Could be, but their's is WW too, so will go hard. Stick to these newer types, much nicer and won't go hard.

Lol, ok, not tried the nuba kit. Get some Saphir ;)

Anyway, new forum ;) http://detailingparadise.com/forum/index.php Amazingly busy already, and Zymol is not only allowed, but Zymol Europe are on there as members, plus threads like this are allowed http://detailingparadise.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271 Kicks off a bit, nice.

I'd have to agree, plus PB sell three of theirs for £29, which is all you'd need.

Blue Velvet looks the best, but that's because RB is hawt. Is that a Jag XK?

The CYC yellow one, which is Eurow I think, seems to go hard after a lot of use, like all of the waffle weave towels. The Dodo SN Towel is the softest, but you have to be soft to buy it IIRC - £23. Nice though, and it's huge.

The Autobrite Drying towel? Same as a CG Miracle Dryer, but £5 cheaper and blue. Decent buy, defo. You tried a Zymol sponge Ali?

Onyx, or RaceGlaze 55.

It's easier to fill if you put the water in first kthnxbai x

SV Mitt? You mean the Waschpudel? It's more like a sponge with bits hanging off it, than a mitt.

Backup Rotary, few bits from I4D that I wanted to try, and the Blackfire Wet Shine Fire thingy which was £85 or so, and a few other bits from Polished Bliss

Looks good. Are you getting a 'proper' HD lance like the ones I4D sells, or are you getting the £15 Karcher one? You will also need a decent, foaming shampoo, like Megs Hyper Wash, or BH Autofoam.

RD is the older one, the newer RE is better, and dusts less. Matt now stocks them too: http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Menzerna_Final_Finish_PO85RE5_250ml_1.html 203S is good enough to do the job. Get the Menz pads too, they are superb.

Sounds good man, but I think sealants look better on silver, but each to their own. The White Diamond via machine cleans quite well, so may have removed your CK layer... Get some Menz PO85RE on the go...

Nice work! What did you use?

I've got some Cruising Wax, and it seems great, but it's only a small sample pot :(

SRP isn't all that IMO - Blackhole or Clearkote RMG are the best fillers, particularly on black. Get it machine polished though, don't cheat :)

The Turtle Wax is indeed pretty good for £3.75 from Asda. CG NLTG wins for me at the moment.

Must have been a dodgy job? The paint and clearcoat is almost always a LOT thicker after a respray!

Not much looks wise between Onyx, Saphir and BOS, but that 'just waxed' look remains for longer, the more you spend. For summer, and fortnightly applications, Onyx is great. Lots of people swear by Saphir as being the sweet spot cost/look wise, but BOS seems to get more attention... Have you...

Ok, you fill it up with water to the respective line, then top up with APC to the bottom of the neck of the bottle :)

Oh I've heard it's good there ;) I've spent another £250 today, lol.

The CYC own Snow Foam isn't the best, so I wouldn't go with that myself. Megs Hyperwash does the business for me, or BH Autofoam. Valet Pro Snow Foam is nice and fluffy, but doesn't clean all that well.

That looks awesome, BOS is boss tbh.

You want to clean the paint, cheaply... SRP.

Stu, I think I saw that you sorted this on DW, correct? Zenith technique ;)

Did you get one Jonny? DA is a waste of time, and for amateurs who are scared of burning through their paint ;) Get a rotary, and do your car three times as quickly.

The Poorboys stuff is a PITA to use and isn't all that anyway. Look at Optimum Opti Seal which will easily outlast it, and is wipe on walk away. Scrub them up with SRP or similar first, if needed. Using a 'wax' isn't the best idea, as like with car paint, it won't repel like a good sealant will.

White Diamond is better than Black Hole on anything but black cars, so I'd look at that. The other main option is going to be SRP, followed closely by the Clearkote hand glazes. Tbh though, you need it deswirling. Where are you? :)
