Carnauba x3 coats; Vic's red x2 coats;

After several coats. I fell out with carnauba at first as it dried very quickly, leading to a re-correction of the bonnet.

No. But glass correction is possible. Worth checking how much your excess is for windscreens first though as its difficult and can be therefore expensive. Sometimes easier and cheaper to accidentally introduce it to a brick...

Other way around in the first part. G1 is 50+, G3 is 25+ mph.

Acrylic is also easier to use than carnauba. Carnauba can be fussy on warm days.

Swing and a miss.

This was a life saver (possibly literally) on the way back to London. Torrential rain meant people were using fog lights and going 30mph on the m6. I tootled along at 50 with the Quattro and sheeting working well :cool:

Werkstat carnauba or Vic's red, Mike.

It's a colour I utterly despise, I have to admit. But it's a colour I'd love to detail!!! Is it metallic?

Metallic? Probably something like Werkstat Acryllic.

Worth traveling to someone who sees it as a hobby. The cost will be lower and you can receive what you need, rather than everything. Presuming machine polishing is really the only bit you can't do?

Nice post oh floppy haired one.

Agreed.

Lol.

Was this a TT specific version from Bill? The 3" TIP I have fitted is 3" all the way on my S3. And it was one of the originals in the first groupbuy on AS.net. Interested to see this is now in production in a hose rather than metal pipe... mine has about 7 hoses and a large 3" metal pipe...

Sorry to Dan and Chris who have already answered this, but I'm still intrigued and can't decide. The Vaio has given up after a measely 3 years of use. Granted I may have had something to do with it going wrong, but meh. So I have decided I'd like to join the Mac/iMac band. So the thinking would...

That's the response screen I get when Siri hasn't understood something I've said. So basically, they're lying and the kid has said that to the phone...

"f**k super sealants". Moving on, I am still yet to experience a better starter wax than Nattys Blue. For £15 it wipes the floor with AGHD.

Sorry, wipe down after each de... So detar, wipe down with an old MF. Deiron, wipe down with an old MF.

Hi Ben. Long time buddy. Good to see you're back on the scene. Iron x works quicker than the Deironizer but deironizer can be left to form a gel on wheels and then blasted off taking brake dust with it. Iron x is a liquid so I've found I tend to use more. Wash->Tardis->wipe...

Lime Prime was "all the rage" a few months/years back. Things have moved on hence you don't hear many people talking about it. IIRC it was my, Russ' and Gally's favourite cleaner for a while. Detailing moves on so quickly which is why Russ has to keep abreast of new companies and products like...

HATE R222. It'll always be p21s in my eyes lol. Great results dawn.

One according to John@PB's calcs. Snow foams vary in the amount of time they cling. That's all. Talking about ph neutral ones of course. I use two. Meg's hyper wash for standard washes. G101 @ 1/10 ratio as a pre cleaner that strips wax for reapplication. I don't see any need for anything more.

Valet pro and Autobrite lances are much of a muchness. You'll be hard pushed to spot any major differences in operation. You won't be disappointed with either.

Glos is pretty average.

Flat colours go for carnauba. Metallics and light colours, go for acrylic.

Yeah Auto Finesse would be my push Jay, as Dave has mentioned. I would offer my services, but I am looking for a detailer myself as I don't have the time :(

LOL! s**t news mate! Yeah still have it, although it's getting bumped, bashed and broken into/wing mirrors stolen off it in Londres, so trading it in sometime into the New Year. I needs something similar so might go for a newish Focus.

What have you bought Jay? Don't think I've heard from you since the Nimbus went!

The C4 Dave? I need to remove some from mine as I did the rear bumper for that photo competition and now have a GTechniq advert on my car lol.
