Which model have you got? http://www.northwestpowerwashers.co.uk/home.php?cat=429

Is there nothing else you need? I won't make an order unless I want enough to order plenty and get free postage, or atleast loose the postage cost. Or make an order with a mate and split it between you Carpro direct offer CS a discount code, or other stockists include cleanyourcar...

It's hard to beat vics QD for gloss, it simple to use as the best others. Fk425 almost evaporates into the paint a little like chemicalguys v7, albeit not quite as well. It's very slick more so than vics maybe more than prima slick and it's very cheap. I've got some D&D and mainly used it on...

My favourites are Auto finesse aqua deluxe Uber yellow from places like elitecarcare, polishedbliss, serious performance Britemax incRedible drying towel

How good is it as a QD? Good enough to use instead of reload for short term top ups or on coatings?

How well does it apply used directly as a QD instead of onto a wet panel?

@Ben- bilberry is quite an aggressive alkali neat. Dilute it as recommended by the man'f and you should be ok

@Rob If you have autoglym HD wax the. Use that as it's pretty durable and resistant. If not then britemax blackmax if you can find it under £40. Or one of the bilt hamber waxes. http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/britemax-vantage-wax-premium-carnauba-paste-wax.php...

The vics QD is quite nice. A nice glossy finish

Wonder wheels hot wheels is the purple version that has a mild fallout remover in it and is relatively safe Wonder wheels super wheel cleaner is the silver bottle is the acidic version. Actually works very well and I always keep a bottle to hand for those really grimey wheels that have never...

@Rob menzerna compounds and something like Hexlogic pads are a good stable place to start. Other option is 3m pads and compounds, minimal options but all bases covered. Elitecarcare also sell a sampler kit of the polishes to reduce initial outlay. Another option is the meguiars microfibre pads...

Have you got a glass polish or something like autoglym super resin polish? Maybe a mild abrasive chemical cleaner might help

One bottle is approx 120ml so should be plenty to do a megane a couple of times over

@RyG I've never needed any more than a QD wipedown on any of my bikes. Even after riding in the rain to the north Weald meet I misted it down with the hose, and detailing brush with citrus power or shampoo in a spray bottle. Give everything a good wipe down with reload or c2. After each ride...

Imperial is a general alkali based but neutralised pH wheel cleaner and no fallout remover. Iron out is the fallout remover. It depends on how bad the wheels are? How baked on is it? My advice give them a good thorough wash and degrease with strong dilution of shampoo and all purpose cleaner...

A wax and sealant do the same thing. They just have different names as ones typically a synthetic whereas the other a more organic recipe. The sealant topped with wax is more for a visual reason in my mind. Typically a synthetic sealant will last longer than a nice glossy wax. So top one with...

@Chrisgti6 how did you get on with the hydrofoam?

Enough for 18" wheels fronts backs and inner barrels and some left over to coat your exhaust tips and maybe a few other little spots. When you first apply it you'll think you need to apply more than you really need. You may not see it but it spreads incredibly well

Wash wheels as you normally would. Degrease. Tar remover. Iron remover. Wash again. Polish if you see fit with any kind of abrasive polish. Wipe down several times with panel wipe/IPA etc to remover any oils and residue.

Vantage is very nice to use but I wouldn't buy it unless it's reduced from the £40 RRP. A little more and you can get yourself a pot of zymol carbon and very much worth the extra. A little less and something like bouncers 22, Chemical guys petes 53 and Victoria wax concourse and collectors are...

Rob at gleam machine is quite highly regarded and I'd imagine fairly local for you

Quite an old one get iirc. Didn't they also test and rate pressure washers?

Ceriglass is a glass polish, can be used by hand or machine, but machine requires special pads as generic foam pads won't work with it. The water spots are an alkali based mineral within the water that has dried. Hence why most cleaners or recommendations are acidic. But you need to allow the...

Carpro sell a dedicated water spot remover. To work they need to be acid based so make sure you give it a good clean afterwards. Alternatively a proper glass polish rather than cleaner is another option. Carpro ceriglass kit has worked well on stubborn marks

looking at the new photos you applied by 3m rotary, that's what I'll be using. What pad?

Fugly little cars these. How did you find essence? Still not had a chance to use it yet. Any recommendations ?
