[Forsaken]

I bought mine in late 2011 and I used it on my car and laptop last week and couldn't for the life of me remove even minor swirls! help!

Is there anything on the bottle to identify the new formula? Don't want to pick up a bottle of old stock.

 

[xJay1337]

The bottle design looks newer..plus it says "new formulation".

Just done my Black Audi using SRP by hand..The stuff is fantastic, and the cost very reasonable when compared to other brands..

Some pics..

Yeah can't rate the new formula highly enough. Superb for the money.

Would either of Autoglym SRP or Vinyl and Rubber Cleaner be suitable for refurbishing a slightly faded GRP garage door? Which is best?

SRP would be a good starting point. It fixes a lot of faded GRP caravans, although they can go beyond a point where they will need machine polishing. But as it is only slightly faded SRP should improve it.

Am I correct in thinking, that if topped with a wax/sealant, then the SRP will last as long as the wax/sealant protection?

So if I regularly waxed the paint, perhaps SRP would be required only once a year?

Just used SRP for the first time in a few years. Having moved to UDS and PB Black Hole. The new formula knocks the others off my list.
It's awesome! The depth of shine is glossy and wet. No dusting unlike to old formula.
I just did a quick few panels before it rained. On top of a pervious treatment two weeks ago clay followed by PB black hole and topped off with Collinite 845. The car has been washed twice since.msthe difference was notable so I tried the masking tape test. A quick polish then pealed away the difference was evident. Top product AutoGlym.

Great guide. SRP was the first polish I ever bought and I'm kind of attached to it now so would always keep a bottle in my detailing cupboard.

great thread but so many comments to read so just one quick question, it says you can build up the coats so would you use EGP after each use of SRP or use EGP after every 4 or 5 washes and polishes with SRP?

 

[Gazjs]

If you were to apply SRP, and them EGP, then SRP. The final coat of SRP, would remove/affect the behaviour of the EGP.

If you were to apply SRP, as many hits as you like. Then top with EGP, you will be fine with only maintenance washes for a few months.

 

[jbhoo]

ok thanks gazjs, so EGP every couple of months and SRP as much as like in between? can i build up too much SRP? do i need to clean the SRP off at any time or just keep using it?

 

[Gazjs]

No, once the EGP has been applied, leave things be.

Have you used SRP before? I don't understand what you mean about cleaning it off? When you apply, as per instructions on bottle, you buff off the residue. Then that's it. If you leave it how it is, then it will last a few weeks before washing off, unless you keep on applying it. That's where the EGP comes in, it prolongs the finish and saves the hassle of applying every few weeks.

If however, you enjoy/want to apply SRP every wash, weeks or whatever, then I wouldn't bother with the EGP.

 

[jbhoo]

yes have used it before, it's just read so many threads on here and read about people taking polish off etc, so was just wondering if thats what is best, i don't want to take it off, i'm happy to keep applying if thats ok

 

[Gazjs]

In the case of SRP, I suppose you could take it "off" with a clay or paint cleanser BUT, the main idea of SRP if to fill defects, it has little to no correction so taking it off would expose the existing condition of the paint.

I don't see any problems at all with applying x layers of SRP.

 

[CockneyPlayboy]

Great FAQ's

Could anyone list products OTHER than EGP that WILL NOT take the fillers out if layering over the SRP?

(ie ones with no cleansers etc). For example is Collinite ok?

 

[xJay1337]

I don't know of any "waxes" or "sealants" that have fillers or cleansers, or they wouldn't be a wax or a sealant.

Collinite is perfectly fine

Hi, new to this forum. I joined because I had some question about the SRP and thought I would ask here. But during the activation period I basically found the answer I was looking for, but I will post it up here as well just to share my story.

I was at a club house when they had these vendors having a sale on household products. I walked by the Autoglym booth and was interested in some car care products. The guy pitched this product to me, he said it was a "wax" and I believed him. I bought a few other stuff like the shampoo and conditioner and wheel cleaner.

I went home and tried the SRP on my car. A light application of the product and wipe clean with MF cloth. The paint felt really smooth after the application, like I just waxed the car, and I thought I was set for the next month or 2. Well a week later, the car feels like there is no more wax left on it. I tried this product on my road bike as well and the "wax" too didnt last a whole lot. A week goes by and it feels like any old unprotected paint.

I did some digging around to find that this is not a wax but instead, a light polish, but the first post of this FAQ states it has a light sealant as well. I know this isnt a wax and more like a polish. And I was probably misusing the product anyways. Since then I have bought Auto Finesse's Tough Coat paint sealant and so far Im more satisfied with the level of protection it has given me.
