Yeah a well prepped car certainly stands out...my car hasn't been washed for almost two weeks and still looks the nuts. Even where my dad sprayed water all the up the side when he was cleaning his....:dead: Like Rich says, if you polished your car every time you noticed a hairline mark then you...

Even with a good PC you will notice a few minor swirls in certain lights - I find the lights in petrol stations show up the most blemishes. Basically if you own a black car and drive it (e.g. not Rich...;)) then you can't really expect it to look 100%. My car is getting on for 3 and a half now...

Ok cheers boys. Think I will have to stick with the buckets of Brita filtered water for the time being then!

Would using bottled mineral water (cheap stuff, not going to be using Evian!) be the same as using filtered water for rinsing the car does anyone know? Merci

I'd try clay, although one thing I have found that is really good for removing tree sap is a high pressure washer with the temperature set around 50 - 60 degrees. Only problem doing this is it will may also remove any wax you have on your car - but clay would do that anyway. You could try the...

My dad's friend's friend is actually proud owner of a certain Veyron...considering how much they cost hoping to charge a cool £1000 to detail it hehe.. Actually, a drive in it would be worth it. My friend got to drive an Enzo a few months back so the Vyron is pretty much the only thing to trump...

Bloody good write up that, lovely car too - really like the R8 a lot. Did a lot in the ten hours really. Need to get myself some of those wheel cleaning brushes, I have one but he has an entire set - thats keen! I don't even want to think about the amount of MF cloths he used to do that...

They are well packaged too, never a small box, so someone has walked with it I guess. Don't know why they don't use Parcel Force or UPS though...?

Wow thats done badly and man is the "presenter" boring... He goes mental with the clay, I thought the video was caught in a loop?!

Aren't the packages sent recorded delivery? If not they should be, only costs a £... Don't know how they could lose a package like that though. Idiots!

We had websense at work, pretty much everything was accessible though excpet for Facebook. TBH as long as your working don't really see the problem visiting a few websites during the day, I kept CS open in a browser tab all day but didn't mean I was watching it all day. I took internet breaks...

In the meantime though I would just drive with the windows down to get as much fresh air in as possible... If you are able to take out the carpet and wash it then its worth a shot before getting a replacement.

She would have to smell a lot of it and for a long period of time for any permanent side effects though...although you may get headaches in the short term. How much did you spill though? If it was a lot then might just be easier to replace the carpet.

Polished Bliss have some really good products and advice. If you give them a call then they should be able to offer some suggestions based on what you want and your budget.

Set it on fire... Pros: petrol will be gone. Cons: so will your car. Not really sure TBH, petrol is notoriously noxious in terms of fumes and because of its consistency once it has soaked its very difficult to remove. Try some AG interior cleaner, dilute it with water and scrub in, leave for...

Haha... sadly I need the money for living, food, going out, petrol etc. Most the girls go and spend it on clothes though and get their Daddies to send them more when they need it! Plus as I said yesterday not sure where I can clean my car, there are loads of hand wash places on Kirkstall road...

Haha. Well looks good anyway. Now you just need to spend some money and buy some products of your own. Once you start though you can pretty much kiss goodbye to your savings hehe.

My dad had a similar mark up the side of his old car which reduced by using scratch x but was still visible. As I didn't have my PC then I didn't have the Menzerna IP which might have had more effect, he had it mopped in the bodyshop in the end which did the trick nicely.

Looks good mate, what products did you use on it?

Yeah obviously it doesn't have much power in it, as it is just a hose extension, but for spraying loads of foam over the car to get the worst of the dust and grime off before washing with a mitt I think its really good. Ideally I would have a pressure washer with gilmour and a water filter but...

Of which I have very little right now!! On the plus side though I will have a very shiny car. Which I will be living in... ;)

Might get the Hyper Wash if it is wax safe and the Snowfoam as its not! So, these and the Onyx, thats another ton down the drain lol. Hmm...

Safe will give it a little dabble. Will it strip waxes off though? Ideally I would like to get two different pre-wash shampoos, one which is safe on waxes and one which is a little bit more aggressive.

It is through the Super Spray, why you say that Riz it works really well...? Can you buy the Hyper Wash in bulk Rich?

Try some Febreze, actually works really well. Otherwise you can get a defumigator type product which is meant to be good, it even kills of bacteria living in your car which produce bad odours.

Currently using CG Maxi Suds as a pre-wash soak, but seem to be using far too much and not working out very cost effective. Are there any alternative products I can buy in larger volume, Snowfoam is meant to be good I heard? Ta

Yeah, I am thinking that as the Onyx seems a proven product might as well go with that. Think I might order it today in preparation for my full detail on the badger again next week...how exciting! :cool:

Waxing by hand using a foam applicator is the way to go, more precise and less waste.

Oh THAT Purple Haze... I thought you might mean the type you smoke ;) Yeah well as everyone has given Onyx such good reviews was thinking of that but if the Purple Haze is any good then willing to try that instead. That sheeting video is nice but hard to tell if its the wax alone making the...

Purple haze...? Was ist das?
