To make it easy for people, here is what I recommend by the look you want

Ultra Wet look/excellent clarity - Prima Amigo, Mats Magic 4th dimension (still in development), Menzerna 106FF or Driven auto polish

Ultra glassy finish with good wet look - Glare Micro Finish and Professional Polish

Paint/Glass/Wheel protection - Driven auto polish, Glare Pro Polish or Permagard PD 5000

Hey everyone

My second only test by hand with my new product that is still in it's early stages of development. Its name is "REFLOW"
The paint softening product and the paint cleanser have been brought together to produce one almighty product.

This is going to be the worlds finest paint cleanser that will deep clean all the grime out of the clear coat pores, soften it to turn the paint into a showcar like paint, enhance the color richness to the max, increase depth, remove swirls and chemically clean the paint with no abrasives

Once available, it will be best used with a microfibre buffing pad for up to three minutes to allow all the impurities to be collected and the paint to be clarified.

Then you can leave it on or wipe it off if you wish (comes off easy) and you can top with any wax or sealant or fully polish the paint and then seal or wax. It is each persons choice

Where it fits into the enthusiasts detailing regime:
For use before each bi annual or annual paint polishing or use when necessary to remove fine swirl marks.

So give your car's paint a polishing, seal or wax it and then six or twelve months down the track, clay it and use the cleanser to restore and enhance the lustre of the paint and then reapply your wax or sealant.

You will achieve better results if you use reflow and then polish with whichever brand polishes you wish

** UPDATE ***

Octane - the ultimate quick detailer, spray glaze, interior spray and glass polishing spray is now formulated and should be finished

Unlike all others on the worldwide market, this one fizzes and froths like a bottle of coke or other soft drink and has incredible slickness, gloss enhancement and protection for exterior surfaces

It will be available in a month or two in a one litre bottle and you simply dilute it with water every time the bottle is half full.

use this product as a glass cleaner/polish, machine glaze, quick detailer, spray wax and to clean and protect your cars dashboard, door trims and centre console (not for fabrics, suede or leather)

A friend in melbourne will be designing the label shortly

you can get up to 2 to 2.5 litres of spray per bottle
Apply it by machine with a finishing pad to enhance your car's lustre.

Pricing is yet to be determined

Thanks ben. I am really excited about REFLOW and Octane. the amount of colour richness I got from reflow was amazing

Since formulating that first bottle of REFLOW I have been using it by machine after claying to clean everything out of the paint and enhance the lustre
I then machine polish up to four times and finish by hand for an insane clear coat depth and wetness

What do people think of these two new logo designs
The contact details won't be in the final versions of the logos but will be on the back of my new business cards
The old logo will remain as well so I'll have three to use as I like variety

Which one do you guys like the most

Plus - final design of my soon to be released product

Not for long, sponsorship of the site is underway
The more you order from me, the better I'll look after you and ford mods sponsorship

Plus I got approval from Ford Mods many moons ago to do this so it's not like I spammed with no permission

Thankyou though for the reminder to sponsor the site

Any more news on the car polish that has vehicle-matching paint pigment in the mix? I recall you mentioning it some time ago.

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike.
Yes some news. I've put it on the scrap heap for now. It will only work on single stage non clearcoated paints and I'll have to know the exact paint code of each vehicle and then find a way to make the pigment blend into the paint and not be wiped off

Hey Aurora, advice needed....

I've got some fine scratches on my windscreen,
from cleaning some bugs off with a green kitchen scourer.
Yes, with hindsight, I'm aware of my brain malfunction...!!

Anyway, do you have any tips or product suggestions for
polishing the glass to remove the scratches??

Many thanks.
