I am currently using the Autoglym Extra gloss protection which although is good I cant keep doing the waiting 1 hour plus each time I apply it. Is there a good sealant (not wanting a wax) that gives similar performance that you dont need to wait for, i.e. rub on rub off solution?

Thanks in advance.

I use Megs Last Touch and final wipe down and also as a quick detailer.

Remember this time of year there is damp in the air etc.............hang on. Ibiza?

Megs Last Touch is a great QD but doesn't add any protection.

I recommend Werkstat Acrylic Glos http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...ylic-glos.html

Or CarPro Reload http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...ro-reload.html

Both of these add protection and are simple, mist and wipe-type products.

Sonus SFX4 is a easy to use sealant

Clark @ PB

Werkstat Acrylic every time for me!

SRSport

Thanks for that guys. Is the Werkstat Acrylic Glos http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...ylic-glos.html the same type of LSP as the Extra gloss protection? I was mainly after something that is longer lasting and gives the same level of protection but doesnt require you to wait so long. Is the waiting part and parcel of having something that leaves long protection?

Although I would obviously like something that looks good on a silver car having something that is longer lasting is more of a priority. Ideally between £8 - £18-if its worth it.

John,

I thought Megs Last Touch did offer protection? Been topping up on megs for a couple of years on my other halfs car for years. Seems to work fine.

Noticed not as good on the Nattys wax though.

@SRSport

Go with Clark's recommendation of Acrylic Jett Trigger: it adds lots of protection and is a true liquid sealant.

Glos is a QD which adds some protection but Acrylic Jett Trigger is the sealant.

@Stevesbluewrx No, no protection from Last Touch: it adds some beading but this is probably down to the silicone in it.

SRSport

Thanks for your replies. I have been looking through your website and just wondered if you would help to clarify something for me. Am I right in thinking that the Werkstat Prime Acrylic is the equivalent to Autoglyms SRP while the Jett Trigger is equivalent to the Extra gloss protection?

Another plus for acrylic jett trigger or glos for me, been using them over 12 months and only had good reviews....

SRSport

Just noticed the free P&P and am keen to order but I need to know the above question

"Am I right in thinking that the Werkstat Prime Acrylic is the equivalent to Autoglyms SRP while the Jett Trigger is equivalent to the Extra gloss protection?"

If this is correct can you mix and match products? e.g. Autoglym SRP followed by jett trigger?

John @ PB

Auto Glym and Werkstat are completely different, and work in different ways.

Super Resin Polish is, to the best of my knowledge, a filler-heavy, glaze-type product with some abrasive cut.

Werkstat Prime Acrylic has no abrasives, minimum cut, but has a high concentration of paint cleansers - it also lays down a base coat of sealant.

I have never used the Extra Gloss Protection and know next to nothing about it so have no idea how it compares to Werkstat Jett Trigger.

Generally, I always advise to stick with the same range: eg, use a Poorboys Glaze with Poorboys wax etc so in this case, I advise to use Werkstat Prime followed by Werkstat Jett Trigger.

If it is for the sliver car in your avatar definately go for the Werkstat Acrylic it works fantastically well on light metallic cars. As John states, the product is completely different to Autoglym and in my opinion Werkstat is far superior . If you use Prime in place of Super Resin Polish and use the trigger in place of the Extra Gloss Protection you wont go far wrong , the Gloss is more of a quick detailer product although it definately appears to leave something behind and is also a great drying aid if you spray a little on the car while going round with a drying cloth.
Once you have done the car with Prime you shouldn't need to use that again for several months if you regularly top up the protection with the Jet Trigger which is a true wipe on , wipe off product, it wont even leave any white residue on window rubbers etc.
If I was you I would go the whole hog and buy the Acrylic kit which comes with all 3 products and everything you need to apply them properly.
I own quite a few expensive waxes but I keep finding myself going back to Werkstat Acrylic because it is just so good.
Hope this helps.

SRSport

I would if I could but MOT next Friday, moving house following Monday (mucho £££), Christmas, straight after service and insurance to pay and then at the end of January the wife is doing her driving test. Hence looking for something quick for no more than £18. If you have to buy other things to complement it then the price is not really the price of one but all of them making it an expensive alternative but thank you, I will take your advice and will look to get some soon but as I have plenty of products left I will wait until they run out first I think. It is disappointing that you cant use them independently with other products.

Scooby Dan

I dont see why you couldn't use the Jet over the SRP as I have used it over Poorboys White Diamond which is also a filler heavy glaze and it seemed to work fine. I am sure it would bond better on top of Prime but if you dont have Prime I am sure it would still give good results.

John @ PB

As with most things, it's a case of you get what you pay for to an extent, but to contradict that, on white, Werkstat is only really matched by waxes costing a lot of cash. When you consider you can also use Prime as a glass cleaner and sealant, metal cleaner and sealant and a base coat wheel sealant, and factor in that the kit should last you around 18months, the value looks a lot better.


You can use Jett over SRP but it's not optimal: you won't have the same quality of finish and the bonding process won't be so good, hence compromising durability, meaning more product use and it'd be a bit of a false economy. (Personally, I'd rather use Jett over White Diamond than SRP.)

Be as well to use Prime and do the job right:

+1 for the Werkstat - fantastic and easy to apply.

Used it on my old Hawk STi and now on my UG Focus RS - stunning paint flake and beads like a good 'un.

Steve

Clark @ PB

chunkb

Well I will give you that,its a very close 2nd to your WR1 and while we are on the subject I would just like to say a big thank you to you and Rich and everyone at Polished Bliss for all your help and good advice with regards to cleaning/looking after my WR1 which helped me to win Impreza Idol,oh and your votes.

Scooby Dan

What a nice gesture, well done Chris.

I can honestly say that Chris and Rosy are two of the nicest and most genuine people I have met through the Subaru community .

SRSport

Absolutely, it has really touched me. Its been a long time since anyone has shown that generosity to someone they didnt know.

Truely a decent thing to do......

Did something similar with a guy off here wanting to try Autosmart Tardis, posted him a 500ml bottle to test.....

Nice to see SN being used for the good of the community and not just about making £££

The advice given from PB on here is usually the best you can get and at no charge, which isnt always the case....pat on the back for the PB stable too

SRSport

Agreed and I have no doubt that is where I will be making my first purchase of the stuff.
