    prepping before foaming?

    It clings a bit better if the car is dry. It's a waste of time anyway - just get a decent degreaser and pressure wash that off :)

    What wax to get for this shitty turn of weather lol

    You won't need to clay again so soon, save that for after Winter in Spring 2011. Wax wise, for durability, you will struggle to better Collinite. Everyone goes for 476S, but my personal preference is 845 as it's far easier to use, and looks a touch 'wetter'. Another good choice for Winter is...

    Wax on glass

    3 cars mate, but you have to do them all at the same time. Once you begin using it, you have to use it all there and then... it's worth it though.

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    Give the metal polish a blast too... wow! Have you used Opti Seal? Totally off-topic... sorry :)

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    DG901 is good, but I like suds, and to get suds you need to use a LOT of it, at which point it begins to strip wax... the Optimum foams like a mofo, leaves an equal finish, you use far less and it smells nicer!! (Pears rather than Cherries!). Buy some, if you don't like it, I'll buy it off...

    mum is getting a new car... dimondbrite?

    As a product, it's actually pretty effective, and far more durable than most of the sealants out there. The issue you have is the fact that they charge £500 (or whatever) for their 'expert application', when the actual product costs about £40! Then, their 'experts' don't prep the paint...

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    Try the WheelWax stuff mate, it really is very good. Best of the blingy dressings, other than Pinnacle Onyx. Have you tried Optimum Car Shampoo? £28 for a US Gall. Best shampoo out there! I use AS Autowash on details though - £10 for 5L, can't go wrong!

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    I've been too busy with the fairer sex to worry about burning clearcoat, but I miss it, so I'm kinda back... for a bit! I see you've embraced Lime Prime finally... :)

    the car is mocking me!!

    Nowt wrong with G3, it's the same type of product as FCP and Power Gloss, just not quite as refined, and near impossible to finish down nicely with (it leaves its own marks and hazing/hologramming). For quick cutting, on hard paints, which you will refine, then it's fine, but no better (or...

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    To be fair I was testing about 10 dressings at the same time!! I was never keen on my own black Clio, it needed a bit more bling. I'll re-visit it, I love most of the Zaino range (except the glass polish and Z7 is average at best!)

    amount to charge?

    See you next weekend Steve :) As for price... correction has to be at least £100 to make it worthwhile. Although I do look after Steve ;)

    Nilfisk anygood?

    Brass pump, not plastic like Karcher.. 2 year warranty... great range! I have a C110 and an E140. Awesome units both of them. You may find the 5M hose too short though.

    Optimum No Rinse review

    You need to use it to appreciate how sophisticated this product is. It has a MASSIVE user base in the US and people have used it for up to 12 months without inflicting any swirls. I was apprehensive myself, and I'd not use it on a 'filthy' car, but for a mid week wash it's superb. Give it a...

    Wax on glass

    Or buy this badboy and have protected glass for the best part of a year!! http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/xtravue-nanofilm-professional-glass-treatment.php?manufacturers_id=60 Awesome, awesome product. Nothing touches it for glass protection. Mine's been on since Jan and still protects like...

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    It's the tits! Trust me, I have quite literally tried... them... all! Z16 for endurance? Really? Like most other water based dressings, it's gone after a downpour :( It does have a nice sheen to it though!

    Detailing advice!: Wheel cleaner/ window seal cleaner/ tyre dressing

    Blackfire tyre dressing is overpriced, there's no way its worth £20 a bottle! Something as good and longer lasting is this for £10: http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/wheelwax-extreme-black-the-ultimate-tyre-dressing.php?manufacturers_id=22 As for wheel cleaner, try and get some Autosmart Smart...

    Cleaning The Inside of Windscreen

    3M Foaming Glass Cleaner and a dedicated glass towel (like Dodo Mint Merkin) and you'll be sorted. Do it twice and week and keep on top of it.

    Migliore

    PB are expensive though - you can get it a fair bit cheaper elsewhere. I've tried one of the waxes briefly (Competizione) and the tyre dressing and wheel wax. The waxes never actually 'cure' so they remain 'wet' and are a bloody pita to remove, but the finish was superb. The tyre dressing...

    How Powerful Is Lime Prime.

    Lime Prime does just fine via DA, they do go past speed 2 you know ;) Of course, depends on the paint. It's all you need on Honda's.

    Whats this rotary like?

    Deffo Glasur on RB :)

    Whats the easiest wax to use.

    Best balance between ease of use and durability, for sensible money is Collinite 845. Or, if you have some wedge, any of the Swissvax's. For a better spray wax, look at Optimum Car Wax (V2) or something like Zaino Z8 (spray sealant)
