Just noticed its 1/3 off at Sainsbury now as well - only £5.33. Will grab a bottle for the old man to keep his Octavia tidy with.

Going to give the car a full wash now and top up with this and see what happens?

Edit: Just did a full ONR wash and use Supergloss as a drying aid. Absolutely dead easy to use just like a QD or spray wax, just spray the panel, wipe dry and done. Worked in shade, full sun and even some warm (silver so not hot) panels and a dream each time. Then went around a few panels and did it dry and again it was just like using a QD. Tried it on textured black plastic trim panels and just fine with no marks or anything.

Car looks super glossy, but then it did before with numerous layers of c2v3 and OCW, but the beading is definitely tighter than before and the sheeting is very fast - you could tell as soon as I put wash liquid on the half bonnet I did early. It cleared twice as fast as the untreated side.

Seems a very competent easy product that does what it says on the bottle, although, 'lasts up to a year' isnt a statement I'll test until winter weather, if there's any left by then. Easier than BSD, slicker finish as well, although I'm not sure it adds quite as much to the look as BSD seems to. Beading isnt quite in that league either. Interesting experiment...

Mine got as far as the reg plate. You can tell when you spray it, it has some form of hydrophobic tendancy as it beads itself. My bottle appeared not to open at all but after multiple pumps it worked. Initially there was no air, splutter or anything.
Anyway, I will see how it goes, just because it is Carplan does not mean it is poor but it will be tested. It could easily prove better than the expensive products seen on here, I treat them just the same.One of my favourite sealants is Enduracoat and Turtlewax made that.

PS. I know Sainsburys have it and was waiting for the drop...

What's enduracoat? Not heard of that before

Here you go Dave, luckily I have two unopened plus half in use. Easy on, easy off, a bit like a Tough Coat application but better. Nice case, has a top up shampoo but never really remembered or needed to use it.

just used it as a drying aid... I think I found my new favourite product. Much easier to use than BSD and much more enjoyable. Made drying the car a doddle and left really good shine finish. If it lasts as long as BSD I will be stocking up as for £6 it is a steal even as a drying aid.

A think am going to go get one of these, i am newbie and i dont mean to sound stupid but when you say a drying aid. What do you mean?

Just apply to a wet car, it helps speed up drying. Really easy product to use and if durability is even 1/3 of what is claimed I think it would make it a great product

I gave mine a quick wash last night and used Super Gloss as a drying aid which is why I bought it after watching the AMMO vid above.

It's the first time I've used any type of drying aid and I managed to completely dry the car with 1 drying towel I was very impressed with the process - I'm a convert!

And the fact this stuff is so reasonably priced Win - Win!

You must be getting paid too much

You wont be wanting to borrow it then...

EDIT: I did go to Morrisons afterwards and picked up 2 cooked chickens for £2 (reduced from £6 each) to help feed me and my family for the next few weeks...

searching !

Where are you guys getting this stuff from ?
Halfords - too expensive.
3 branches of Sainsbury's - none stocked
Europarts - can't find it on the website .

Got 3 from Sainsbury's in Stirling this afternoon. Still a few bottles left.

You had to go 1 better (or in this case 2!).

Oh yea

mine turned up in this sorry state friday managed to get some back in the bottle and tested on a wing and found it very easy to work with! i'm yet to see a drop of rain to check behaviour though haha!

 

[Bigpikle]

ooops....

The water behaviour seems quite good TBH. I quite like the stuff, which slightly surprised me, so gave it to the old man to use after his weekly wash.

same as mine, the top wasn't on tightly enough

Looks like eurocarparts are showing their total lack of interest and care in all their stocked car care products.

Shame they don't do this with a bottle of oil or brake fluid where there more likely to get stung and fined.
