makes it look like you've broken down, leave it in the boot till you're on track

application is very nice, so oily a quarter turn was enough to do 90% of my bonnet. applied panel at a time and removed, came off very easy. cures almost instantly outside but doesnt really haze over, very translucent, but doesnt cure hard so a swipe test showed it was ready to come off. gave...

Nice big drying towel, uber yellow from i4d Tar removers, iron removers, makes claying much quicker and easier. therefore not wiping all the contaminants around the panel. cleansers like werkstatt prime can be used prior to machining. getting the kit in one go will be expensive, I'd suggest...

Before correction, you need to look at your wash technique so you're not inflicting more swirls. Then before correcting you should cleanse and decontaminate the paintwork properly. There is more than just clay for this to do it properly. for a start, get looking through the products available...

Been going a while now, but full of the same DWers that frequented their subforum. Not really found it very useful.

But then they don't tell you to empty out your spray heads for harsh chemicals like tar removers, APC's etc to stop them working / sticking, but it's good practice to. I only rinse my lance through maybe after 6months, probably once a year. Depends how much you use it.

^ lots of gloss enhancers and not very good lubrication, plenty of bubbles

Loads of places, Google Or their are two traders on here that both sell iron removers, i4detailing and autofinesse

Call matt at i4d, if there is one I'm sure he'll sort you out. Or post up a pic

More than likely this 99.9% of the time

Really is sad news that people are so willing to do whatever it takes just to get a car. Just out of curiousity, how easy were your keys to find

Wax adds only a little to the finish, this comes from the polishing / glazing stage. The durability will also be affected by the base that the waxes sits on, a nice clean base is great, one with bits of old waxes, dirt and grime will not bond very well. A nice easy prep would be autoglym super...

any general shampoo, degreaser or wheel cleaner for the 1st initial wash. IronX or similar iron remover will then remove all the imbedded brake dust. A tar remover (tardis) can then be used should you have any tar spotting or wheel weight residue left over. Although not always necessary Now the...

1L Valetpro advanced nuetral snow foam, currently on offer at waxamomo at £9 1L autofinesse oblitarate bouncers 22 just because I liked satsuma rock so much

Yeah more bubbles does always mean slick feeling, plus more bubbles left when finished washing if any parts start to dry make it more diffficult to rinse. Born to be mild is a huge favourite

Tardis typically leaves a film on the paint so a rinse doesnt always remove it fully, but nothing needed inbetween the two processes

You can but it is posted illegally, due to its substance it should be kept in controlled circumstances, ie the tins autosmart supply it in. Plus how do you k ow it's not been watered down

I do t think so but never used it myself None typically from those mentioned aas they are typically highly lubricated to allow your wash mit to glide over the panel, then being less sudsy it is easier to rinse. If you want lots of bubbles stick your hose on spray or use your pressure washer to...

Qd's aren't always the best as a lubricant, some work with plain water ie bilt hammer clay. Some use a diluted shampoo mix, I personally use dodo born sloppy concentrate diluted in a random spray bottle

DO NOT buy anytime of poly clay, it's rubbish and lifts very little grime. One of my favourites has always been the megs clay you can get in halfords

I couldnt find much on it, had an order pending with I4d and don't want to buy 5l of a tar remover, not that Tardis is currently in stock. Trying to stop making multiple orders and stick to one firm but it never happens

So any thoughts on carpro tar x?

Dodojuice born to be mild Gtechniq gwash Megs hyper wash Autofinesse lather BriteMax Cleanmax There are lots but he above are all wax safe non gloss enhancing

Working by hand reminded me a little of hd cleanse, dried very quickly but did give a deepened darker glow. Satsuma rock spread very nicely over the top

What are your thoughts on amigo by DA? Used it by hand yesterday and wasn't overly impressed.

Ironx snow foam isnt very good as a snofoam or a fall out remover. Look at either one or the other You mention nothing of washing, proper decontamination or polishing Z2 and purple haze are both finishing products to provide protecting, you can use both but not really needed.

has anyone tried carpro's tar-x?
