Just had two dropped off

Just had two dropped off

three bottles on their way. I can slap it on any valets I do or when the family inevitably come round for a 'quick car wash'.

Cheers for the heads up on that deal!

 

[imprezaworks]

No worries. There's a bargain thread on DW and someone linked it this morning. I expect they sell out quickly.

 

[riz]

Its impenetrable.
I used neat Autofoam and GT Decon and it didn't touch it.

this stuff is fantastic.

I bought some once when it was equally as cheap and I honestly couldnt kill the stuff. Alkaline after alkaline wash and it just laughed at me. Ill be buying 3 bottles.

 

[Gally]

It is spay on wet off or qd style?

Spray on, wet off.

 

[imprezaworks]

Always used it on a dry car.

 

[leeds2592]

Mr Out of Breath seems to rate it quite highly. Might grab a bottle or two next week as there's no stock in all my local ecp's but can order it to collect tmorrow/next week apparently.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol at Mr out of breath.

 

[JamesBryan]

Can't argue with that for £4

Looks like i'll have to get some.

 

[imprezaworks]

£2.68 iirc

Ahh yeah it is.

Ah sorry I thought it was the blue one. Yes this stuff is really good.

I've gone off "out of breath" now a little. Doesn't seem impartial anymore.

I’ve just bought 4 of these so hope it’s good.

Collect from ECP tomorrow.

 

[imprezaworks]

It is good, like mentioned tough too.

you wont be disappointed. Its similar to C2V3 which, IIRC, youre a fan of.

You also dont need a huge amount as I found out. When I first used it I fired nearly a whole bottle onto the car. It didnt streak but good lordy I couldnt remove it. Had to polish it off eventually

 

[imprezaworks]

A whole bottle, how?!?

 

[Sidnancy]

A whole bottle, how?!?

emphasis on the 'nearly' bit.

I mean, I had about 1/5th of a bottle left. I honestly dont even know. This was right after I bought my 140. I had been outside for 4 days polishing it with a woefully inadequate polishing pad (when I should have been using a heavy cut pad) and was probably suffering from heat stroke. I just kept firing it onto the panels and buffing.

Still, lasted ages

 

[imprezaworks]

I bet the rain was like, 'nah why bother on his car'. Ha ha.

honestly, I could have someone try and run into me and the stuff would have just bounced them off

Yeah, I think I'm a convert.
CanCoat is still awesome on my wife's car.

I've just run out of car meecro fiyber cloths (Costco big pack)

And need a s**t ton more. Some that won't break the bank but also won't leave swirly bois down my sexy paintwork.

What would people suggest? Maybe a pack of 24 or so would do me for another year.

I use these micronicfibreistics on my paint. They’re as soft as something very soft

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B092DHVM7Z/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Then just get some cheapos for the interior.

 

[Cookson]

anyone got a link to the turtlewax stuff, I can't find it on EPC

 

[imprezaworks]

Sold out very quickly I think. I called mine and they said 5 days and gone to £7 ish. Tbf at that its a bargain as its very good.

@riz

Hows the da8

 

[riz]

Still in the box!!! Haven't had time to Decon the car. Been detailing my lawn!

Ordered some yesterday, arrived today. They feel like decent quality

I saw your post, thought ahhh, that’s a good enough recommendation for me… went to the shop and bought some today.
Except I didn’t buy that one, I bought a blue one, seemingly their cheaper nastier one. Ffs. My paints horrible now!

 

[Adamm.]

If it's the blue one I have yeah I'm not a fan got some ages ago and don't dare use it after my first experience. Had to was the car again to get the smears off. It's been assigned to shower glass duties now.

DI Vessell chaps -

Ive got a dinky (5L?) Vessell atm and ive had a nightmare with it. After hours of pissing about, ive realised that the resin I got I left unsealed for too long so thats 20L (after the first refill) of wasted resin. Bummer.

Looking at just cutting my loses and getting some new resin. £35 gets me enough for my filter size.

Alternatively, My Car Cleaning sell a 11L Vessell full up for £85.

Worth just getting a bigger one filled??

Got some bits from In2Detailing for the first time, super quick delivery so very impressed.

Got a few Korean cloths as well, needed to get the stuff to coat the BBS for the E92

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah in2detailing are really good and have a good range of products plus if I'm near free delivery just wack a few of these on as they're hands down my favourite out of all the ones I've tried.

This is a premium, heavy weight 600gsm towel, which is ultra plush, super soft and extremely absorbent. All of this make the towel ideal for both buffing off soft waxes and polishes as well as for use with a quick detailers. What really makes this towel stand out against the competition is it’s...

Also got some of that tar X and bilt hamber clay as thanks to some genius road workers near me they put some sort of seal down and it's put specks all over the front end. Planning to hit that tomorrow depending if it rains badly or not. Once that's sorted I can try out this car pro essence.

Yes, get a 11L. You should get roughly a years use (water hardness and frequency dependent).

Raceglaze DI’s are very highly regarded.

I love mine.

Dlux is pretty easy to use, gonna stick another coat on them in the morning before tyres go on in the afternoon

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I’ve always been a massive C2v3 fanboy but…

This stuff is really really decent

The gloss it’s left on the Beemer is amazing! And it smells bloody lovely too!

@Daniel did you manage to get a bottle? If not I’ll send one of the three I managed to get hold of.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah it's very good
