ag aqua wax

goodbyalfa · 01-15-2017, 08:24 AM

Just discovered this product and I'm really pleased with it. Super low effort required. Wipe on per panel with the supplied microfiber then lighty buff off with a second microfibre.
I've had gtechniq ceramic paint protection and exo v2 since I bought the car nearly 2 years ago and I'd noticed that whilst it did still bead when wet, if didn't have quite the same hydrophobicity as it once had. I saw a you tube clip demonstrating how easy autoglym aqua wax was to apply straight after a wash on the wet car and I'm really pleased with the result. Mega beading is back

Yes it's good stuff and you can buy the large containers of it and save cash

Edit: the big container is called Express Wax.

Looks amazing.

It's great stuff, definitely buy the express wax, make sure you still deep a deep clean once/twice a year as the product does tend to build up over time.

I can highly recommend washing with Geon Bathe + which has hydrophobic properties - immediate beading on rinsing. I then spray diluted Gtechniq C2v3 to further topup the ceramic coating.

Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer is also brilliant stuff. Highly regarded and gives lovely beading too.

A second for sonax brilliant shine detailer. It's quick and easy to use and also pretty cheap.

If you like that try Gyeon Wetcoat

You don't even have to wipe it on, just spray a bit on and jet wash off (which also spreads it around the paint)

It's like putting a thin coat of Gtechniq C1 on your car and will last a few months

v6Jules · 01-16-2017, 07:13 AM

So a bit like demon shine but actually good? 😀

Was well proud of this ?

After 2 years it is quite possible that the original GTechniq coatings have diminished somewhat but what car shampoo do you use? The wax in wash and wax type of products tends to mask or clog the hydrophilic properties of ceramic coatings.

I use Sonax Red Summer which has no additional wax. You may find that a light claying and a waxless wash helps restore the beading on your ceramic coating.

I'm a big fan of an old school wax called Collinite 476. I once used it on a car in August, didn't wash the car the whole of winter and come March time it was beading.

I'm sure what you guys are mentioning is probably better, and obviously much more advanced, but I just thought I'd chuck in what I'd tried.

I used Collinite 476 on mine. But I also use ag aqua wax after washing. You apply it when the car is wet making it quick and easy. You have to dry it anyway, so it's not too much effort to put this on whilst drying.
