Oh and drying; once washed and rinsed, use the open hose technique to sheet water over your car leaving few beads of water (if the wax is any good). Then, as has been said, use a decent quality MF drying towel to dab the beads. Dragging (whether it be circular or straight dragging) inflicts...

As has been said, pros and serious hobbyists could make comments about products and techniques. But if I did, it would make me feel like a stuck record (and people would still not take it onboard). If it looks good to you, you enjoyed it and its given you a sense of achievement, I'd say that's...

Good to hear chap! In that case, clean as normal then use IronX on them. I say IronX as it seems most of the products released after IronX are not quite up to the bar set by the original product. This will remove all iron contaminants. So wash, dab dry (doesn't need to be bone dry), IronX...

As above, it's a fallout remover. What are you after, Lee? And how're you big guy - how's the BG182?

That's new and five k less. But I understand your point. Utter madness in my eyes.

I think I want a hawk eye. Similar to the blue one a few pages back. Loud, quick, look very mean. But the image stops me instantly.

f**k about, these (new ones) are £23-27k? Holy crap, who the hell buys them?!

Just seen a mk2 in Ambleside. Made me look, but only for geeky "I know what it is" reasons. Still couldn't own one. I bet they're a hoot, but too... Mini.

C4 Dave. Seen 24 months on the Panzer. Not that you'll keep the bini that long haha!

Yeah as above, Clart. Sounds like hard water marks or something that will need a polish rather than a cleaner. Try some SRP as it's easy to get hold of. AutoGlym also do a glass polish that isn't too bad. For a couple of quid from Halfrauds, it should sort it.

Have to say, Alex, the wheels look small and awful in that colour - sorry chap!

Over Tripple/C2 combination for example...

A wax needs to gas. Once it's done this, topping with C2V3 is not an issue.

I'm hungry.

Use the Hubikote and let me know your thoughts, Andy.

Ambiguous post is ambiguous (his, not yours pizza boy). Technically, it is a good wheel cleaner. And Purple Wonder Wheels is the Hot Wheels as there isn't another purple Wonder Wheels. Wut?

Re August or September start, is it just a case of waiting, Andy? Not received mine yet and having it delivered to work address (away from this PM for a week, so won't know if anything has arrived!).

Re: My new car. TTQS Not sure on the steering wheel, Tom!! In serious need of a clean and looks like a pre-facelift S3 wheel?

Being a minute late to the party does not count as a prediction, Andy ;) edit; lol ;)

Depends how au fait you are with the prep process. If you are happy to do all the above and then apply a nanosealant that requires care and concentration when working with it, Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour (or something similar if you're more of a CarPro fan etc). If not, something like Poorboys...

Which means they're not sealed. Suggest cleaning them as best you can, IronX, Tardis, Clay, Polish, IPA wipedown and seal. Then you'll need nothing more than warm soapy water.

Don't apologise fella :)

Tried it last night, Andy. Painted it on to ensure a decent coverage. Not bad, be interested to see how long it lasts.

40'C wash, non-bio washing liquid, no softener and left to air dry (not machine dry). This is not true, but has spread recently. People put plenty of worse things in the washing machine. Lol.

I just couldn't own a mini. And I can't stand those wheels. But aside from my personal opinions, enjoy!!

50mm Stu - coming along nicely chap!

Hear hear - yet to receive but well done Andy!

Cracking chap! Can see the smile on your face from here!

100%.

I'm disgusted at myself for saying this, Neil, but this is a repost (epic though it may be). Tom posted it under "eery Senna tribute" I think... edit; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?709033-Spooky-Senna-Tribute&highlight=senna
