Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Tried Armour All Shield last week & it rained today for the first time. Given how easy it was to use (literally on & off), seems impressive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be interested in how you get on with this. I had a look on Amazon and after reading the first reviews was just about ready to order. Then I thought I'd check the one star reviews which kind of put me off.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted April 2, 2016 Washed the 86 today. After a snow foam / blast off, there was very little dirt left. It felt really slippery too when washing with a mitt & dried off really easily. Impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALB453 51 Report post Posted April 2, 2016 Hydrophobic treatment and wheel sealer done by my buddy Aaron Gilbert, he's got his own detailing business in Daventry which is a 35min drive for me to get to him but is 100% worth it, going to be repping his buisness at shows and what not ( its Aaron in both of the pictures haha! ) 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foulsmell 120 Report post Posted May 5, 2016 Old protection stripped off. Chemical detox from fallout and tar. Paint was in good shape so no correction needed. Then 2 coats of AF Tough Coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
long-gone 152 Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Tried some of the wet coat above - superficially very good, but has left a fair few streaks. DW suggests user error but I don't see how. Washed car, left wet, sprayed all over with wet coat and PW off. Sheeting was excellent but once towelled dry some obvious streaks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted May 7, 2016 You have to rinse the **** out of each panel and apply out of the sun one panel at a time. I have black and don't get streaks with that approach _____________________________________ www.tuned.org.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
