I have seen Carplan No1 Super Gloss ON OFFER at Eurocarpart, has some big claims i.e applies in 10 minutes and last for 12 months etc. Seems to me like a Sonax BSD, QD etc.
I currently use SONAX BSD and it's the Mutts !!. Has anybody used this ? had any experience of it ? I have had varied results with CARPLAN products so not holding up much hope for this one, however if anyone on here has used it, your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Keeping mine topped up on the last wash. I must say the water just runs off it and the beading is very good. On previous advice I will be doing the shower with it!
Might be over application mine has been great on a black car other than in the heat of summer I think I over applied and had an issue, it seams to get sticky but fine all other times (used as a drying aid)
The price of Sonax Protect & Shine at ECP is tempting me to get some. It looks extremely easy to apply as well and probably lasts more than no1 super gloss
This thread is now 5 months old, since Carplan No1 first appeared. Has anyone used Carplan No1 and seen it last a seriously long time ?.
What i mean is, do we have any evidence that it will last much longer than BSD or even anywhere near the claimed 12 months ?
I would be happy to go buy and try some Carplan No1, for the small amount it costs, but i still have plenty of BSD which is happily been doing the business for me.
From these threads, Carplan No1 appears to give a similar level of shininess and is very easy to apply, but does it threaten the legendary 2 months+ durability of BSD ?
I have no idea because I keep using it after each wash, or if I don't use this I use Bsd. :lol: So really I just use them for short term effect they give and that's over the top of fusso 99 anyway. These forums cost me too much money!
Regarding durability, i applied this to the sunroof glass on my car 3-4 months ago and havent touched it since, only with a wash and glass cleaner and still beads very well.
I use this exclusively on the wife's car just to see what made of. At £7 a bottle the ease of application its a winner and ill always have a bottle in my kit. Durability is about 3 months but we all know 12 months was BS right
I really need to wash the car it's on but it was beading really well at 4 months on a quite dirty car. To be fair, right now, the dirt has totally swamped the beading now but I'd imagine it is still working a bit under there, though I'd need to wash it to see, but have been too busy.
Applied a coat as a drying aid and one more coat when it was dried, on the missus white a class, at least 6 weeks ago. Washed it, and it was caked with dirt, surprised to see it still beading very well even on the lower half, after I used strong TFR on it. Beading was that good after initial application someone stopped her on the street and asked her how she got the water to do that lol.
I am a fan of BSD but this is very very easy to apply and on my white civic its probably slightly glossier than BSD.
I wonder if anyone who has used this could advise whether its best to remove any polish already on the car first? I want to apply this to a brand new car when I get it in a couple of weeks so its obviously going to be freshly polished when I collect it. Any suggestions?
Gave this a try and have been impressed, however seems to have risen in price recently. So will be sticking with a BSD/CGV07 Mix which gives outstanding results.
