    Glass sealants, worth it?

    removing G1 is probably the only time people will encounter troubles with it. that or wipers blades need replacing and causing juddering. It's just such big step up from the likes of rainx etc

    Glass sealants, worth it?

    and smear and blur when washer jets are used. and last all of about a week with use of the wipers. It's not a good idea! G1 and G5 all depend on the angle of your windscreen and the windspeep over it, not necessarily the speed your are travelling. I have G1 on both cars after trying G5 and...

    Glass sealants, worth it?

    Search g1 v g5, covered not that long ago G5 very easy to apply but doesn't last as long against wipers and washer jets as g1, typically starts to remove water at a wind speed of 30mph. G1 requires 3layers to the windscreen, 1 for other glass and takes about an hour. Lasts years but...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I would agree finale doesnt really affect the beading of the original wax all that much, z6 on the other hand really brought back Glasur but without its sheeting so figured it left something of its own behind

    Exhaust mounts - a straw poll

    removed them with a very sharp knife. still going fine on my dads Clio that we fitted a week after doing mine. although we cable tied mine, we also ran a strong sealant round it and ended up removing the cable ties. still not moved

    Protecting Headlights

    Something GTechniq C1, 4 or 5 are uv resistant with some mild scratch resistance. I never used anything other than a durable wax on mine for 7 years and they still looked as new. I'm sure a lot of it comes down to what they are washed with

    Paintwork correction

    if it's simple paint transfer it won't need a machine polisher to remove.

    To sell or to store?

    You'll probably pay more for a Clio of similar age or spec next spring / summer than you'll get trying to sell yours with Christmas coming.

    Paintwork correction

    perfect prep or blackmax I presume? of so will be fine for removing the paint, scratches will more than likely be specialist repair or respray

    Paintwork correction

    has it gone through the paint on your bumper, or just laid his paint over? what products do you have yourself? working well something like autoglym SRP may start to remove the worst of the paint if it is just laid over the top of yours

    What's your budget as already said wouldn't choose either for winter. At that price I'd be looking at a sealant or AG HD wax or the usual colli / fk wax sealant hybrids

    Process/Products for winter details

    if definitely not enough tripple, then try black hole via DA then top with carlack sealant by hand, or preferrably Z2

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    Mine was the old formula, or so I believe? No real bad watermarks, so fingers crossed it won't be to bad to remove and re apply. This was on Ford paint and not Renault

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    mine was similar, it feels like it needs claying to remove a lot of bonded contamminants that won't wash off. there is definitely something there as it still kind of sheets, although no beading. will be giving the car a full de-con fairly soon so will inspect then. Anyone with thoughts on...

    10k cant find a good 200

    Paul, what kind of condition was your 182 when you bought it? immaculate or just clean and you did the rest?

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    What didn't you like about it? I applied it to my rear bumper and I personally thought I must got something wrong as it hasn't worked. all wheels and plastics are holding strong though

    Process/Products for winter details

    You say about using 2 products on the same pad, why can't you do one car, wash it out then use another product on another car? are you doing both cars the same day?

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    silver, whites, light colours etc it all relies on the prep to decontaminate the paint. look into tar and iron removers after wasing before claying, then all as Toby said

    Would I be right in thinking using them damp would reduce friction, as a type of lubricants as some would use a drying aid? Something I've always wondered

    Red shed's last polish of the year. Honest.

    The colour is amazing, honestly now is that added to by the photography or just the combination of products as the flake and depth of colour is simply amazing. Your thoughts on using tripple via rotary would be appreciated, maybe PM me. I've not got the best out of it yet as I did with DA.

    Buying individually will probably work best, and all items have been discussed before. But if you really want it in kit form then look at the link below http://shop.autofinesse.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=17&product_id=96

    The range wont benefit, the people without a polisher will. I can only think of the lake country and tri foams.ever really being proven as decent hand polish applicators

    Winter Tyres - Are you?

    I am in a sense on the Golf this year, not full on snow tyres but wet weather / mud tyres. I've gone for some uniroyal rainexperts. cope very well with the cold wet weather as the compound performs much better in colder temperatures than typical standard compounds. changing from 205/55/16's...

    Winter wax

    GTechniq C2 or C1.5 Far easier to apply and re layer if wanted should the weather allow within 5 minutes. cheaper than FK I believe as well

    Can you recomended a sealant and a quick detailer

    Impressive, as I wouldn't have thought application could've got easier. How do they compare in other ways, durability, look, beading / sheeting etc?
