    Seat cleaning

    I use a 'Bissell' upright wetvac for the home carpets. it's got an attachment for doing smaller areas but never tried it. Works well on the house carpets though

    Easy polish/wax by hand?

    All as above, simple for any level of user and and weather. would also suggest AF Toughcoat as another alternative spray sealant. If you're wanting a wax, most will not play well if over applied, left too long, left in the sun. If the new AF wax (Essence?) is as similar as illusion then this...

    Heavenly detail obviously. Ryan's not gonna get much business from it

    Mazda 6 MPS detail. Contains new auto finesse products

    Also if the wax is as soft as suggested like illusion it'll be a pure pleasure to use by hand instead of machine applying. For the simple pleasure of applying, I will choose a wax over sealant if time allows

    Mazda 6 MPS detail. Contains new auto finesse products

    Didn't look like you were getting much cut at all from Rev 1 combo? Not detailed a Mazda but presumed they were just as soft as Toyota? Which I found soft enough that rejuvenate on a finishing pad nipped out a little. Thats a beautiful colour. Did you feel the glaze added much in the way of...

    Panel temperatures are silly hot, really holds the heat so dries very quickly. Also being gloss black, no metallic it shows up every water mark.

    Buffer trails?

    s17 is fairly aggressive with a polishing pad, certainly had decent results with it with the matching scholl pad, but I've also found it leave trails or holograms if not refined with a milder finishing pad and compound on VW paint. Working it longer will not reduce them IME. If you're wanting...

    I'm regretting owning a black car, but it was the best car out of those I looked at so had to ignore colour. Can never wash it in the summer till 8pm onwards cant really think of a cheap wax I've used myself for a similar price that would leave a comparable or better finish and be nice to use...

    Either use triple or amigo, won't really be much benefit using both. Generally a a filler heavy product as both above and an oily wax or sealant that leaves a wax like finish is always good on blacks

    flyby30? It ideally needs to be heated to aid bond otherwise doesn't last all that long, certainly not in the same league as GT G1. When are you planning on doing it? Said to Kyle I'd help him with some C4 on plastic trim

    When I had the issue, it wasn't in direct sunlight or high humidity or any other weather related taboo. IIRC nor did JD

    I a had similar experience first time I used gyeon wetcoat. Sprayed over the full car and went straight to rinse and had same troubles as JD complained of

    Seat cleaning

    I don't bother with interior cleaning that needs any more than a quick wipe and Hoover. Take it to the local supermarket and have them wet vac it properly for a few £, just don't let them wash the outside

    Windscreen badly marked

    I would, it's surprising how much bonded contaminants you will get off the glass without seeing it there

    Windscreen badly marked

    The carpro ceriglass kit would be my choice, prep would be best as you would do paint.

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    HD wax from halfords if you're ordering from AutoFinesse, look at toughcoat spray sealant. spray on, buff in, apply to whole car, then go back round buffing off. it couldn't be simpler.

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    If the wheels are unprotected, then they will benefit from a dedicated wheel cleaner and/or iron fallout remover. If they're sealed you'll only need shampoo for the majority of washes. Do you have a wax or sealant to use over the top of tripple? it does have a little of it's own protection but...

    Help fitting airbox

    From the airbox, there should be one feed that locates just to the side of the headlight, the other goes down towards the inner arch and connects to the acoustic valve. If it were me, connect the short one to the plate near the headlight, the other send down into the inner arch but no need...

    just remember that if you're running a basic low pressure washer, it won't be as thick as some of the serious hobbyist / amateurs running high powered pressure washers that will make the weakest dilution thick.

    @RyG @kyle86 are fairly local but it's a pretty easy job with standard toolset I could do it for you but it's a bit far to come for a 5minute job

    I'd be cautious using them on anything other than nano sealed wheels

    You sure it's LSP safe? most wheel cleaners and iron removers will diminish most wax or sealants

    A true traffic film remover would, but rapid dirt shifter doesn't, and this seems very similar
