PERFECT SYNERGY WITH INFINITY
Aug 5th
Synergy Vitality from Infinity Wax is a solvent-based Si02 sealant that has good longevity and manages to resist shampoo and snow foam.
You apply it one panel at a time via the atomiser spray – applying directly to the panel or using a microfiber cloth.
Give it three minutes to ‘cure’ before buffing off with a short-pile microfibre cloth.
Infinity Wax recommends that you avoid moisture for up to 12 hours following application and what’s even better a 250ml spray bottle costs just £29.99, which is a small price to pay for such a high-quality product.

WHAT A BLAST
Aug 5th
Allard Engineering has just announced a brand-new Vapour Blasting (aka wet abrasive) machine. These are a highly effective and less aggressive pre-treatment process prior to adding a protective finish such as powdercoat.
They can also be used as a gentle cleaner where a painted finish is not required.
The vapour blasting process reduces the amount of dust generated and is reckoned to be safer than a dry blasting method and reduces the risk of sand or dust inhalation.
Allard’s J1000 Wet Blaster is small in size, has a single-phase 240volt connection (three-phase is available, however) features a heavy-duty construction and uses recyclable blast More >
