  1. will ask the valeter at work for you tomorrow but Im sure its put the stage 1 on first with a lint free cloth leave for 15 to 20 mins till it drys to a haze then go over the top of that with stage 2 leave again for same time clean it off after that with another clean cloth job done showroom finish will never need doing again,will check tomorrow and let you know if this is correct way got this off the net but will still check for you dave,the valeter did the wifes car today and I was well impressed with it I got some instructions from a Car Valeter who supplies Diamondbrite. His tip was to get a car sponge and cut it in half. Use this to apply the Diamondbrite. Here are his full instructions (Good job my typing speed is OK). Hope this helps. 1) Ensure car is clean and dry. The car does not need to be polished prior to application of diamondbrite. If the paoint work is slightly scratched or oxideised then diamondbrite cut back (or similiar cuttling compound) should be applied in the first instance. This is available either separately in the form of a 5 litre or 250 ml container or as part of the Diamonbrite used car kit DB 06. 2) Apply diamondbrite pre-glaze (stage 1) sparingly, section by section using a soft clean cloth or fine spray gun. Ensure all exposed metal surfaces are treated including door seals and exposed metal surfaces on the inside of the tail gate / boot lid. 3) Allow to dull until appearance has gone milky. The time this takes depends on humidity but should take no longer than 10 minutes. DO NOT remove the Stage 1 yet. 4) Apply diamondbrite glaze (stage 2) over the dulled pre-glaze (stage 1) section by section using a clean cloth in STRAIGHT LINES (not circular motion). Applying or removing stage 2 in a circular motion will result in swirl marks particularly on dark coloured cars. Do not us a buffing machine. Use only slight pressure. 5) Leave for 10 to 15 minutes and then remove with a soft clean cloth (in straight lines where possible) 6) Diamondbrite stage 1 and 2 can also be applied to chrome and rubber. Tips "I normally use sponges to put on Diamondbrite. Get a jumbo sponge and cut it in half. Use one half to apply stage 1 and the other to apply stage 2. Dont go mad with the stage 1 the more you put on the harder it is to remove. I would not use a spray bottle I tried this and it makes the job hard and it uses more stage 1. You wont use all of the stage 1 and stage 2. I normally get a few cars out of them." all done even done the black
