Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I mention the conditions above....i live on the coast Coffs Harbour as do all my customers and most comeback around the 6month and yes most have told me they are out in the open...Dailydrivers...and they are tutored into how they wash there cars.

    I have used dodo juice and yes its good
    but for me the Megs looks just as good using iva NXT 2.0 or
    the Hi tech yellow wax.

    I always test the water beading action on all customers cars and i can say beading is still very
    consistant,thats not sayin i wont re wax thou!

    Iam very anal with prep work which has always produce results
    ..

      Yes you do mention one set of conditions. You didn't state that they were for your customers. I've got nothing against NXT as that worked well for my previous car. Trying to find that mega test on detailingworld uk site (or something like that) where some guys tries out many brands on the side of his caravan. That had some interesting real world results.

          And if you want to delve into the details, beading ability really only shows how much hydrophobic chemicals are left on the paint, not how much actual protection is left. So just because an old wax treatment still beads water well doesn't always mean that it is still well protected.

          Some manufacturers have even started to complain about how beading ability is being over-used in comparisons between products simply because it is so easy to visually evaluate. This has led to some wax/protectant manufacturers adding more long-lasting hydrophobic components and less active protection components (to reduce the cost of ingredients).

            When I wash myself with soap, I bead.

            When I wash with Lynx body wash, I don't bead.

            What does that mean?

              Well you see, Lynx is a non-pH balanced wash, as it is likely to contain alkalines that will strip most things off in a wash. Soap is your general run-of-the-mill wash and can seem quite inferior to the cleaning abilities of Lynx; however Soap will provide more protection as per the water beads. It's clinically proven.
