			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since my Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) which is a medium cut at 3.5 out of 5 on Menzerna&#8217;s scale i tend to use this the most and is now getting fairly low. I dont mind paying £20 for Menz polishes since they have always performed for me but after i saw some prices on Autobrights website i thought i best give one of there polishes a try.<br />
The only gripe i have with Autobright is the website, and its mainly in the polish section theres 4 pages worth each displaying 6 products. ok so you say well thats not a bad thing. but i&#8217;m instaly faced with a mountain of car polishes to choose from I.E: Extreme Cut Q, Power Cut Q, Ultra Buff Q, Clear Coat  Polish Q, Foam Pad Polish and Lite Finish Q.<br />
Ok so we can work out that Lite Finish will have little cut but high gloss, but whats the difference between Extreme and power, Its way to easy to spend 30 minutes reading through descriptions and changing your mind.<br />
I had a few samples from Autobright before so gave them a ring and spoke to Geoff and after a few minutes he recomended Buff Out Q 946ml in a bottle so just under 1 litre but whos measuring and at £8.95 whos going to complain.<br />
Ok so i got my order next day which was my only option as i ordered it on a thursday and needed it for a saturday job.<br />
I was using Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad on my G220 DA polisher. I found if you used to much Buff Out that it did create a bit of dust but nothing like Auto Glym Super Resin Polish creates.<br />
It was easy to tell when it was time to buff the Buff Out off the bodywork as it hazed off very nicely if you applied the product thinly i found any dust was minimal.<br />
The work time was about right for Buff Out, i could spread the product on a low speed the do a few passes on a medium speed building up to a high speed and then back to a medium speed.<br />
In all honestly i was massivly impressed with how Buff Out performed at swirl mark removal.</p>

<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.autoshineuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/auto-bright-buff-out.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-478" title="Auto Bright Buff Out" src="http://www.autoshineuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/auto-bright-buff-out-300x225.jpg" alt="Auto Bright Buff Out" width="300" height="225" /></a></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Auto Bright Buff Out</dd>
</dl>
<p>I would say the cut is probably about the same Menzerna Intensive Polish (PO85RD 3.02) and the gloss effect i would say again on par with Menzerna.<br />
Since the Autobright products are at a lower price than other high class car polishes such as Menzerna and Meguiar&#8217;s,</p></div>
<p>I could easily be converted to use there products more often, i would just like to see how it performs on a few other cars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following up from yesterdays Autobright <a title="autobright post" href="http://www.autoshineuk.co.uk/autobright/" target="_blank">post</a>.<br />
Today I managed to apply all the samples to different areas of my bonnet.</p>
<div id="attachment_268" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.autoshineuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/autobright_test.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-268 " title="Autobright Polish &amp; Wax Test" src="http://www.autoshineuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/autobright_test-300x177.jpg" alt="Autobright Test" width="300" height="177" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Autobright Polish &amp; Wax Test</p></div>
<p>The Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on my bonnet now for about for about 2 months now and is still looking very glossy and still has a lot of depth to it.<br />
As you can see I separated my bonnet into four separate areas. I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze with a microfibre towel, it was easy to apply to my bonnet but it did haze off quite quickly.</p>
<p>I then moved on to applying Very Cherry – Premium Carnauba Wax. I did find this slightly easier to get out of the bottle than the Purple Haze High Gloss, it also seems to have a better work time.</p>
<p>The EZ Carnauba was the best product to apply as it freely came out of the bottle on to my the microfibre cloth, and it worked very well and soon covered my test area with little product needed.</p>
<p>Ok so the buffing and removal of products since I applied the Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze first I thought I’d remove it first, umm maybe a wipe on wipe off product I found it quite stubborn to remove.<br />
Both Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba where very easy to buff off, you could almost just wipe the microfibre over the area and the product came off.</p>
<p>I applied all the products twice and tried a wipe on wipe off approach with Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze but I still found it hard to buff off</p>
<p><strong>Overall View<br />
</strong>Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba had both left there test areas very smooth  and glass like to touch where as Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze was still smooth but no where near Very Cherry and EZ Carnauba.<br />
Only time will tell how well these products will stand up to the weather and aging.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
<p>26/11/08</p>
<p>Ok there was quite a bit of rain last night so I thought it was ideal to have a look at my Autobright test on my bonnet.<br />
All the Autobright products have now been on for just short of a week. Whereas the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 has been on now for about 2 months.</p>
<p>Beading wise there’s not a lot of difference between any of the 3 products from Autobright.  When I was stood at the side of the bonnet I could see that the area that had been treated with Very Cherry Wax was a slightly different shade of blue.<br />
I would guess this is going to be down to it stripping the jetseal off and with it been a polish it has polished and cleansed the surface too.</p>
<p>Very Cherry Wax has very tight beading with no run off where as the Purple Haze had good beading but it was nowhere near as tight as Very Cherry Wax.<br />
EZ Carnauba was pretty much if not a little better than Very Cherry Wax in the beading contest.<br />
