Most of my local garages have stopped the DIY wash and opted for automated car washes or the Eastern European wash gang as it stop the hassle from the neighbours for using the pressure washer at home

they are a great time saver without doubt. but if you're decontaminating properly there really shouldnt be all that much left on the paint to need a heavy clay so spending a little longer with a tar remover can make claying much quicker.

Yes machine polishing, but that is the worst example I've seen of wash / clay marring so go careful is all I would say

the damage that can be caused from using a clay mitt. This was on a Honda S2000 so presuming fairly soft paint, But I also experineced this a little on a gloss black Golf

I've had the spotting with hydr02 and with wetcoat, it's almost like small little water spots. And it's a pain to remove Used on glass it works better than flyby30. Showed me just how much I wanted to go back to gtechniq G1 Should really need to use anything over hydr02 as it doesn't really...

Layering can have a minimal benefit, but use a product that can be. Fk is high solvent iirc, therefore the solvents in the new fresh layer will go some way to partially stripping the old layer. You've also got to consider that the partially stripped base wax will interfere with the bond of the new

Thanks for the heads up, pretty sure I have one of those stores near work so will check them it as it's handy to know where to get some immediate supplies

No particular reason. Any protection they provide isn't really an issue, I just like the feel and application, and finish they give. A good compromise. Tripple cleans well, fills better and is simple and affective to use. I've not really seen it have a dramatic effect on the durability of the...

Looking for another AIO and pre wax cleanser type product to use under waxes. Very happy with autofinesse tripple and rejuvenate and have re bought them over the past few years. Was using lime prime before that and fancy trying something different, or if nothing is really going to be any better...

Our local A1 motor stores stock a limited range and can order the rest but never looked at any of it to see what of the range they hold

I guess you're referring to the video where a guy applies GTechniq C5 followed by the Dynax over the top on monster truck sized Porsche alloys?

Not a bad price for the length if it's heavy duty

Hose lock?

pH doesn't always indicate whether it's wax safe, but it's always nice to have pH neutral AF citrus power is pH 13? So high alkali and is very wax safe, never had it shorten or affect any LSP

People need to start looking past how the foam looks, how thick it is or how long it sits in the paint. It is in no relation an indication of cleaning performance

Trim restored seems to be marginally longer lasting than AF revive, but on splitters you really need to be looking at something more permanent otherwise they'll just get washed off did to their position. Maybe look for someone locally to give you a hand with something like gtechniq C4 or carpro...

You need to break it down a bit into the different types of washes. The full correction detail that is done once a year maybe less where everything is used, maybe what your getting knuckles to do, the protection details where you're cleansing and re waxing anything between every 3 to 6 months...

You can still mop a car, just use a bit of old school G3 and a wool pad and bobs your uncle! The people that should know better that still refer to it as mopping instead of machine polishing is a little worrying though

With imperial being quite a high alkali, although I don't know he pH of the soap, I'd imagine the it isn't going to degrade your protection anywhere near as quickly

It's generally considered if you're going for the cheaper range then opt for nilfisk due to the metal internal impeller, whereas cheaper marchers are plastic until they get more expensive. The nilfisk centinnal or C120 is around £100 but can often be found on sale from Argos/home base as low...

Do you think it really adds all that much protection though? Granted the water behaviour is extreme and outperforms even the best LSP's but but does it really add much more. Polymer net shield on the other hand has kept my car cleaner than any other LSP I've used, but it's another cr@p feeling...
