Been asked by a couple of people now what sort of things i've done to my car lately as they want something similar done. So made a list of the following:
- Wash 2BM Megs gold class
- Rinse
- Wheels Bilberry 5:1
- Tyre megs hot shine
- Car Lack sealent
- 2 layers of sonax or megs wax...
1) I've read you can use Megs Gold Class as a detailer. Before i mix this up anybody know the amounts ish??
2) Tyre shine. Can someone recommend me one. Currently using Megs and about to run out. Want something that will last but also be very very glossy
Have you run your finger down the side of the car? When you do does it feel lumpy and your not smooth at all. If so probably need to clay the car. This stips the paint work of all the contaminates that get in your paint work. This then means you can bring your car up to showroom shine
Not really my cuppa and probs not many people on here. But whatever makes you happy though. All i'd say is try make it how it looked in the first place. Some black wheels with a red line, red badges, red front calipers. Try keep it looking smart
Dont think Halfords are doing 3 for 2 anymore. If your not in a rush for the bits check out www.i4detailing.co.uk

Went to Brands Hatch this weekend and being the VXR's last race as they're pulling out next year was giving away all their merch really cheap. On the way out managed to haggle them down to £10 for:
Cockpit cleaner
Active shampoo
Brake cleaner
Wheel cleaner
Polish and Wax
Big tub of wax +...
Finally got round to sorted out my mates wheels on his astra. Something either his used or something by a cleaning company really reacted with the paint on his wheel and nothing would sort it out. Was all clouding looked more grey than black.
Before:(this is how they if they'd been cleaned...
