Cleaning tyres with brake cleaner then applying paragon for 10 mins then spidergrip yellow for 10 mins. Heating with tyre warmers at 60 degrees using kitchen roll around them.

Why Paragon, then Spider and not the other way around?
Does double additive work on your track for others? My experience with it is that it is definitely track surface dependant.

A lot of people suggested it, I was just using the nosram asphalt additive. I race mainly at Cotswold and mendip.
This is why I'm asking I thought I would see what people are using or could suggest something different.

If you want to do both, try the Paragon last, just 5mins from the end.

I've never tried double additive at either of those venues and haven't tried Spider Yellow at Mendip.
Used the Spider yellow on it's own at Cotswold though and felt really good.

Have run Spider Orange at Mendip to good effect, but it was when the track temps were a little cooler.
