If it comes as mine did with no instructions then apply on a small sponge if poss , a little goes a long way & wait until completely dried before removing & you should be happy :thumbsup:
I read all 25 pages on a post on DWorld & at one point the pro guys are discussing how they can achieve a look with max half hour that clients would expect to take 2 days :o
I like it & if you don't then use it up on your house windows / mirrors / bathroom tiles , amazing finish with little effort :P
Cheers for that......will report back when I've used. :thumbsup:

Do you have a link, Andy? I, like you, like to read through the DW test panel thoughts before buying yet another product!!

Another recommended detailing product added to my growing collection, really need to stop buying as running out of shelf space.
Sounds good though and mine should arrive in a day or two.

Topaz arrived today. Washed the car and applied as Andy suggested.
It really does come off easily with a Microfibre once dry. Really does only need a little as it covers such a big area with just a small amount.
Certainly leaves a nice wet glossy finish even on my car that really needs a paint correction.
Can see myself buying more of this when finished.
I'd been following this on Detailingworld but didn't follow up on it as I had just bought some Reload which I wasn't too impressed with.
This stuff is in a different league and thanks again Andy for the heads up. :thumbsup:

Nice work Jimbo , looks good :) the secret to getting this stuff on easy & removing even easier is make sure paint is totally 100% dry & wait until the wax has dried fully before removing :thumbsup:

If you turned up with a freshly washed & dried car by the time you had ordered the coffees the wax would be on , by the time we had drunk them the wax would be dried & by the time you'd taken the cups back i'd have buffed it off :P

What was the problem with Reload, Jimbo? I'm a massive fan, having moved on from C2V3. Have you tried Hydr02/Lite?

Having seen lots of recommendations for Reload especially on white cars, I was very underwhelmed after using it.
The finish didn't impress me at all and after the next wash I was getting smears all over the car. It was almost as if the Reload was washing away.
Must admit I only used it the once and had intended to try it again on my daughters car but never got around to it.
Topaz on the other hand beats it into the ground. Go's on easy,comes off easy,doesnt leave white marks on rubbers etc and the finish is easily the best I've had on the car.
Not tried Hydr02/Lite and can't see me trying anything else whilst I have some Topaz left. :D

Cheers. After doing the roof and bonnet, I then went around and applied to the rest of the car before buffing off with a microfibre and this was on a very sunny day. Left to dry and as you say and it was effortless to buff off.
On a non white car it would be even easier as most waxes/sealants are a PITA to see on the white. :thumbsup:

Has anyone yet tried applying Topaz in the sunshine such as we have been experiencing today?

Some polishes can me a nightmare to buff in the sunshine.

It was in direct sunshine when I did mine yesterday and it buffed off a treat.
