Give it a bash with some metal polish, could always use some wire wool too if it's not shifting the grime.

Absolutely, if you already have Mercury it will be more than up to the job. I'm a big fan of the Britemax Twins though!

Thanks guys! Thanks man, was pretty pleased with the finish.. Ideally would have preferred to apply Rejuvenate via DA but it's all down to time with these short days. Reload is really growing on me, definitely on par with C2V3 for me at the moment!

As above they are 235bhp the Edition 35's.. Remap takes them to over 300 straight out the box. Easy power!

Thanks chaps! It really is a lovely car, I was pretty blown away by it really. Danny, it's just shy of 400bhp.

Hey Guys, I had a call a few weeks back to protect this lovely MK6 Golf GTI Edition 35 for winter. This is 1 of just 2 Edition 35's registered in the UK in Reflex Silver, so it's a pretty rare car especially in this spec. The car was purchased new by the owner and has only covered 13,000...

Forgot all about that! Yes mate, I have a protection detail tomorrow so will be about. Drop me a text.

I haven't either but speaking to somebody today who applied C2V3 to bare paint, (IPA'd after decontamination) and claimed it lasted over 6 months.

Out of interest, who uses panel wipe/IPA prior to applying sealant for example C2V3 after polishing?

£120 retail iirc

Short of what has already been said, I would really suggest having a read of the guides available in this section. Detailing is obviously a learning curve but working on somebody else's car when you appear to have limited knowledge is plain crazy, especially when it involves correction.

I would go for AF Avalanche then personally, it's far from the thickest snowfoam on the market but it's one of the most effective at breaking down dirt and grime due to being citrus infused. Then just a case of rinsing after leaving to dwell and washing as usual.

That's why I stopped using it, washing the drive everytime you clean the car is a pain in the ass lol!

Magifoam is far too thick IMO! It dwells for too long and doesn't actually do much. You need a citrus infused snowfoam or prewash for it to actually be effective.

As for the lance, they are all similarly built so one like this would be fine.. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-pre-wash/snow-foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html Select the relevant attachment dependant on your pressure washer. As for snowfoam, there are plenty to...

I might give it another bash then.. I just got a bit frustrated with the cans giving up the ghost every time I used them and they aren't exactly cheap.

On the subject on Cancoat, has anyone used the new style cans more than a couple of times? I bought 2 cans earlier in the year and both failed which has really put me off buying more.

That's exactly what I ordered mate, I can't fault a single Britemax product at the moment! I can't decide if I prefer Vantage or Beading Marvellous.

Just for reference, I ordered some Britemax bits from them a few weeks back and they were fine. Hadn't heard of them either before then.

It drives me mental.. It's literally only because it's £20, If it was £80 nobody would bat an eyelid! I would bet my entire salary on the fact it doesn't last 12 months and the company will be long gone before anyone can prove it. Nothing special in my opinion, it's jus like the Reaper fad...

AutoFinesse 'Wheel Soap' review. Firstly, I just want to thank the guys at AutoFinesse for the personalised Christmas card and chocolates included with this months test product. Very nice gesture and it's been a pleasure reviewing the products over the last year. I was pretty excited about...

Great read!

Feel for the owner, this is a genuinely heartbreaking thing to happen, especially as it's been owned from new! Fingers crossed it turns up, my advice.. SOCIAL MEDIA!

Does anyone in the UK stock Werkstat any longer?

Wrong! Best colour ever is Audi Merlin Purple, bar none! ;)

I felt the same until I worked with it, same with Renault AG, now I really like it! It's still a bit shouty for me as a colour, much prefer them in performance blue.

I love GWash, probably my go to shampoo although I'm a huge fan of CarPro Reset too.

I would probably look into something like ValetPro Concentated, it's wax safe, and £17 for 5L.

What sort of price are you trying to aim for? I personally use G-Techniq GWash the majority of the time, I pay £26 for 1 Gallon. I personally don't think £32 for 5 litres of Lather is too bad, it works out cheaper than GWash in comparison.
