I have recently switched to Adam's Polishes product from duragloss.

adam's tyre products are amazing especially the deep purple cleaner. Very easy to dissolve my f31 brake dust and easy to clean

I also use Adam's car shampoo, duragloss aquawax and rainx glass cleaner and window sealant.

My F31 is opticoated for a year and still beads after each maintenance wash

Would love know how you guys clean your car.

My AW F30 is coated in Cquartz Finest by Morrie at Reflection Perfection. I've started using the products recommended by Morrie that you can order from Waxit Car Care online

Washing - CarPro Reset
Quick Detailer - CarPro Reload - I use this as an additional sacrificial layer after a wash.
Tyres - CarPro Pearl - Gives a Low gloss to matt look. I also use Castrol Tyre Gloss which I've had for a while which you paint on - very glossy and durable when it rains - can sling up a bit if you don't wipe of the excess but that can be said for all products.

Since coating in CQF and using the above products not only do I get the great water beading but overall less road dirt accumulates on the car when its both wet and dry.

For Tyre Cleaning with lots of brake dust, the stronger 'purple' colour wheel cleaners are the best as it really dissolves brake dust easily and turn them into Purple. I used Einzett 1Z wheel cleaner but Adam's Polishes gave the better results on dissolving the front brake dust.

nice pix, do you have any dirt on the lower panel of the doors after rain? I guess my car had been parked on the street overnight and drove up and down of NSW every now-and-then, i'm thinking to have an annual check with my Opticoat dealer in Sydney.

one thing for sure, my coated car still attracts quite a lot of stubborn dirt and pollen.

I do get some light spotting with an AW but nowhere near what I use to get. I also get less on the rear bar after rain which seems to be a collection point for dirt from spray

For Adam's Polishes, you can go to either:
Adamspolishes.net.au or go direct from US adamspolishes.com (US site is doing a 15% site wide special with free shipping over US$90 - it's cheaper than buying through the affiliates in AU).

I still have a gallon shampoo on back order from AU site but just ordered a mad delivery from US site taking advantages of 15% off.

You can also go to Carcareproducts.com.au (Sydney pickup for free)

do a google search and you might find some discount coupons too.

I'm very happy with my DIY opticoat and topped after each wash with Car Pro reload. Really gets the shine and slickness happening. A great combo with Opticoat. Just make sure you use the two bucket method and I like to use a foam lance before the wash. Reload takes 5 minutes after the wash and really make the paint glow.
