Carlack and Dodo Juice combination
I continue to experiment with different car cleaning products, to find that magical combination. I previously used Meguiars #21 sealant topped with Meguiars #16 paste wax. I got very good results from that.
However, I have just got a finish that has a lot more depth to it. I used Carlack Nano Systematic Care topped with a Layer of Carlack Long Life Sealant. Over that I applied two coats of Dodo Juice 'Banana Armour' wax. Her is the result

Looking good Ray,
But to test your combination out i really think you should try it on a dark coloured car............. Say a midnight blue R75 |

Just spotted a mark on your bonnet and then realised it's a dead pixel on my monitor !
I am still using Poorboys Nattys Blue on my Black 75 which gives good results and i am happy with it but must admit yours looks in showroom condition - is it all by hand or do you use a polisher ?

I get much the same effect with an old sponge in a bucket of water and fairy liquid every other month.

I have done it by hand. The products used have done a good job of hiding the swirl marks that are on the car. I did consider a polisher, but I have decided to have it professionally polished - if I did it myself, I would probably remove the paint in a few months

I agree you can't go wrong with the DoDo. I have tried several waxes, but Dodo Juice Banana Armour has been the best so far. Easy to apply and buff, leaving a really nice deep shine.

Mr. Bitsy, how did you find the Carlack on its own before the wax? Specifically, in terms if swirl disguising.
Although vaguely obsessive, I'm not sure I could find the time for the 'sweet spot' you've found with the 3 coats of wax over the 'twins' (I read the cleanyourcar forum too ), but I've invested in the SC and LLS and will most likely leave it at a couple of coats of LLS rather than waxing over the top. Just wondering what to look forward to, hopefully this weekend.
