Nearly out of BSD and will get more but also like to try different things so...
Looking for suggestions for a product that can be used post wash, while the car is still wet, sprayed on, spread and buffed (like I do with BSD). I like the ability to dry and add some shine in one stage.
Recent things I've used are BSD, Bead Juice, AG Smooth Velvet so that kind of thing.
Don't care what it's labelled as, be it sealant, qd or whatever, not fussed on longevity as it'll go on most washes.
On topic - ive recently used one of the spray on - jet wash off type coatings 'hydro-coat' type thing - what a load of rubbish, the car looked completely chemically stained on most panels even after giving it a REAALLY GOOD jet wash off like the product requires.
Funnily enough, I tried one of those rinse off products too. I found that there was a roughness or graininess that appeared on the paintwork. I tried it on several of our cars, and it did the same thing each time. Had to clay it off.
I've got Autoglym Aqua wax and Bouncers Bead Juice but if you want something that you'll apply every wash and get a wow factor from then I love Wax Planet Poy Gloss. I've just ordered another bottle after loving the finish of the 1st.
Soo nearly bought some but Infinity Wax QDx same into stock just as I was thinking about it! Let us know how you get on with it - sounds like good stuff!:thumb:
Maint wash today (VERY impressed with AW fastfoam), 2bm, rinsed, sprayed QED on the wet roof, one mf to spread, one to buff - all it seemed I was doing was moving the water/product around.
So then dried roof and bonnet, applied the QED again but took a massive amount of buffing to get to finish, which was admittedly very nice. It was a cold day so didn't expect it to be easy but this was tough.
Broke out the BSD for the doors and boot, very much easier with the spread and buff.
I'll definitely use QED again and look forward to trying it in different circumstances but not for me. for this specific use, in this weather.
Wet Coat, followed by ultra thorough PW rinse, then final open hose DI sheeting. Quick pat over with woolly mammoth and job's a good un in the damp days to come.
Slightly off topic but kind of related, how are you using the BSD on a wet car? Just trying to sheet most of the water off, spray a few sprays on, use an ever wetter MF to spread and then using a dry one to buff?
Recently got some BSD and impressed already but this sounds like it could be a good time saver and a bit of drying lubrication

Five weeks ago our car got the winterprep with FK1000p as LSP. But for after washes i use Serious Performance Ultra Gloss Show Detailer V3. Great shine, car looks just waxed, tight round beads, and you can layer it - a 2nd layer gives you a longer protection.
You can also mix it with Sonax BSD, according to our resident mixologists :thumb:
