    Faded red Tu-pac (brap brap!) paint

    Supposed to be 5+ degrees over the weekend so apply to 2 panels, remove the first panel, apply to a third, remove the second etc. Or just apply and wipe off. The warmer it is the sooner you need to remove it. Left to cure for too long or applied too thick it can be awkward to remove, but not...

    Windscreen wash marks

    Most have something like autoglym SRP which should do the job. If not then invest in some tripple, and dilute your washer fluid more

    Faded red Tu-pac (brap brap!) paint

    Spirit is one of the most durable waxes I've ever owned, keep layers as thin as possible and it's very easy to use

    Tar remover HELP!

    not sure what you mean by the 'real stuff'? Tardis and Iron-X were probably some of the better original versions to be brought out, but the likes of Tar-X, ObliTARate and others are just as good

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    as said you don't need to clay everytime you wash, only when you want to re apply a new wax or sealant and the previous has failed and allowed for plenty of bonded contaminants. I typically give it a give going over each spring and it lifts very little from the panel providing my wax or sealant...

    Tar remover HELP!

    iron x is for metal contaminants, wheels or body. tardis, tar removers etc is for tar on wheels or body also, can be used to remove sticker or wheel weight residue. None come as a diluteable form so just spray on as it comes, i4detailing and autofinesse are traders on here and sell different...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    use enough to get a good hold and still on the panel, personal preferrence really Re using depends on how much grim you lift off, if it starts to look pretty dirty then bin it, if a car is well maintained and protected, you may only need to clay once a year / 18months. even then there might not...

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    I personally wouldn't bother unless you're going to advertise them on DW as well. Don't think there is enough of us that'll be interested just on CS. Only had 2 interested in me breaking up my Glasur, and a few claiming they were too expensive when they would have been at cost plus P&P.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I could have sold twice that of what I have advertised. I put up 2 waxes and bought 2 more before they had sold, should receive a definitive wax sample today. Did have 4 bottles of QD, sold 3 and bought another. Purely because I wanted to try something new

    AF citrus power with a pressure rinse removes more dirt and grime than all snow foams with pressure rinse that I have tried, including avalanche. You can also use citrus power through a snow foam should you want. again still doesn't work quite as well as sprayed on by hand but still works

    Rainsport's in the snow

    In half fresh snow I've overtaken cars going up hill as they sit there wheel spinning. but then i did the same in p zeroNero, pe2 etc. No worse than any other decent tyre in snow.

    Who Needs Wax

    How many miles do you do a month? 5, maybe 6? My car is that bad after a week in all seriousness, worse if the weather's wet. and that's with a car that's waxed and starts to clean itself in heavy rain. In the current weather I'm having to clean the lights and numberplates every other day to...

    Cleaning very dirty alloys?

    it depends what your thinking of using? typical car shampoo or diluted all purpose cleaner to start with will be fine. ive not known ironx to react with paint either. but if youll be rubbing them down after to get a good key in the paint it wont matter

    Cleaning very dirty alloys?

    get the worst of the grime off first with a wheel cleaner or strong shampoo. then go for the ironx, or try the paste version for a stronger more localised bits

    Stopped for 3/4 front plate

    if they don't fill the recess properly, as most 3/4 plates, they look sh!t. He probably pulled you more on that than it being too small. Fashion police for the win!!! They can be trimmed down to be legally sized as it all depends on the lettering size and a minimum of an 11mm border IIRC. This...

    another 'what wax' thread

    carbon is a very nice wax at that price, very close to glasur. glasur worth the extra price over carbon, probably not but neither gave me that special oily feel

    Newbie after advice on products PLEASE :)

    ive heard mixed reviews on that clay block inflicting its own damage. trix isnt quite as powerful as separate irin x and tar removers but will be fine if your car has been well protected and not that much bonded contaminants
