Coby. If you just do your own wheels I'd recommend nano sealing them then any brush is more than adequate, saying that a pressure rinse typically is all that's needed.
If you do other people's cars a lot that aren't sealed or protected you won't find anything better than wheel woolies
Look at the application videos made by GTechniq, they will help a lot.
G4 is a glass polish / cleaner, G5 is the sealant.
Clean the glass, ideally clay it as well. Use a glass polish like G4 to to remove everything, follow with an IPA or eraser to remove oils then the G5 glass coating
G1 is far superior to flyby30 IMO. It's pretty easy to apply and remove as well.
I like the performance and idea behind hydr02, but f@ck the cost of it
Interested to hear your findings on how well hydr02 resists dirt as a stand alone LSP
As for the foam, something wrong with your lance, guaze maybe or your settings. I get that consistency from the standard detergent bottle, especially wih Magifoam
I really like these cars, but I couldn't put up with the tax band
The finish is pretty impresive for tripple and rejuvenate by hand. Curious to see bow these affect durability. It always seemed to perform well when I had a pot but it seems to have changed since I had it.
Oh and if I'd have...
Tried the new AF Lather formula today, quite pleased with it. Did the usual accurately measured glug in he bucket and filled with an open ended hose as I dont particularly like lots of suds.
Whereas the original formula the suds seemed to die down the longer it was left, this did keep them...
Next wash, try a wipe down with a QD. Some may add their own protection, but it will also cleanse a little more after normal wash and rinse so could possibly clean the wax a little better returning the tight beading.
Also, the new lather is pretty good.
Zeta, as Scrooge has said, de contamination on white and light colours is vital. If it's still not right, maybe in need of a light polish to remove dead oxidized paint and clearcoat.
Scrooge still got the Golf to run around for work, but changed the focus for an Audi A4 estate to cope with...
I liked the original version, new claimed to be more sudsy so not too much change. Plus I sell off a litre at a time to friends so we get through it. I then don't have to worry about being tight on dilution ratios. a good old glug will do.
Hoping to give the new bus some winter protection this...
Cheers Ant, but I still have a little left from the waxybox sample.
It is very nice and would like some more, but recently buying 5l of new formula lather to try out i really shouldn't
Colour is random.
There are different grades of clay from fine or soft, through to quite firm. The firmer they are the more bonded contaminants they can remove from the surface, but the firmer they are the more marring and damage they can inflict. all should be used with some form of...
Smells very nice and seems to last well, I normally lightly spray it into the air vents to keep a constant scent. The wife liked the smell until I showed her the bottle and name
Get hold of the extension piece of the original lance that connects to the gun, compare the fitment on it to those linked above or on CYC, also check what you've got on the foam lance against the list making sure you got sent the correct adapter, then give CYC a call.
I'd imagine they'll just...
I've had 110 & 120 all the same, thought there was only the one nilfisk fitment. But looking at I4d there is a quick release option

Time to chase up Tim at CYC I think
