To remove swirls you'll need a polishing compound. Used by hand you need something that's quite aggressive but also finishes down very well. I've only used GTechniq P1 by hand to get results, but not found it work as well as the demo video...

I ordered ironx at the start of the week from CYC as they didn't have korrossol and they started stocking it mid week. I will be trying it next

There's a couple of flex DA's for sale on DW if you're not banned anymore

I hated the feel and unbalance of the EP. Vibrations on the pro feel better than the basic DAS6. I'll sell you my das6 pro, I'll do it for you as cheap as the flex and rupes equivalent ;) Have only used flex and rupes in rotary form but can't imagine the DA's to be poor quality

I've had both standard DA and now have the more powerful DA Pro version both from i4detailing and both pretty good machines. The more powerful machine tended to not bog down quite as much and I managed some pretty good correction from single stage polish on hard VAG paint. I'm sure you'll be...

It was marginally more durable than the standard soft wax ddj waxes I'd tried but didn't really meet the claims of a lot of people for me. Where's it on special offer?

That does suprise me a lot! Is it still resisting dirt fairly well and just water behaviour dropped off, or has it died off all together? Ps. sort out those headlights :p

You should see the state of our rear bumper, had the A4 estate since Oct/Nov. Have always had a full boot liner that folds out over the bumper, works rally well when the wife bothers to use it!

Is it a painted bin or a plastic wheelie bin? once the panel is clean try a bit of tar remover to see if it works on the plastic, if it's paint it won't work. Something mildly abrasive like SRP / Tripple should remove the plastic marks. If it is paint, then a firm / coarse clay should help...

My DA pro maybe up for sale soon as wel as my spare pads and compounds. plan on using it again this weekend to decide whether I keep it or pass it on.

The FG500 I had certainly wasn't very fine. I used it as a heavy cutting compound on a coarse pad. from the i4d site - 9/10 Abrasiveness

Neighbour has one of these new shape models and it's bloody ugly when sat next to his slightly older version. He even agrees himself.

No, as the name suggest, one is fractionally more abrasive than the other in simplist terms.

anyone seen the Farcela / G3 clay mitt? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_1021399_langId_-1_categoryId_255233 the rubber face looks a little coarser than my CG fine clay mitt looking at the website, will drop into a local store at...

was being tested long after tripple was released and IIRC it was being suggested that both products were best applied by DA.

Russ was trialling a glaze at the same time as power seal but never heard anymore than that

500ml of GTechniq C2v3

If it's just a routine wash there's no harm in a little rain. If it's not too heavy I'll give it a quick rinse then lightly mist with something like demon shine and watch it bead

Have you got the kit to give the paint a good decontamination first? Tar remover, iron remover and clay? This can bring back some of the gloss, but is a vital part to do before you go at it with the machine polisher If you haven't already got polishing compounds, but maybe something like...

What colour is it Jaff? Have one in volcanic grey I think it's called, look very different in certain light but can't decide myself what it looks best with

I couldn't look at a car and say that's wearing A or B. But I have different waxes or sealants hat I choose to use dependant on the colour or finish. I washed and sealed a friends black, one side wax the other side a sealant, and when he came back to collect it he could tell a difference...

RyG no I haven't, the new version of soap gel is supposed to be decent through a lance or pump spray bottle

The microfibre madness wash mitt or sponge are very good imo Ant, any limit to what else we can order from Carpro at the same time? As regards to application for the nanolex washcoat, it can be either by hand, pump sprayer or foam lance. Chose the lance as I can conserve how much I used...

Ant have you tried the nanolex washcoat yet? Seems to be working pretty well so far, paint definitely feels slicker since applied

I have a basket waiting with CYC but I don't want to order. I could order else where but would mean multiple orders from different places and mutliple postage.
