    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I say that about the uber towel, but I don't use one anymore. Replaced it with a woolly mammoth that I dont really rate and finish off with the cheap red lined blue towels. Will get another with my next i4d or PB order. Referring back to iron removers, I was pleased to see a while back that...

    Clay bar.......Not to sound like a tard but

    You can use a strong shampoo dilution as clay lube Best bet is watch youtube videos on how to do. Lube up the panel, keeping clay flat gently rub it over the panel adding more lube, and regularly turn or fold over the clay to a clean side. Rinse panel and dry. If you have tar on the panel...

    Clay bar.......Not to sound like a tard but

    Use a tar remover after washing before claying or you'll be there hours, pick up loads of dirt on the clay then continue to rub it round the paint further. Plus it will take a lot longer. A wipe down with a tar remover will speed up the process a whole lot.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    My work runabout isn't even the pd engine, the older Mk4 Golf 1.9 tdi 90bhp FTW! comes with knackered flywheel that vibrates so much when coming to a stop people think it's miss-firing. 1999 so tax is done on engine size on C02 emissions, £225 FTL I forget sometimes how tuneable to VAG lumps are

    Which one would you recommend?

    How often and how dirty is the vehicle going to be done? I personally have only used avalanche and it cleans pretty well. this may help your decision, as it says that hyper wash is best suited to lightly soiled or regularly cleaned cars...

    Very boring! friend has one with the flappy paddle / tiptronic box and makes it more so. Roads were too busy to try out the handling. But it got up to speed much quicker than I expected.

    A3 1.8T standard couldn't match a 182 on many occasions. 320d must be really lazy. 330d was quite impressive

    The week long Waxathon competition - a Waxstock special

    It's not only CS they haven't replied on, it's the many forums they are part of. If you don't like to wait, don't enter, simples. You'd rather they don't create free comps for everyone to enter because sometimes, you might have to wait a week?

    The week long Waxathon competition - a Waxstock special

    Have they replied in the main thread over on DW? As I haven't seen it, now I wouldnt have thought they'd want to ignore that section either? They seem to attend a lot of shows, as well as running a product and detailing business, maybe they are busy and should just forget about the whole...

    Gaz; 1200HP R32 GTR

    However impressive that is, surely it won't be any good as a street car? Pulling onto the bypass, little throttle in 3rd to join the traffic, all 4 wheels light up as it comes on boost.

    It's probably a little better than rimmers wax special formula. You'll get better protection just using neat C2 on bare paint

    as above, try decanting it in a spray bottle to make applcation a little easier. It will work just may require doing a panel a couple of times

    Is this a bargain or what??

    Is this a bargain or what??

    Would you really need that much, considering I use 100ml per 1l bottle, that normally gets through 4 cars at a high mixture rate, it would take you 1234 years to make a dent in that. Plus regular use of a tfr I'm sure would not be good for the paint, plastics and rubber. Have a look at...

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    Meh, I'm a grumpy old b@stard ;) Comments taken on board For removing the paint spots, look to get a firm or hard clay rather than the softer ones as the softer clay wont pick up or remove the paint as easily. But the softer clay like that from meguiars or autoglym found in halfords are perfect...

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    Calm down mate I asked a simple question, if you'd asked advice, and not permission, we all would have said that the black die in tcut doesn't last, tcut is very harsh and will need refining afterwards, and that strong clay removes paint and overspray, without causing as much damage to the...

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    I'll give it 2 washes before your shampoo washes out all the black dye and fillers from the T-Cut and it looks like you've never applied it. What's the need to use something so coarse?
