nipper09 10 Posted April 19, 2013 Hi all, I always wash my car with Carplan triplewax car shampoo and then spray wax with simonez detailer wax. Which shines and repels water lovely my problem is as soon as I wash it again I have to wax it again is this normal?

Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 19, 2013 Is the shampoo or anything else you use "wax safe". Some say they are. I would use a hard wax like collinite 915. That's what I use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted April 19, 2013 They are both budget products and you get what you pay for tbh. With regard to the detailer wax, its just a quick detailer at a guess, so is not gonna give you any sort of lasting protection anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted April 19, 2013 I think as well there is a product that covers over your paint in a clear fine film, protecting it from stone chips and tar and salt spray up and prevents too much UV light attacking the paint. The product is Dura Shield you have the whole car sprayed with it, and it can last for 3 or 4 years. I had mine done years ago just to try it and it does work well, but I think I had a different product but was very similar to the above Dura Shield.
