Fusso or soft 99 dark would work.

Also really rate cloak by Mitchell and king

Can you really recommend Fusso to someone with it's iffy application, grabby etc. It's a good wax but I reckon there would be another 10 that I could recommed straight off the bat before Fusso ones.

 

[Gally]

You can't go much wrong at that price range.

If you want something that he might enjoy over the summer aswell to use... Zymol Carbon, prestige feel, lovely looking wax. Great Carnauba content.

Zymol Carbon Wax

Zymol Carbon Wax This wax is superb for all paint types and works best on medium to darker paints. For lighter paints we recommend Zymol Creame wax. As with all Zymol Car Waxes, Zymol Carbon wax is actually a 'zyme' that turns into a wax and bonds to your paint when exposed to air dur

@Rich treen and @Christopher always loved it also.

I found it really easy, even on my black golf

I used it. Its bloody hard to remove but it is bulletproof

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Fusso sounds similar, application wise, to the Infinity Wax Synergy Wax I have. Utter b**ch to use but lasts forever and looks good. Acts like a ceramic too in regards to water.

Only issue is, it stinks to high heaven

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm sure mine is soft 99 black?!?

 

[imprezaworks]

Black cars suck ass.

Better now

Worth getting a cone polisher attachment for drill anyone used one?

Cone polisher for a drill is just what you need, on ebay/amazon there are packs which have 3 cones with different softness cones.

You used one? What polish?

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Snapped up a new product to me on Detailingworld.

SiRamik Lustrous Graphine Spray Sealant.

Reports on there are bonkers. Spray, level with a damp mf towel, buff and then 12+ months of insane beading.

Really excited to give it a go on the BM. I dont get time to do my own car often now as im too busy doing others so the idea of an easy, long lasting product sounds appealing

 

[imprezaworks]

Saw that, decent for the monies.

I'm done with the beemer, no more cleaning and think I've sold it. Wheels need a refurb but the rest of the car for 130k is bang on.

 

[Jamess182]

how often do people need to restore their headlights? Did mine this morning for the first time and wondering if it'll need to be a regular thing, every few months or so?

Put CarPro Dlux or similar on them and it’ll last a year or more.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Managed to take advantage of the dry weather today to give the car a good wash.

Bought a bottle of SiRAMIC lustrous graphene spray this week. So far have to say this stuff is mega! It’s certainly not cheap but the ease of application is phenomenal.

The gloss is amazing.

I dare say it will piss down later so should see what the water behaviour is like.

 

[imprezaworks]

Love that .

Need to try some of that spray stuff

 

[Matt e]

The range has these, exact the same as the chemical guys cyclone dirt trap but these are only £2.99. fits the meguiar's bucket perfect

 

[imprezaworks]

Range. Will break lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

After an round decent compound that can be used with different paint, you know the holy grail lol.

So far my quick look choices with seemingly great reviews

Menz FG400
Sonax Cut Max

 

[botfch]

Ammo NYC guys wash technique of multiple micro fibre cloths is what I’ve been using for a while means you never get dirt in the bucket.

 

[imprezaworks]

I read that twice thinking there was a hidden name of a compound lol.

My mate swears by Angel Wax resurrect on a DA with a microfibre pad. Does it for a living and said there isn’t a better all rounder. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s what I’m going to try once I’m done with the Menz I had off you.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with what I use, but always keen to try stuff)!

 

[imprezaworks]

Think the stuff off me was the 2500 med cut polish and 3800/3500 finishing.

The Koch h9 as a comparison blows them away but then it's designed to.

The more I mooch, fg400 seems to be a decent choice

 

[JamesBryan]

Best all-rounder on DA is yellow Rupes foam (or the new yellow wool if harder paint) and Sonax Perfect Finish.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not imo for removing tougher scratches.

That Sonax Cut Max you mentioned is meant to be good.

Will have a look into the angelwax stuff that Daniel mentioned

Can't beat it these days for a one stager!

I'll be using it again next weekend. F10 M5 to do.

Ran out of snow foam and bought some AutoGlym Polar Blast and have to say that its the thickest and one of the best I have used so far.

 

[imprezaworks]

Sadly not very good at removing dirt. I find it okay as a maintenance if the car isn't too dirty etc

I was going to say the same. Bilthamber Touchless is my go to now. Doesn’t give majorly thick foam but the dirt removal is epic.

 

[imprezaworks]

Autofoam for half decent crud.
Jennychem caustic for unloved

 

[MarcB]

Car was clean and it was to remove some light dust with it sitting out, It was more of a snow foam and rise.

Still looking to get a good snow foam, I have heard about Bilthamber but never used it.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I've got some of that polar blast and it didn't foam up like that, although I've just got the standard bottle on my Nilfisk.

 

[imprezaworks]

Get a decent lance and pop 200ml of product in lol. Will foam then

Bilt hamber is very good. If you wanted a decent pre wash the power maxed tfr is great.

 

[davo172]

Auto finnesse citrus power is also decent

Any recommendations that will fit the Nilfisk? Are they all standard fitments?

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Steam Cleaners?

Anyone use them? Any good?
