Does magifoam work? Well I wouldnt of purchased 25 litres of the stuff today if it didnt
Is the light green bottle the SPRINTS - Spray & Rinse Top Seal? Beening thinking of giving that a go once mines been in for a paint correction and full detail. Any good?
Thats britegel, there is some sprints in there however. By all accounts its a fantastic product.

Setup my three snow lances ready for the weekend and placed them in a bucket to carry. Should make it super simple between each step.
I think I nano coated my finger though when I was preparing the sealant

@kindai that some serious cleaning stuff there in bulk. I'm working my way through chemical guys citrus wash and gloss. When that finished I will try autobrite products. I did order 1ltr of magifoam this morning along with Clean Towels Microfibre Wash Detergent.
Their easter sale is *the* time to stock up. They dont do discounts this good again until next easter.
When looking on the site this morning there was really good deals on there, but I don't know much about the autobrite brand so not really sure what is good or not to be honest.
What are you looking for?
I would be looking for something to replace chemical guys citrus wash and gloss shampoo as I'm nearly out of that.
I like to make the daytona grey paint pop which the chemical guys currently do
Well the magifoam would be your prewash, autobrite do a citrus wash for something tougher if needed.
Shampoo, take the banana shampoo or the purple velvet.
Top with Project64 / Sonic Sprintz after.

Polar blast - pretty standard snow foam, clings for absolutely ages.
Polar wash - wow, the sponge glides over and it saves a 2 bucket wash.
Polar seal - also wow. It goes on like a foam, but then adheres to go the paint and repels itself. Washing it off is something to behold. It has left a brilliant shine. Also great that it literally seals everything, not just the paint.
All in all a very effective wash with minimal effort.

Gave my MX-5 a wash, wanted to try out the wheel stuff... Bilt Hamber. Rest of it was a standard affair with AutoGlym Polar Blast foam, and shampoo.
Came out looking pretty smart, most of the water beaded and rolled off itself... I wonder if its already had a coating of something or other!

Thanks for the tips, just managed to put in an order before the sale ended.
Finally bought a car worth cleaning properly so ditched the basic rubbish and figuring out how to clean it properly! Hopefully the detailing the garage do will last it the 3 or 4 weeks waiting for delivery of products.
The brand new Nilfisk C120 I bought from Amazon died on me after 30 seconds today! First time using it too! It's replacement comes tomorrow and I have 30 days to send the old one back at no cost, happy with that service from Amazon.
