Hi All, I have bought my first freelander. Love it. Can anyone tell me best wax to use on it bearing in mind it is only two months old.

Cheers Del Del

I use dodo juice supernatraul and/or collinite 476s when waxing my cars

the collys is cheap and a couple of coats should last ages, iirc Rover60 also took that advice and says he likes it

of course Zymol Royale is said to be good too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

dodo juice Diamond White is designed for white/light cars too,

Blimey he's on a roll!

I use normal hard wax a couple or three times a year.
basically as long as the paintwork is sound you can't wax it too much.

It's just a pain in the to do but personally, I love spending a few hour cleaning, waxing, polishing me motor.
Yes I know it will be mingin in a few days but I like doing it .

Just ask my missus how easy it is to get me to hoover/dust/clean bathrooms.......

i may have done a little research

but forgot to mention the Werksat Kit

I know this is am old thread, you can tell by the very old Freelander pictured

I was pretty impressed a couple of weeks ago when I ran my hand along "Toeknees" wing, it was very smooth and very shiny. So, I thought i would do a little research and look into this wax this gloss that glaze mallarkey and see if anything was really any good.

I spent £17 on a bottle of Werkstat Acrylic Jett, a staggering £154 per gallon to put it into perspective.

Washed the car thoroughly, dried it off via a trip round the M62 got home and set to work.

It says use sparingly, so I did, very sparingly, very easy simply wipe on and ensure panel is covered evenly, allow 10 mins or so to dry and buff off........... hell....the shine

I am absolutely in awe of this stuff, if anyone has a new car then get a bottle it is sooo easy and looks stunning, even on my Silver car, hopefully will get some pics tomorrow.

I've never heard it called a 'wing' before

More like he as rubbed it that much there is hardly any paint left on it, whilst thinking if I keep rubbing it this hearse it will lighten and become grey.

Taz the bug may have bitten, you know its serious when you start to spend the same time wsshing the arches as you do the rest of the car

So, if I bought some how and when do you apply it?
Does it take the place of a wax polish or do you wash, then wax polish, then apply this stuff?

Not that I'm interested mind you, I just thought others may want to learn from it.
