How much mixture do you use per car?
I mixed 50ml nanolex washcoat with 500ml water applied through the foam lance and had plenty left over after coating 2 cars
I4detailing are currently doing some group buys over on DW with the de nibber, hygrometer, valet pro advanced neutral snow foam, and britemax cleanmax

Tucked under those wheels I don't think the red / orange issue will be to much to worry about.
If you did change I think greyish silver calipers/ black lettering like some of the Clio's come with would be a good combo, esprcially if those wheels ever got refurbed in a nice bright silver as you...
3m Rotary and backing plates
Scholl 6" pads as I already had their spot pads
Now which compounds do I get? I've got coming a 100ml sample of scholl S17. I've used Menzerna compounds prior to the name update, had a little play with 3m compounds but not much.
If its bare metal that's affected, get some metal polish. Halfords should sell autosol and try working that before you go at it with drills and dremels etc. The least abrasive the better
Mine hasn't done either recently. One thing I did notice is how slick the paint feels, and has seen my hand slip of the tank or rear cowling when moving it. I'm sure on a bike it will last more than 6weeks
No idea never used anything as aggressive as they use. My friend used them regularly and they tarnished the wheels on his Seat Leon .
Have you got any mild polishing compounds to try and see it it's just residue on the surface?
Didn't get that one, but it's a product I'm interested in. How does it compare to reload as my SV is still wearing it over tripple since Aug / Sep time and only needs a rinse with the hose on jet
I use a diluted all purpose cleaner like tesco's daisy, or look at the recent details with autofinesse verso to clean interiors. I never really had the need to use any more than a damp cloth to clean the leather and alcantara
I'm in a hard water area and if lazy can suffer from worse spotting than shown in their video, but a wipe with a good quality QD sees off any staining. I know it can be worse with coaings but I don't think it's something I'd ever need.
Depends on the design, but 10ml GTechniq C5 coated the 4x 17" wheels front and backs on our Focus. Wheels can be found in my thread I put up about using a proper wheel sealant. The more you use these type of products the less you find yourself using
I used the finest grade wire wool with AF mercury and it did leave a fine haze behind on the stainless end can for my motorbike. Using mercury with microfibre just wasn't aggressive enough to remove the marks. In the end I now use a scouring kitchen pad as Daniel suggest. Really cleans well but...
Porsche looks nice, what base/prep did you do? Don't tell Kyle 86 it was easy, we all know what he thinks to AF waxes! Lol.
Keep me posted with the performance of BSD on your bonnet, and Kyle, as I'm interested to hear your thoughts
I've not found anything bar quartz coatings to actively resist the bonding of hot brakedust. Majority yes will wash off for a couple of months, but you will still see spots that won't be removed
Ha, reckon its do-able in a few hours lol. I'm sure there are plenty members that are closer that would be more than willing to come down and give you a hand
C2 almost works as well as G5 on glass, but not as wiper resistant. Does pretty on the rest of the glass
JHead, more than happy to head up and give you a hand one weekend if you've got a suitable drive / garage etc to get it off the road . Don't really do machine polishing on other people's...
