The margin on Gilmours is very low so I would be surprised if you got a GB going.

Racing blue can be a sod to pc as the colour highlights micromarring - ultra fine swirls induced by the pc and normally invisible on say a metallic colour. You will need to really work the final polish to esnure its fully broken down to minimise the above something like meguiars #80 which...

I've got a gilmour but the real 'clingy foam' comes from davidg's and shooters foam lance attatchments for a pressure washer. Same price as a gilmour but gilmour runs from an ordinary hose so less hassle!!

Get the saphir mate!

When and where!!! Did you get the titanium from mate!?? I applied mine by hand, had to use quite a lot compared to the atlantique!

Rich I've got the titanium on my car two, its still beading well 3 weeks down the line! Collinite is a doddle to remove in cold weather, if its applied thinly enough!

To be honest mate a PC just won't cut the mustard on hard bmw paint, Don't get me wrong it will get there but expect 2-3 days to get it how you want it. A rotary will halve that time :)

I used to find that a 20-40% shampoo mix with water foamed better

Yes I've got some and also have the £1200 atlantique Its seriously good although not say 40x better than a £12 pot of CG xxx!

Very nice mate If it helps I think your prices are low My M3/CSL clients pay me £200+ and I am considered cheap!

Very easy to get hold of lol!

Guys how long do you spend washing your cars I can go 6 months with only inducing minor swirls but it does take me an hour and a half to do a basic wash lol!!

Is there such a thing as a 182cup? I know they did the 182 with cup packs etc but never knew a specific182 cup was made - bar that joke of a marketing dream ;) Joking aside the 'cup' in the 182 range is more of a 'trophy' ;)

Yes mate but enough about your c**k when did you last wash the car ;) ;) :D

Who are they?

I generally charge £20 an hour or £200 a car less for clios A lot of my work comes from correcting G3 and a quick mop ;)

Top post!!

No splatter matey! That was only with the crappy consumer IP!

Only when you use a rotary at too high speeds. By 'mopping' a panel at high speeds it creates huge variances in paint thickness by trying to cut the paint too fast. I have cut the worst defects out of paint by using a slow cut tecnique which involves about 1200rpm and the panel only becomes...

It wil darken the paint much like a glaze so could be called a bit glazey lol!! Technically SRP is a cleaner wax

If the panels geting so hot you have to throw water over it the person wielding the polisher should be fired!!!

Its in the May comp on autopia still waiting to collect my prize ;)

LOL! Couldn't agree more though about Thames Water! They waste water and yet restrict us?

I can recommemd quite a few places dependant on where you are in Scotland, I would be surprised if you had any noticiable fading though as the paint is clearcoated.
