    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    It's only rated at 70bar pressure so won't fantastic but will work. A nilfisk C110 is rated at 110bar for £50 / £60 would be my choice for a budget washer if you can save a little more towards it.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Beading is initially quite impressive, but I've not found it last unlike Cliotoby. It's better than C2 / Reload in terms of water behaviour but not hugely given all its hype I still think application isn't all that nice when compared to a nice QD or spray sealant, but it seems to be helping a...

    It will work a little better once the hose has been used a few times and loosens off a bit. But with it mounted so high it still has a tendancy to pull the pressure washer over when undoing it. With regards to DW, they probably discovered you're a member on CS.net so already on the blacklist...

    Anyone know much about the Gyeon range apart from the similarities to CarPro and the recent thread on it? A few of their products, Cure, bathe+ and wetcoat have caught my attention. @Scrooge I know you got a few bits how did you get on with them

    I was the first to directly write the insult, correct. Read your posts and you indirectly insulted each person that posted prior to you. Neither of your posts were directed at anyone therefore would be read by everyone that had posted. 'Go to DW to get useful answers', 'keyboard warriors'. Etc...

    With most that have replied are more than likely already members on DW, how much of a better reply is the OP going to get with such a vague post?

    Best Karcher for car cleaning?

    The bottle attachment hat comes as standard with karcher and nilfisk is not a snow foam lance. All it does is give a soapy solution. For proper foam you need a proper snow foam lance on a pressure washer

    A speicifc glass polish like GTechniq G4 or the carpro stuff? Might help give a better base for the G5 as well

    I used clay on glass coated with G1 and it cleaned the surface well and almost rejuvenated the G1. I didn't see a detrimental affect on the coating. Can't see the need myself to use tar and iron removers on glass, coated or not

    Snow Foam Help

    The snow foam lances are all much the same, just check for varying prices. They come with different screw on attachments so the plastic end is all that changes to make it suit either a nilfisk or karcher etc. Keep up with what you've got, it's still better than a bare pressure rinse. Or try...

    Check homebase also, same group I beleive but often having a 15/20% off weekend, plus you can use nectar card points so think I got mine for about £50

    The C110 can be had cheaper but is a decent budget washer. If your budget is Su. £100 then the C120 / centinnal is the one to get. As said earlier look for it at Argos or homebase

    Snow Foam Help

    Is that foam completely LSP safe though? Reads pH neutral, safe on paint etc but no mention of wax safe. It does claim to cut through traffic film which worries me. I know VP make a couple of non wax safe foams and odds washes so a little cautious with these. I won't use RDS on anything...

    Applying Wax by hand, not applicator.

    You laugh, but they will. I spilt some demon shine the other wek end and used the hose on spray to rinse them and they beaded initially. At least using Illusion, with it being so fool proof with regards to over applying and leaving to cure too long ( I left it 90minutes once ) you won't have...

    Snow Foam Help

    As said above, the bottle you have is a detergent bottle for dousing the car in shampoo solution, you need a proper snow foam lance to get a foam that clings as it mixes differently. Is the foam you have a car plan demon shine snow foam, green in colour? If it is its not the best but will do...

    Applying Wax by hand, not applicator.

    You're getting AF Illusion? Probably a good wax to try it with due to it being soft and oily and spreading extremely well, but I'd still choose a damp applicator than hand. I've tried it with Zymol Glasur and councours waxes and swissvax shield. Didn't feel like I was gaining anything, took...

    The nilfisk centinnal is a pretty good unit and I've been using one for ages. Keep an eye on Argos and homebase discount weekends as they often go for sub £100

    Nothing will remove a scratch, all they do is remove or soften the edge of clear coat around the scratch to make it look less obvious. If it's swirls and light hazing then you might have a chance of doing something about it. It's a bit hard to really give any advice when you dont give any...

    What's your budget, as if it's a the lower end of the scale a Nilfisk pressure washer may be better as they have a metal impeller.

    It takes more than pH value to affect waxes. J thought it was supposed to be LSP safe, so maybe it's leaving something behind that's giving its own water behaviour over the top of your existing protection? If the shampoo leaves anything behind over the top of your wax or sealant, then he...
