Great work Ant! Photos are a bit off, happy to offer my services next time instead of the drop top ghey ;)
When is the next detail booked in for? Fancy dropping by!
Buying a bottle for a brief top up detail due at the end of this month, Kev. Hope it's as good as you say, although if it's even marginally better than V1 I'll be happy for 6 months.
Not necessarily. If the car is well protected a low pressure hose off will work. Or a product like auto finesse citrus power will break it down, leaving it easy to rinse off.
Wipi g is a no no. Birds eat grit to aid digestion. This poop it out leaving it on your paint.
Durable, yes. But 476s will mute the flake pop on metallic cars and generally make silver cars look dull. If you want something as durable, but with better looks, try 915 Insulator wax.
SN is pretty average in the grand scheme of things. And for £50-65, it's way overpriced. Nattys Blue Paste at £15 looks better an lasts longer with correct prep and app.
If the budget is £50 go for Carbon. If lower, Bouncers.
This isn't the halfords shopping section, chap. The products you've listed (save for LP) are terrible.
For £22 you can buy P1 and a hand cut pad. Probably a few MFs as well. So OP, I suggest taking that advice...!
500 is far too coarse. But people use it as they see results more quickly.
3000 and 4000 should be used to remove the marks imparted by 2000 grit.
People expect immediate results, hence the "botch job" 3M kit sells so well.
RDS was £2.25 in ASDA (1/4 the price of CP), so got a load cheap in Halfords as well in their price match. Wax safe, not quite as effective as CP however from testing by... yellow someone, Belly or Dave.
And yes, I know you're a cunitdot. ;)
That's the same price as Tescos, folks. So if you can't find it near you, it's £3 cheaper than Halfords (since I can't get any more :( ).
This isn't an arsey post. This is a post stating you're making it easier for CS users (I know how written word comes across ;) ).
For a nothing added/nothing gained QD, I still like Megs Last Touch. Bulk buy, ratios are good, smells nice, lasts ages.

For something that tops up and adds to the finish, Z6/8 are/were my go to products.
