I dont really rate it as a sealant... beacause FK does so well!
Only really use it because it has some cleaners and seems to really bring out the flake on some wheels.
Lots of lube!!
... and yes you will notice very very minor maring after use. It also strips any existing protection you have on the car, so a polish and protect will be needed after fella.
I sometimes use snowfoam when preping a car for a detail, if not then I spray APC on all the lower panels, leave to dwell for 10min and jet wash off.
Nothing is as fun as using snowfoam though!! :cool:
Dont use that at all mate! It doesn't even have variable speed and would probably do a lot of damage.
Save your money till you can afford to get it done properly or to get yourself all the gear.
As above really...
Cloths, pads, tape, mitts etc etc in a couple of 4 drawer towers.
All other bottles, waxes, brushes on various shelves and hooks in the garage.
... need a bigger garage!
Haha, where you been blondie?
In response to the OP, I'll second what Russ has already said, Sonus pads are nicer to use (esp for a noob) but take a lot longer to get the results. Also Menz polish is IMO a lot better than Sonus.
Megs APC sprayed on and agitated with a brush and microfibres is all you'll need, wipe off with a clean wet microfibre, then dressed with product of your choice.
Here's the result from the above method:
From this:
To this:
Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover? Or Autosmart Tardis which is very good!
Other than that, try a clay bar? Have a search in the detailing section fella, plenty of good information.
As said, Bic razor for the bobbles. I wouldn't be using any sort of shampoo or soaking the the alcantara, just a damp microfibre/shamois leather should do the trick.
To help with the smell, get yourself an A/C bomb or some odour eliminator, along with a nice air freshener.
Probs not the best...
