Treatment for new car Lifeshine or Carnuba?

[ioweddie]

Having just got the new brilliant blue c class, after the dealers pdi. The dealer offered lifeshine £299 I declined.
Is it worth doing lifeshine with a kit I bought on ebay (£13.95) on the paintwork straight away or do I need to do any prep work other than ensuring its clean and dust free. Or should I just continue with the Harley (Carnuba)

I only ever used Harley Wax (Carnuba) on my previous black sport plus. No Lifeshine and it was very shiny with now swirls.

Thanks

Why not PM Bluemoon (is it?) who is a detailer on your island? I read several bits about the Lifeshine a while back and did not feel inclined to buy or recommend it. There is no such thing as permanent shine; you can lengthen it by using G-Techniq or other good quality products but they are not lifetime…personally, I am now using Autosmart Topaz which is uber-easy to apply and gives superb results, evidenced by how easy it is easy to clean the car the next time…nothing sticks to it for long!
