Im going to use both hands and Hawk Tuah you.

Absolutely buzzing for this chaps! I know it was mentioned previously in here but I cant find it now. Anyone have any half decent videos of both layouts? I should probably start learning the track before I end up in the sea

Going to need to be polished out unfortunately. Being so close to the windscreen washer, that will be a fun one too!

As far as I know, its just the downside of having a 'beading' LSP as opposed to a 'sheeting' LSP. As you've said, its where the water angle is so high that it 'beads' and then just sits there. There are certain LSP's that still protect whilst sheeting, but I really cant recall any - cos beadz r...

Few little bits to do to the straight line missile: New front pads Full service, including plugs which arent all that fun in the 140 Brake fluid change Mot Clean track wheels All being well, that should be it in prep for CSF! Oh, and its absolutely desperado for a proper proper clean.

Ive always used the Carchem fallout remover. Not the best in terms of reaction, but the price is so good that it more than makes up for it. Ive got 25L in the garage

Also meant to be good stuff, so no dramas. In truthfulness, I only ended up with Smart wheels as the AS man turned up and I'm weak, very weak 😬🤣

Simply put, they don't need it! The Ferrari I do has carbon ceramics so anything other than PH neutral stuff is a huge "no, no". And the Porsche I do is so frequently looked after being me that the wheels are always protected. It's just a "do I need to use this product" kind of situation...

Ive been using Smartwheels from Autosmart recently. Non-acidic and actually does a really good job. I bought it for some of the more 'minging' cars I do, once in a while, and it wont be going anywhere near the higher end stuff. However, its good! Very dilutable and effective.

No mate! In all fairness, it's a bedroom TV. Alright, the fire stick is plugged in but it's no sky box or whatever. So maybe I'm not the best person to ask. However, it's been relatively flawless for me. A couple of minor issues that I'm willing to overlook based on the age of the TV: The...

Henry is surely the logical option then? I picked up a 120v Henry refurbished by some council estate fella for £65. It's been through the pits and it keeps coming back for more!

The Charles is the wet vac right? Do you need the wet vac element or just a hoover?

On the dusty front: Ive definitely had some LSP's get dusty more quickly than others. But actually advertising it as 'dust repellent'...hmmm. Not so sure on that one. There must be some science behind it, or else they couldnt advertise it surely? Or is it a bit like the duration thing - '6...

So, finished a big one the other day. Chuffed with the results (as was the customer!). Full machine polish with coating (inc glass). F Type Jag, Supercharged V8 and the rare RWD model. BRG over cream with the optional bucket seats (Spec was off the charts actually). Lovely lovely chap...

I distinctly remember reading something about this, although I believe it was defined as being more specific to Germany. Theres an element of modesty about it. Owning a brand new car is seen as 'showing off', is how I understood it anyway. Keeping older cars is a more modest way of living as...

Not sure on your levels of "detailing" abilities so sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs. C4, having used it a few times, can go wrong. Prep is key. Almost neat APC scrub, rinse, dry, panel wipe (if you have it), let that flash off and then apply C4. Grab a couple of cotton buds too as there...

@Yarp have you thought about a coating on the skuttle? Gtechniq C4 is ace for that kind of thing. Can do it in situ and it lasts years. Big scrub with some apc first, rinse, dry, then apply and level after. Its amazing stuff Also, absolutely love how you immediately resort to violence when...

Thats what i thought! Then again, we dont know the circumstances. It might just be some utter beater that gets its wheels properly washed twice a year. But, yeah, not a chance ill be going in neat! I have got 2 proper rotters coming in over the next few weeks so ill give it a go at 1:3 and see...

Nice, thanks for the heads up. The AS rep told me he tends to use it neat on his wifes car after a blast with the pressure washer. I wont be doing that. Iirc the bottle says 1:3 so ill dilute that way to start with. As I told him, I dont tend to work on minging cars that often so I wont be...

Yeah, im gonna give that a swerve I think @imprezaworks Im sure its fine, but with some of the motors I work on, I just cant take the risk. Same way id never use TFR. Annoyingly, after a reasonably big purchase from In2Detailing (Coating, mini rotary, rotary extension kit and some other...

cheers! Remind me, why this over the BH stuff?

@imprezaworks whats the name of that snowfoam you like now? Its the BH Autofoam equivelent?

For reference, this is the main area of concern. Highlighted yellow (kind of). Stock Google image and it's hard to see. But it's ridiculously tight in here. Almost a 45° angle. And, of course, being a sill it's swirl city so going at it by hand isn't a torture I wish upon myself 🤣 To get...

Cheers guys. I think I've made my mind up. I'm gonna grab the mini shine mate rotary and the extension kit for it. That takes me to nearly £200 anyway. The extension kit is amazing. Perfect for getting into tight areas and badges etc. that's the main reason I wanted one anyway as the tight...

Thanks Kev. Id love a rupes but I just cant justify the price. I only do 1-2 corrections a year at most so its just not needed. The shinemate is £200! For what its worth, I think im going to grab the mini shinemate rotary, purely so i can grab the mini extension kit so I can get round all the...

What makes you say that particular one Dan? Any play time with the forced rotation DA's?

I guess my first question should have been rotary vs DA Ive never picked up a rotary, let alone polished with one.

Morning chaps. Just had a job accepted for a polish and coating on a new F Type Jag in BRG. Stunnnning colour. My ancient (10+ year old) CleanYourCar DA (Probably a DasPro) is beginning to show signs of its age. Im looking to grab another polisher to go alongside it, especially with this big...

Oh god. Ive just realised we are sharing accomodation. Well. Fine. Time to nut up or shut up.

Ill f**k you right in the glove hole Marky boy
