I've recently used AF Gloss for the first time and am suitably impressed.

Is that all scratched paintwork or paint transfer from the other car?

A bit of Werkstat Acrylic Jett over Blackhole. The ONLY good thing about summer rain...

Lol, doctor?

Might have to invest! At the same as more Tardis, some new wheel brushes, a new mitt, glass sealant, better trim restorer...

No mate, worth it? Would that fit in as a cleaner before Blackhole or instead of it? I'm quite tempted to try Amigo as well after everyone's been raving about it!

Not the greatest picture as it's the following day after plenty of rain, but my efforts from yesterday with Blackhole and then Werkstat Acrylic.

Cracked out the Blackhole by rotary as part of a big clean on the Beemer today - so easy to use and great results under Werkstat Acrylic.

Cracking results, I'm tempted to give Blackhole a go by machine on the weekend if I can secure a bit of indoor space...

Aye, they've been pretty slow at processing orders for quite some time now unfortunately. I never found it a massive issue as I tend to stock up once in a while with no urgency but, in such a competitive market, it's noticeable when other companies are so much quicker at getting orders with the...

Quite apt considering the proposal for moderation was only mentioned days ago, but can this be shifted into a new thread possibly?

I'm inclined to agree with the above mate. It would be great to see it finished but your life is getting busier and more 'stretched' which makes it unlikely. I love VX220's...

I've just been given one of these for my birthday, with a Ferrari 360, Aston Vantage, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche and Audi R8. Can't wait! Track options are Prestwold Hall or Long Marston - any idea which is better?

Awesome advice in a detailing forum...

Aye, probably better off buying one and then, if you really won't use it again, selling it on. They hold their value pretty well as they always seem to be in demand.

Don't know of a rep and Google isn't really my friend. Must been one in the Devon / Exeter area though...

Not sealed I don't think mate, I picked the car up a few weeks ago and whilst it's obviously been cared for, I doubt the previous owner went to those lengths. Plan is a good clean and decontamination and then probably just a few layers of Werkstat Acrylic as that's what I have in abundance!

Sorry mate, meant plain old car shampoo (AF Lather) which I just use to clean the wheels at the moment. Is it worth getting a specific wheel cleaner and, if so, which one?

Probably a stupidly obvious question, but is it worth getting a wheel cleaner like Bilberry instead of using generic shampoo, even if my wheels are pretty mint?

Ah yeah, it was the snow foam I was thinking of.

Didn't I read a write-up recently that didn't really rate the Iron X spray and soap gel? Didn't negate the need for using Iron X separately afterwards anyway.

Doesn't need much time to 'cure' but it needs a lot of elbow grease on tougher marks. Work a bit of SRP over a square foot of bodywork with reasonable pressure (you don't want the panels bending!) for quite a while. It's certainly not a wipe on and off product unfortunately. For noticeable...

AF Tough Coat can be used over Tripple instead of the wax mate. Won't get quite the same 'wow' factor but it will still show the paintwork off in a good light.

That's what I thought; you'll have to really work the SRP to get it to correct. You'd be better off using something like P1 if correction is needed instead of just filling.

Superb as ever mate, really considering investing in a day up in your neck of the woods soon to get a minor correction on my new car...

Will SRP before be any benefit? I'd always assumed that Blackhole would replace the SRP stage?

I found SN shampoo good but fairy expensive considering the alternatives available.

Very nice, do you think the black trim can be restored by hand or is it a DA job? Got the same issue on mine...

Lather is my new current favourite. I really need to get myself some Bilberry.

Aye, you only need to do it when the paint needs it which is going to be every 6 months or so. Same with polishing really. As long as you're washing fairly frequently and topping up a good layer of wax, you shouldn't need to do anything else on a regular basis. With the wheels, wax them too...
