Great - I received my shipment of Finish First late last week. I ordered the shampoo, the Finish Prep and the Finish Polish/sealant - it came as a kit for around $30 (which equated to $42 total to ship to me in London - which I thought was pretty good - although the shipping time was AGES...around 9wks).
So, yesterday afternoon I tried it out on my 911. It had AutoGlym Super Resin Polish, and a coat of Blitz on it. I first used the shampoo, which seemed to really clean the car (it wasnt that dirty). It certainly worked better than the shampoo I was using before, tending not to leave much surface water, making the chamois effort all the less.... which is always good ;)
Next, I used the Finish First Prep. According to the bottle, you only need to use the size of a dime (thats about a 1p coin to us), to cover about 2sq ft. It went on very easily, but you couldnt really see it that well, so I was having to stand back to check. I put the prep on, and took it off, panel at a time. Again, real easy to come off - and it seemed to leave the paint real smooth - real smooth!! It also easily got rid of a few water stains I had missed with the chamois.
Finally, I put the FF polish on the whole car. Didnt need to rub too hard - had whole car done covered in about 20 minutes. Then I left it in the garage...
That was last night. This evening, around 6pm I took the coat off *really hoping* that I wasnt gonna be let down by all the stuff I`d read, and all the marketing hype...
I wasnt !! Unbelievable !! Something Works !!
Im a novice at this, but even I could tell the difference compared to the way it was with the autoglym/blitz shine. It was soooo much deeper - and that was just one coat !
The instructions recommend 2 initial coats - so thats what Ive done... put another coat on, and tucked it up again in the garage :D
If it looks even deeper tomorrow I`ll be astounded. If it doesnt, I`ll still be very happy with the product.
Definate thumbs up from me (for what thats worth, lol) !! I`ll post a couple of pics when Im back from hols, in early may.
