    Wheel Sealant?

    The last time I bought it, it was circa £15 delivered, and that was before the VAT increase. Polished Bliss with their free shipping would be my suggestion, but you've mentioned you want to do it this weekend, which the 3-5 working day shipping won't guarantee...

    Products with a rotary polisher

    As you've mentioned, the White Diamond is a good shout, decent filler glaze and should add that little bit of "something" to your paint. Sealants wise, I tend to find acrylic sealants work the best. I would therefore suggest Chem Guys Blitz Spray or Werkstat Acryllic Jet.

    Wheel Sealant?

    Agreed, but only if they know how to apply it properly... hence the easier PB suggestion. x

    Work the product in as a polish and remove with a light buff from a MF.

    ag srp

    You can spritz a small amount of QD on the pad to reduce the dust, but SRP is quite a dusty product.

    Cheap Ass Paint Depth Gauges

    I'm sure you could. But the smoke, smell and clear visual signs would stop even the most neanderthal of users.

    The White Details Treatment

    All dealers are bad for washing cars. Mine was pretty much pristine until it went into Audi for a few days for an MOT and service. Even though I had specifically told them not to and there were signs all over the car, they washed it and marred it to feck.

    Those Protective Vinyl Wraps

    I agree, but I do no miles what-so-ever. If I was doing 15k a year, I would get it.

    Cheap Ass Paint Depth Gauges

    I would say if you can afford one, you should buy one, regardless of machine. However, not everyone who has a DA has a PDG... I didn't when I first started out and didn't have any issues. Better safe than sorry, but it is down to personal opinion and circumstance.

    Products with a rotary polisher

    Have you used a machine polisher before? If so, what are you currently using with the rotary? Polishes do not distinguish between colours - they are there purely to take away small amounts of the top layer. Waxes and glazes are more suited to different colours. I currently use the Menzerna...

    Cheap Ass Paint Depth Gauges

    Ebay is going to be your best bet fella. They are sadly not cheap, but for a reason. Either that or wait for a GB on DW again.

    Polish recommendations

    If you're trying to achieve correction, it's not going to be easy by hand fella. There are ways to step up from what you are currently using/doing - these are as follows; GTechniq P1 or Menzerna 203s on a Hand Cut Pad. These will be better at removing light swirls, but on VAG paint (hard as...

    Those Protective Vinyl Wraps

    It depends how you look at it. With a paint guard system like 3M Venture Shield and the like, it can detract from the look of the paint work/car. If you're not fussed, it will save you £££ in resprays. But some people would rather a respray at a cost of £££ each year, rather than the protective...

    Stainless Steel Exhaust Tip Cleaning

    Depends on how bad the metal is. Generally when I get a car in, it requires a wash down with APC, de-tarring with Tardis, then fine grades of wirewool with either Autosol or Belgom Alu. Then I tend to use Blackfire Metal Sealant to make it much easier to clean the next time around.

    GTechniq C5 Wheel Sealant

    There are always going to be discussions and reviews about new products, but I think this one deserves a thread in the detailing community on this site. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=189099 http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c5-wheel-armour/ "The...
