When it came up on DW last night all threads were being locked before any details were posted so didn't know the whole story. Sounds like such a classy guy

Find a local petrol station with a DIY pressure washer. Take a pre wash product, wheel cleaner and QD spray with you. Apply the pre wash to all panels, followed by the wheel cleaner leaving them to dwell a few minutes. The pressure washers are typically more powerful than your own at home so...

It is a shame to see a lovely car not cared for as best as it could be, but if they're happy with a clean car then so be it. Some don't see swirls and marring as damage to the paint. It's their choice. I spent some time correcting my golf this summer, a few panels at a time to fit in around...

It's very easy to inflict that damage with a clay mitt. Have done it on hard VW paint after several hits with tar and iron removers. And I only use a fine clay mitt, snow foamed the car then using a clay lube on each panel as well

I had a policeman comment yesterday that the rear number plate wouldn't be recognised on the ANPR and to do something about it. It typically gets washed every 2 weeks and granted isn't normally quite this bad but you can easily see the film that coats my car that kills most water behaviour...

A while back, I questioned how dirty people thought their cars were as they posted pictures of hydr02 I think after 3 to 4 weeks. This is a quick photo after 10 days of typical use for me. Car is gloss black wearing sonax Polymer net shield topped up with either reload or BSD

Look through some of the old threads from Russ ZS

It is in a sense. But it does it by added it's own protection. Using it on a completely bare panel it will still give the same performance.

Bathe + will over ride the water behaviour of wetcoat, and although pretty decent for a shampoo the water behaviour isn't a touch on wet coat so I wouldn't recommend using it too often unless wetcoat is starting to drop off a little

Seen a few times at colchester institute, sheepen road going in and out of the college Silver 182, no cup spoiler or suspension packs, bonnet bra and sounds like an aftermarket exhaust

Gyeon tire is a favourite and lasts very well, but does require a good clean and dry tyre for it to work well. Nice finish also I've only used the bathe+ and didn't find it all that slick on general maintenance washes, but we are in a pretty hard water area so might require a stronger dilution...

Not used any of them, but I'm intrigued by the cleaning power of a TFR that claims to not significantly effect LSP's, I can't say no to a QD and was in need of a general wheel cleaner so thought I'd see if it's actually decent or just another new craze getting hyped up

Hoping to do a little side by side against AF Tripple on a swirly oxidised family car if they ret me have it for a few hours

Nope, and still haven't received it yet, UPS are predicting tomorrow

Power Maxed TFR, QD, frequent use wheel cleaner and white grease

I like the thicker fallout removers like iron out for wheels, but for bodywork there is no denying IronX is still king of the hill

Snow foam, rinse, snow foam, wash two bucket method, the extra suds of the snow foam helps with the washing

If you're washing a pretty dirty car even after your normal pre wash, go over it again with snow foam then wash as normal. Makes a right mess but helps the wash

Demon machine rapid dirt shifter, rinse car, spray liberally with this. Leave to dwell then pressure rinse off works very well http://www.halfords.com/motoring/cleaning-products/shampoo/demon-machine-rapid-dirt-shifter-1l

Generally worked 3 or 4 panels at a time, I found it cure quite quick in warmish temps. If not too high I have done half a car/ all of one side before removing

All I'd say is apply it as thin as possibly and don't leave it to cure too long

I had Helios and genesis samples. Nice enough to use in application and removal. But performance wasn't anything great, durability was average at best. Vics concours was very very similar to one of them in lots of ways. Not tried any of the non wax products

Priced a little below desire, it's one of the longest lasting waxes I've used
