    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I've not got much of the glass polish left, but plenty of flyby30 as very little is actually used to coat the glass.

    If you've not got any left, I have plenty. Sure I can spare enough so you can coat a rear screen.

    They typically judder when the residue hasn't been fully removed. A wipe down with ipa or a good glass cleaner will help. It will help keep the rear screen cleaner, with just raining helping to wash off what's left. Worth a try if you already have it. I'm not about this Saturday Ry so...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I tried a couple of the definitive waxes, 89 and synthetic editions. They were nice to use again, very well presented but aimed too much at the higher end of the market. They had a very quick following of fans that quickly burst when they reacted so badly at another claim of re branding...

    2 versions of Serius is the show wax I believe. They are all the same price, so I just chose them on longest durability as it's a big factor for me. Ant, planning on keeping the hydro for topping up over winter. Been lazy lately and not done anything I planned. Was hoping to get at least one...

    everything about it reminds me of Vics concours. Keen to see if it comes close to its claimed durability. I can see the samples selling well as it's more a price people will be willing to pay to try a new wax.

    they were both very nice, easy to use and removal. Didn't look bad on silver either, but hoping to see the full affect on a deeper colour next use. Initial beading and sheeting seems very good but will tell there performance after a couple of washes. Maybe pick up a couple of 50ml samples as I...

    its already been said that clay like that shows a poor wash and decon prep in the thread. But it looks cool and shows how much cr@p you get off the panel if you can show clay like that so its worth messing up the paintwork!

    What's the best wax and car shampoo to use?

    Welcome, will keep an eye out for you as I'm regularly out your way. For someone new to getting into it I think the AF sampler kit is a great way to try new products. http://shop.autofinesse.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=148

    Slight change of plan for my winter prep, received some samples of Black Magic Details Helios and Genesis waxes. Used them both tonight on the golf on bare prepped paint and were very nice to use, Helios reminded me an awful lot of vics Concours, with Genesis like AF Passion. Will get a 2nd...

    Depends on the sealant as some, like Toughcoat, aren't really fussy about what they sit over. What we're you thinking of using instead?

    ALMS Porsche Crash.

    My first thought, why isn't the camera man round that barrier with the marshals checking the driver is safe instead of back to his camera? he had no idea if the driver was safe / conscious etc but more important to film what may pan out.

    it all depends on your belief of what a snow foam can do. many on DW confuse actual fact with persona opinion. if you think its going tonbe a touchless wash you'll be dissapointed. use it as a tool to remove the worst of the grime as it will typically soften a lot more dirt than pressure rinse...

    Avalanche isn't a thick shaving foam and won't dwell all that long but still seems to break down the dirt pretty well

    The whats your favourite wax thread

    My car does ave 500miles/week, parked outside close to a row of oak trees, driven in and around building sites everyday. Even the hardy AG HDwax struggles to keep its durability claims of 6months. But I'm aware my cars are probably given a harder life than most so expect it to fail sooner...

    durability when only talking time is part of the storey. how many miles will you cover in 6months? And where is the car kept, outside, garage Even colli 476s will struggle to achieve 6 months in some scenarios

    This Nilfisk C110 seems a good deal but is it worth going for a more powerful model ?

    Re: This Nilfisk C110 seems a good deal but is it worth going for a more powerful mod It can often be found cheaper than that Check Argos and homebase as they often have it for £50 or less with their sale weekends. Think I paid £42 for my c110. Homebase often have a 15% weekend sale, plus...

    Foam lance problemG

    I presume it doesn't do it when lance isn't attached? I've only had this happen when the water feed hasn't been good enough and not allowing it to build enough or hold adequate pressure
