this week along with Hi Temp Extreme power cut plus (water based version of HTEC)



I don`t use clarity as Aussie Gold showroom does a far better job on windows and protects for many months on it`s own too.

Epic I`m not having fun with so won`t be buying that again.

Hydro is great on my customers cars who go for the speed shine package (lowest)



OK with Swirl, which is more than a match for Menzerna IP 91L, the working time is a little short for my liking so I`ve added glycerine to each bottle. I can get two to three and a half minutes working time that I like and get the finish hologram free now.

it`s cutting is excellent but of course is not gritty. On some paints it takes out stuff that IP cannot.



I use anything from foamed wool to a polish pad with it, it`s very versatile
