I've seen both the Colorcote 2000 and Auri demonstrated
on the TV. Both products seemed impressive to say the
least.
I'll be purchasing in the next couple of weeks.

| 1905.2 | Not told by another salesman! ;-) | RUTILE::BISHOP | What the HELL are you talking about man! | Mon Oct 05 1992 12:49 | 8 |
| I've heard some nasty rumours that the teflon based ones (Auri i think
is one!) damage your paintwork in the long-run. Not sure how valide
claims they are though... hopefully it'll be a load of ballony... let
us know?
Regards,
Lewis.

| 1905.3 | look in the US CARBUFFS notesfile | BEAVER::MCKEATING | | Wed Oct 07 1992 11:41 | 15 |
| The US notesfile CARBUFFS has a lot of notes on polish including AURI,
see DLOACT::CARBUFFS
personally I prefer Autoglym to Turtle Wax & Liquid Diamond but have not tried
AURI.
You can polish a car from start to finish in 20 Mins as long as it's
relatively clean but I'd like to see it really clean a car that is covered in
tar spots and road grime in 20 Mins!,... But then it all comes down to how clean
is CLEAN?

| If you use Auri on a dry cloth, it removed tar spots no problem.
As for cleaning a really dirty car, all I did was pressure wash
mine, and then use the Arui on a damp cloth. It easily removed
the remaining road dirt.
This is what really surprised me. I was suspecting that I would
need to at least T-cut it before applying the polish, but there
was no need.
I'm not a fanatic for car cleaning ... once a year is more than
enough. I'm hoping that with this polish, a pressure wash once a
month should be all that's needed to keep it looking reasonable.
The other reason for trying this polish is that the weather conditions
here in Annecy in winter is really hard on cars. There is a lot of
snow, the roads are salted etc etc. If this stuff protects the paint
against that, great. Only time will tell ...

| 1905.5 | Colour Polishes. (moved from 2104 by mod cbh) | SUBURB::BENNETTW | | Fri Jun 18 1993 11:53 | 18 |
| I can't find any topics relating to this, if there are, can somebody
point me to it!
Has anyone out there used any of the new coloured polishes available.
I know Turtle Wax have a product called Colour Magic and I`ve heard
there are others but haven't seen any around.
Are the products any good?
Which one is best/worst?
Which is best price wise? I have seen Colour Magic for �5.99 (normally
�8.99)
All replies appreciated.
Wayne.

| 1905.6 | Lots of elbow power... But V. Good. | KERNEL::SCHOFIELDL | | Fri Jun 18 1993 15:08 | 11 |
| I have used the COLOUR MAGIC wax on my motorcycle (I know this is the
cars_uk conference but its still paint!! ;*)) and it worked like a
dream hiding several nasty looking scratches in the lacquer on the
tank. A couple of my friends have tried it too and it 'fixed' my pals
faded bonnet and hid scuff marks etc on a black paint job on a Renault.
I have yet to meet with someone who was not satisfied with the
results. It could be the cheepest to at six pounds!
Hope this helps

| 1905.7 | Brill on my car!! | BRUMMY::MOORE | | Fri Jun 18 1993 15:29 | 8 |
| I have used colour magic on a thirteen year old car that has been thru
too many car washes and suffers from blooming on one rear panel.
Ordinary wax did not cover either of these but color magic gave good
results. BTW the car is dark brown.
Cheers
