diamondbrite car treatment

[Piece]

very nice- thats a proper deep shine:thup:

I still have the swirls no matter what I do by hand- wash-foam-chamois-clay bar- prewax -wax-then sealer. still got swirls

As Roots said, DA or rotary to get rid of swirls using the right cutting compound and pads. Then its up to the owner to protect the paint, with the most important thing once wax/sealant in place, being clean the car the right way to stop reintroducing mass swirls. Personally, two buckets method, with grit guards, using a wash mitt (never sponges), working in lines not rotations. Pat dry with a drying towel.

I've used, over the counter and had really good results Autoglym extra gloss protection, and can be topped off with autoglym aqua wax once a month to provide extra protection.
At the moment I'm using Sonax NPT which last 6-8 months, topped with Sonax BSD once a month. Amazing water shedding properties, and seems to keep my car (white) cleaner for longer.

Stupid comment and you couldn't be more wrong, not the first time I bet eh! I buy it online, I don't sell it. The OP asked if it was worth it, I think it is but he can get it much much cheaper online.

He asked if it was worth the price the dealer was offering it for. It isn't. Simple question. Simple answer. Why get shirty?!

I bought my wife a new car last weekend. The dealer offered me £400 worth if Diamondbrite or £200 of accessories. I took the accessories.

A £20 pot of Vic Concours will do a far better job. But you know that right?!

If Diamondbrite is applied properly Vic Concours won't do a far better job.
Trust me.
