    Id like to buy AB abyss, are there any products I'd need to use with this? Something to remove previous wax?

    Also once it is on, future cleaning cherry glaze?

    And what order do you wash things?

    Rinse
    Presoak(any AB product?)
    Rinse wash
    Dry
    Cherry glaze?
    Wax?

    Thanks

    Clive is the man to ask about this, he knows pretty much everything there is to know about AB products.

      I pretty much use only AB products as I attended a AB training course which Clive teaches. Clive may come along and change or offer an alternative, but here goes with what I know


      Rinse
      Presoak- AB Citrus Wash or Magifoam
      Rinse
      Wash - 2BM with AB Banana Gloss shampoo
      Rinse
      You can use Fall out remover such as AB Purple Rain and AB Just the Tonic to remove tar spots before Claying if you wish.
      I would clay the car before using Cherry Glaze
      Then you can put AB Ultraslik or Abyss on next I think, although I have not put Abyss over Cherry Glaze, but I'm sure somebody on here has as I read it recently
      To keep it topped up you can use AB Project 32 or the Sonax BSD as Andy has been using, and again one of the guys on here put that on top of Abyss

      I hope Clive agrees with his pupils info

          I use the 3 bucket method now.

          1 bucket to wash
          1 bucket to rinse
          1 bucket of coffee.

                    Spot on description Gary (Bluenose!).... you learnt well

                    Oh,Rick, it's Autobrite Direct.... companies of a similar name (but completely different) may be found with the spelling you've used.

                      I have bought the cherry glaze and the ultraslick.

                      Which goes on first? I tried the ultra slick over the cherry on one panel but it following the directions (spay and wipe gently) left massive streaks and had to buff it off...

                        Rick, I presume you did buff off the cherry glaze before adding the Ultraslick ? If not you must remove the CG first.

                        I suspect you used too much Ultraslick - you need very little - I'd expect one bottle to do 50 cars..........and yes it does need wiping and a little effort to buff it up nicely....

                        Regards,
                        Clive.

                          Yes yes, I had buffed off the CG then I squirted maybe 6 patches on the bonnet rubbed lightly and it looked streaky so had to buffed it in with quite a bit if effort...

                            6 patches - that's enough for the whole car. Do one really light spray moving your arm in a quick motion, you want the product as a mist. Then buff. Regards,
                            Clive.
