Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

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.

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!
 
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
 
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!

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.
 
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!

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

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.
 
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.
 
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.

Was also mentioned in my thread. HDD road rage is spot on btw but sells out fast.

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?
