Id absolutely love to tackle that paint. Would be so satisfying

It depends what you're shooting for. Ultimate compound is a pure cutting compound with no fillers. SRP does have a very minor amount of cut, more polish, but has lots of fillers so it will 'fill in' some more minor swirls. If you're shooting for a true cut and then wax, srp isn't necessary...

I think I've got 4 bottles of super resin at home 🤣

I second this. Jon from Forensic properly got me into detailing. I met him recently and he's actually a proper nice chap.

No dramas. @imprezaworks and I are kind of detailing addicts 🤣. As for a wax. Yeah, the meguiars stuff is half decent. I find some of their products good and others not so much. However, for a beginner, you can't really go wrong with their stuff. Just look for the Carnuba ones over the...

Good luck with the machine polishing. Amazing results can be had with the right technique and knowledge. In regards to the final stages- Synthetic Waxes (Sio2 mostly) will generally last longer. They're normally the ones that give insane beading and *should* last up to 12 months if properly...

Alternatively, like a true champion, you could buy some Ryobi stuff?

Thats exactly it. You get used to the smell which is a bummer. I've got 2 so I'll alternate between them for when i fart in the car

Cheers @riz . Ill see how I get on with the Autobrite ones and then hit up the crack dealer next time I see him (aka the autosmart man)

The halfords kind of ones mate? With the twist lids? Always smell lime a strippers snatch?

Possibly mate! Anyway, I think those towels are probably destined to be renegaded. Ive posted about this way too many times so ill just bite the bullet and renegate them to doorjams or whatever and buy some new ones. In other news, has anyone tried the Autobrite direct spray air fresheners...

Nope. Maybe used drying aids once or twice when running out of resin for my filter but thats a rarity. I tend to dry and then apply a QD/Spray Wax with a mf cloth. I would wash them after every use tbh. Only for fear of swirling. Used proper MF wash too nothing with softners in. I think that...

I must be buying s**t ones then @riz I have an autoglym one, beige colour. That was amazing then just fell off a cliff performance wise. Also have a huge Auto Finesse one, green, that again was great but just fell off a cliff. F knows what im doing wrong 🤣

ive just 'thrown in the towel' ;) over drying towels. Pure water rinse and f**k off inside now. All mine have gone to s**t and cant get them back. f**k spending another 100 quid only for them to last a few months

lucky you! Mine comes out looking like spaff Driveway facing south makes for some serious running around in summer trying to dry the car. Much easier just to flick my water system on and pressure wash off with pure water :)

as far as I can tell, theres 2 types of resin for filters. MB115 is designed for softer water just to get it down to 0PPM. MB151 is designed for much harder water applications. Being that my water is 300+ ppm, I hope it lasts better. In my 5L vessel, 151 literally lasted about 3 months before it...

Another £100+ spent.... 5L Sufex HD 25L MB151 Resin (better last longer than the last batch of 115 I swear to god) x2 Autobrite Airfresheners

To be honest, I would be trying to sort out the water pressure situation before buying a PW. I say this because I've never come across a PW that is gonna handle a sudden drop of pressure and as you know, this can kill them. I'm sure this is why so many Kartchers go bang. Always drain the...

think it depends heavily on the paint. I havent found it to marr my bmw but the paint is like concrete...and its not black 🤡

Easy mate. buy stuff then post it on here & detailingworld for sale 6 months later 😘

Mr 1:1 Surfex HD you mean?

how does it dilute mate? Im well sorted after my Autosmart purchase but always good to know for future

not dear either? Looks good. High PH I assume?

So, just a heads up, im writing this after having a beer. Yes, its not even 5pm yet, but thats been the kind of day ive had 🤣. Make of that what you will. My advice to your OH (pics pls) would be quite simple: Find someone who does this for a profession, is reasonably priced and wont spank you...

This doesnt happen often, but im legit lost for words here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Got my Ryobi lawnmower on its way....free drill included. Might find some Milwaukee stickers for both bits to make you lot happy.

Glass polishing is the worst of the worst detailing wise. Its messy, difficult and often doesnt actually turn many results. If you want to give it a go, use a heavy cut pad and a heavy cut polish on a machine and see how it goes. If not, its the usual glass cutting compounds. Go VERY careful...

Used to be really big into my gaming. Since moving out of home and being a little more career driven, I lack the time these days. So sad. Used to love blowing 8 hours on a great game of cod Zombies. More recently, I redownloaded Civilization 5 and im really back into it. Love that its quite...

SGS Engineering got some pretty decent discounts on the Milwaukee stuff atm. Keep emailing me about it but im far superior and have Ryobi....

Always forget you can get it direct from BH. I need some as used the last of it to give my towels a mega strong soak. Cheers