Jetseal is still holding its own 2 months on and beading tightly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was recently sent some sample products this week after I contacted Autobright. When I had been trawling through some forum posts over at<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #810081;"> <a title="cleanyourcar.co.uk" href="http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/forum/" target="_blank">cleanyourcar.co.uk</a></span></span></p>
<p>I noticed that autobright was getting a lot of products reviewed, and I was astonished by some of the results that where achieved.<br />
I was really impressed by there Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze.<br />
So to cut a long story short I managed to get a few samples from them and whats even better is that they arrived next day. With a letter explaining a little bit more about each product.<br />
If you want to check out there products pop over to <a title="autobright.uk.com" href="http://www.autobright.uk.com/" target="_blank">autobright.uk.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Purple Haze High Gloss Hand Glaze</strong></p>
<p>Firstly it smells of blueberrys ok its not in the league of sonus polishes where you be happy to taste it as it smells that good but its still better than pure chemicals and it makes a product that bit more appealing if your working with it for hours.<br />
Purple Haze is quite runny so I’m hoping that you’ll get a good work time out of it and wont need a lot.</p>
<p><strong>Heres what Autobright said</strong></p>
<p>An easy to use non silicon finishing step that will enhance the gloss  of newly painted and buffed surfaces. Produces a mirror-like, show room finish. Dries dust free. Will not streak, swirl or smear. Leaves a non oily brilliant sheen Pleasant fragrance.<br />
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
Apply a thin uniform film to a soft cloth or wax applicator. Allow to haze, wipe off with a soft cloth. Use product sparingly for best results</p>
<p>I have spoke to autobright about applying via machine and they advise not to and are working on a machine version</p>
<p><strong>EZ Carnauba – Easy to use liquid wax</strong></p>
<p>Well it smells slightly of bananas and is very runny. Out of my sample bottle I think you could squeeze a small car possibly maybe Vauxhall Corsa or Ford.<br />
I am only basing this on how much of the Dodo Juice Need For Speed I have used recently on a Ford Focus.</p>
<p><strong>Heres what Autobright said</strong></p>
<p>Easily applied liquefied paste wax formulated with premium grade carnauba wax. Creates a deep, long lasting gloss. Easy and dries fast, cuts down on time and labour.<br />
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
Products seperates. Shake well before use and during use. Spray or hand apply a thin coating on new or pre cleaned finishes. Allow EZ Carnauba to dry to a haze then remove with a clean soft cloth or orbital polisher.<br />
<strong><br />
Very Cherry – Premium Carnauba Wax</strong></p>
<p>Yes it smells of Cherrys. Its very polish like in look and texture. Its really thick and would appear to have a light to medium cut to it to remove light oxerdisation. After reading what autobright say it reminds me of Auto Gylms Super Resin Polish</p>
<p><strong>Heres what Autobright said</strong></p>
<p>Leaves a showroom finish on new or used paint. Restores colour and gloss to lightly oxidised finishes, as well as pre cleaned surfaces. Eliminates streaks and haze. Contains premium grade carnauba wax and detergent resistant polymers for a wet look shine.<br />
<strong>Directions</strong><br />
Shake well.<br />
<strong>Hand use</strong> – spread with polish sponge using circular motion. Let dry completely. Buff to a shine with polishing cloth, soft clean towel or orbital polisher.<br />
<strong>Orbital use</strong> – Apply to bonnet. With orbital on, spread evenly over entire surface. Let dry completely . With a cleanbonnet, buff to a high gloss.<br />
<strong>High Speed Buffer</strong> – Use a clear coat polishing pad or foam pad. Buff while wet using medium to high presuure. Gradually reduce pressure as polish disappears. Burnish to high glosh finish</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dodo Juice Need For Speed (Cleaner Wax)</p>
<p>If you shop around you’ll see Dodo Juice Need For Speed comes in two different sizes.<br />
250ml £9.95</p>
<p>500ml £18.95</p>
<p>This was my first hurdle as with any product, will the small bottle be enough to finish one car, as I hate been left with a big bottle of a product I don’t like, as it then gets left on the back of the shelf.<br />
I took a gamble on the small 250ml Bottle of Need For Speed when it arrived I was instantly having second thoughts as the product was quite runny, but it smelt so nice a orange/apple smell. I did think at worst I would use the entire bottle on one car.<br />
I was applying the Dodo Juice Need For Speed using my Meguiar’s G220, I decided to use a spot pad as I thought it would hold less of the product inside the pad.<br />
I found working in small areas better as the workability time of Need For Speed was then greatly improved over working in a slightly larger area where the solvents get a chance to evaporate quicker.<br />
Need For Speed is pretty much like Dodo Juice Lime Prime in formulation but leaves behind a wax residue hence it been a all in one product. <br />
Dodo Juice Need For Speed leaves a great slick finish on paintwork I would guess the wax might not hold up that long so layering it off with a slightly better last stage protection would be advisable, some carnauba wax like Collinite 476 would aid the life span of Need For Speed.<br />
Need For Speed is great to use if your doing a job for a friend and aiming to give the car a quick once over and don’t have a lot of time but still want to polish and wax.<br />
There are no optical fillers on Dodo Juice Need For Speed but of course the wax will mask some but this isn’t what this product is used for.<br />
I’ll definitely be using Dodo Juice Need For Speed again and will be interested to use other Dodo Juice product such as there soft waxes.<br />
As you can see from the picture i didnt use much, and still i applied one full coat to a Ford Focus, so you could easily apply Need For Speed to six cars from a 250ML bottle.</p>
<p>The Dodo Site is really an experience in its self so head over to <a title="Dodojuice.com" href="http://www.dodojuice.com/" target="_blank">DodoJuice.com</a></p>
