    G220 starter pack...

    We do a couple of kits based on Menzerna. One the Menzerna pads with the set of polishes. The other comprises a litre of Intensive Polish (now called Power Finish) and Final Finish, a small bottle of Power Gloss and the Sonus pads. If you need correction then the pure Menzerna kit is the one...

    Faded paintwork where vinyl graphics have been

    I've just picked a second hand van up and that had similar problems and stupidly I never picked it when I was buying it as it was always raining or viewed under cover. In full sun it looked a mess. Luckily it turned out to be just the freshness of the new paint and the oxidised and scratched...

    foam lance

    Thanks for the detailed reply Matt. The connectors did definately seem like a good solution but they are strangely tighter than the brass ones. We are getting our brass Karcher ones from a different supplier who makes them in house so there could be a slight difference in tolerences. I know...

    foam lance

    They definately don't strip wax using the correct shampoos. Maxi Suds would be ideal. I'd put a couple of pumps of Maxi Suds in and then top with water. Really it's a case of finding what works best for you by adjusting the ratios using the top dial. With Maxi suds you can use it firstly to...

    Final Finish straight to wax ?

    Both FF and FA are pretty much identical. They are just developed for different car manufactureres at factory level. I actually couldn't tell the difference at all between the two side by side but with FA being newer every one thought it was better so we had to stock it. Both are...

    foam lance

    What bar is that rated to Matt? The one I posted works to 200 bar. It's from a different company to the autorae chem ones so a higher rating than the 160 bar like the standard HD lances. Those plastic adaptors don't seem fit any of the 6 or 7 series machines either. We tried them but had no...

    Final Finish straight to wax ?

    If you have PO106FA that is good as well. Having said that though i was just thinking Megs #80 leaves a very glosy finish as well. When I prepped the van (just doing a write up) I did use AIO on a finishing pad as well just to make sure the Z2 was going on top of a zaino finish. I did my wifes...

    LOL I always have that temptation whatever sealant I use :banghead:

    Final Finish straight to wax ?

    Menzerna Finishing polishes are very good, especially PO85RD for just giving that bit of extra gloss over other polishes. You are best applying both PO106 FA and PO85RD with a nice soft finishing pad, I use a Lake Country Blue or SFX-3. If you have Carlack Nano or SRP, that below Collinite...

    foam lance

    Remember shorter isn't always good as the foam is created from being passed through the nozzle and through the mesh weave. We have tested quite a few different ones before deciding on this current one due to the amount of foam produced and solid build quality. It really does feel beautifully...

    I took these two today using the Valet Pro -PH neutral snowfoam also. The last picture was with the dial to full :cool: There is a petrol cap under there!

    foam lance

    Foam lances are absolutely brilliant. Add some snow foam, as Michael says the PH neutral stuff is awesome and you can apply it like shaving foam if you desire. It's amazing the amount of muck they pull off. We've just introduced a new foam lance which is higher quality and at the moment £10...

    Do cyc orders ever arrive next day ?

    I'm not sure why you are criticising us personally though, that wasn't our fault. We do get everything out the same day or the next day, even the non next day deliveries. There is absolutely nothing more I personally can do unless I drive it up myself. We were obviously let down by Parcelforce...

    Do cyc orders ever arrive next day ?

    I know we've been here before, but in fairness we did send the parcel by Parcelforce 24 to you. The problem is your postcode area in Scotland means they call it Parcelforce 24, but it is a zone exception so can take a further 24 hours. We are looking at getting the programming beefed up to...

    Do cyc orders ever arrive next day ?

    Hi Michael, We were snowed under from the weekend so it definately went today by parcelforce 24 so will be with you tomorrow. On a Monday you need to get the order in before 2.05pm for next day ;) You should get a tracking link from parcelforce. Tim

    I'd have loved to have done you a Zaino order as well!

    Zaino would looks the awesome on glacier white. White is such a tricky colour and as such you are looking for as much shine and protection. Having said that on a smaller budget, Carlack Nano topped with Collinite #476s is very difficult to beat. Really it comes down to budget though and how...

    EZ glaze?

    Before EGP.

    EZ glaze?

    If you have Chemical Guys EZ glaze, then yes it would be definately woth applying on silver. USe after poilishing and before waxing. It should add a nice depth. Tim

    Quick PC Question...

    Yeah thats normal. The PC isn't a fixed rotation like a rotary polisher so you should be able to stop it spinning on lower speeds with moderate pressure. I tend to use the PC for polishing on speeds 4+. The G220 seem to have more power though and don't stop quite so easy.

    What wax for a 172 Iceberg Silver ?

    If you are wanting to go down the Zaino route and are looking for a cleaner polish, then Zaino AIO would be the one to go for. It is pricy, but does leave a beautiful finish. You could definately use SRP though to remove the collinite and that would also form a nice base as Zaino doesn't seem...

    What wax for a 172 Iceberg Silver ?

    I'd suggest Victoria Collectors for a wax. It looks stunning on silver and all my car really wears. Or as mentioned above Z-2 followed by Z8 for amximum flake poppage and slickness.

    Need To Buy Some Terry Towels ASAP... Where From?

    For applying SRP I really wouldn't use cotton terry towels they are too harsh. These types of applicators are wht we'd reccomend, using the firmer white side to work the polish before buffing off with a soft microfibre.

    Products needed for PC application

    250ml will do at least 2-3 cars easily. Less is more with the Menzerna. The menzerna polishing pads are also worth a look. Being 5" they fit the D/A backing plate perfectly and in my eyes are alble to break down the polishes better. Tim

    None of the detailing retailers attending FCS?

    We do a few shows but I seem to have been struggling for time this year. The problem with taking stuff in a car is that your car won't be insured if Next year I do plan to attend all these sorts of shows. Tim

    Clean your wheels with this badboy!

    I thought it looked terrible and it's very expensive.

    info please

    We do most of the waxes listed above. Pete's 53 is £20. My personal choice would be Victoria Concours but I have say Petes 53 sells better. Collinite #476s if you are looking for a really durable finish.

    As much current product range comes to an end...

    Yes definately. It works an absolute treat when applied by machine. Remember though you don't need tophysically work it like you would a normal abrasive polish. Just use the machine to apply a nice thin even coat.

    Superb work, what a difference in the before and after shot. Lovely colour for the Orange Crush!
