Ughhh gel... grim.

I'm using Angelwax Enigma Elixir on the tyres. I have been buying cheap foam pads but they're falling apart after 3 months or coming off their backing.

 

[imprezaworks]

The Autoglym stuff is pretty decent TBF.

 

[Gally]

I got one of these to use with the sateen and it's been really good. Hasn't fallen apart like those bloody foam ones!

 

[imprezaworks]

There was a thread on dw about these I think. Trader was selling them and people were stating you can get them cheaper on Ali etc

 

[Gally]

Yeah I think there are lots of reps on these. I didn't pay for mine but it was only about 7 quid.

 

[imprezaworks]

Glass cleaner.

Looking at grabbing Traceless, seems brilliant and excellent value at £30.

Has anyone used

Finally got myself a mk3 Rupes 21 polisher.

Ho-Lee-sheet where have you been all my life??

I can literally polish a whole car in under 2 hours now. What a machine!

 

[imprezaworks]

I've still not used my Vertool 21E. Like you I'm hoping for a speedy shine.

So big. We had a MK1 21 inch. When they came out originally and they felt massive!

What do you use pad and polish on the 21"? @Daniel

Christ Kev, only had it half a day calm doon.

Only used the white pad with some old Menz 2500 as my polishes are coming Friday.

Yellow Rupes pad, blue Rupes pad, yellow polish and blue polish, and a load of Megs Microfibre pads.

Got it all from James at Ti22.

If anyone needs glass cleaner please buy the bilt hamber stuff, it's amazing.

Traceless is smelly stuff, I quite like it lol but some probably won't.

What interior cleaners to people rate?
I’ve just come to the end of my Auto Glym interior shampoo and always happy to try something new.

Suggestions for a decent brush to remove hair from car seats?

I've also got a never-ending battle to seemingly get rid of sand (I've not been to a beach since getting this car 5 years ago!) from the seat backs, so any suggestions on how I can combat that would be great too!

Interesting as I'm looking at something

Has anyone used Stjarnagloss products?

 

[imprezaworks]

Solclens. Seems very popular by the chap (post 4) in this thread.

Owned by dodo juice I think. Based on that will be good.

 

[Gally]

Yeah they reinvented themselves a few years back. Better out there depending on the price. Koch Chem for one.

 

[imprezaworks]

Dodging the rain so managed to finally whizz over with the polisher. My dad nipped over from sunny Wales and had a drive, he's tempted lol

 

[JamesBryan]

Traceless is smelly stuff, I quite like it lol but some probably won't.

They've just updated the formula too.

 

[imprezaworks]

Obviously

No but I like his approach to marketing on social media. Although I bet he's a c**k for anything over 30 seconds.

I've used a fair bit of their stuff along with lots and lots of other brands.

On the whole, it's good enough for a weekend cleaner. There are better products out there as there are cheaper products out there (when on sale).

The thing I like about them is that similar to DFS if the product you want isn't on sale, wait a week and it will be.

I got 10L of their spray on jet wash off sealant (which actually lasts around 12 weeks from my testing) for £30.. wet coat for example would be over £100 for 10L..

Be careful though as some of the products are completely naff.

 

[Matt Cup]

Brilliant, good to know. Was looking at their fallout remover. 5l for £30 didn’t seem too bad, unless there are better alternatives for the price?

Will take a look at the sealant too as I’m running out of the AG stuff.

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't bother buy bilt hamber as it works 💪

HDD Fallout trade version is what I'm getting next

Got any links to some deals?

Also considering their touchless stuff once I’ve run out of the snowfoam I’ve got.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bilt hamber is around £16 a litre, it's dear but works. I've tried cheaper stuff and it's useless, so not good value for money.

Few have mentioned the HDD so that's what I'm trying next. It's the trade version as iirc they do two.

About £35 I think for 5litres.

I'm pretty sure I've tried their (ez) fallout and definitely have tried the tar and glue. I won them cheap on eBay. I ended up binning them


Fallout remover ingredients is expensive hence why the better ones are dear.

I bought some EZ stuff the other week when they had a sale on. The wheel cleaner is non-acidic and works a treat, even when diluted down. The fusion spray sealant seems to be great too. I haven't tried the snow foam yet. I paid £14.99 for 5l of each of those, so that should last a while.

Does the wheel cleaner do a good job of getting rid of baked in brake dust?
