Thanks Guys Bluebiggrin

@ freerider . I nearly bought a red one but the sales man was a ****
But im glad I got the Sea Grey ....they quite rare ( Only 2 in the club )
Looking good. In the comparison shot, is the panel split 50/50 between the two products?

Hi Springbok

The 2nd lot are the results from Meg NXT Tech wax

Its 3x the price cos its blue HAHHA
I used to think the same thing until I started using it Bluebiggrin

you can polish over it without it getting soggy and thin, and the best thing is that it doesnt leave residue when you pull it off.
Lovely work Lambchop, difficult to tell the difference between Tech Wax and CG.

Thanks Starvekos

I noticed that the lines of the images in the reflection shots look cleaner ( if that makes any sense) with CG than they did with NXT
Nice work lambchop.

You will find the difference between the clarity and depth of the reflections are a result of you using the 109 sealant on the one and NXT wax on the other.

Generally a sealant will give you paint that appears to be 'shinier' and the reflections will have more depth, clarity and detail than a wax. A wax on the other hand will give you a 'wetter' looking paint with richer colours.

Hope that helps Wink
2 quick pics to illustrate my point, I will let you guys guess which is a wax and which is a sealant.....Let's see who can tell the difference Wink

Another aspect worth noting especially if you have a metallic coloured car is that sealants generally enhance the 'flakes' within the paint where waxes can often 'mute' them somewhat Wink
