How bad are clay mitts for marring?
I want to clay all 3 cars but I cba being mega methodical with a clay bar or machining them afterwards. I'm not too precious about the paint but still don't want them to look like they've been washed with a brick when the sun hits them.
Posted this on another thread. Think the photo is from before I put the LED's behind the clear plastic diffuser so they're a lot more noticeable on this photo than they are now
Yeh, I put an LED strip in mine. Cost me all of about £6 to do. Put it behind the clear plastic diffuser and it looks pretty OEM. I'll try find a photo now.
I’ve got a Piper on mine. Was bought and fitted by the previous owner, so wasn’t my choice but I think it sounds mega.
It is loud, even more so with the decat.
Here’s a crap video I sent @Louis last year when I refitted my decat.
I use these micronicfibreistics on my paint. They’re as soft as something very soft

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.
I got 2 of these a few weeks ago and they're brilliant. I'm sure they're all the same/very similar no matter where you get them from but would definitely recommend

Yeh man, I really like them.
I’ve been using 2 AF aqua deluxe towels for a while now and they’d gone to s**t and stopped being as absorbent as they were when they were new.
Only used one of the new ones and it dried my e92 no bother and no streaks. Well happy with them.
3 things
1. I got 2 of these towels and they’re bloody brilliant - https://detailedonline.co.uk/collections/cloths-towels/products/dual-sided-twisted-loop-drying-towel-1400gsm
2. @Hxrry’s rinse aid makes drying the car even easier, great product
3. Swapped the end on my snow foam cannon from...
I've got a DI Vessel and like @Sunglasses_Ron just use it at the end usually as a final rinse. Need to replace my resin though as the ppm has gone up to about 40 as apposed to 0.
Our water is mega hard, over 300ppm prior going through the vessel. I'd recommend them to anyone!
I usually just clean with the wheel cleaner but, as @imprezaworks has said, the tyre shine doesn't seem to last as long, so thought i'd give a proper tyre cleaner a go and pretend I'm a real detailer.
Thanks for the suggestions, I need a drying towel or two so think I may try the Rebound and...
