Never machined any BMW Sounds like you need T-Cut and mop it

​ planning on comparing it side by side with illusion. What's it like to apply?

Go on then, I'll take one. Pm coming your way

I appreciate what some say with the car is no cleaner after a proper wash and snow foam / pre wash. But in fact it makes the general wash much easier and quicker than washing without. That with the reduced risk of pulling dirt across the paint, regardless of how anal you are about maintaining a...

Any good quick detailing spray wipe down after wash and drying will remove general water spots

Sounds like you need to keep at it, slowly stepping down to finer grades and slowly removing the finer marks.

Leave it to dwell then rinse on paint. Only really need to agitate when using on wheels

pressure rinse the snow foam of to remove a good amount of dirt before washing. helps stop you further wiping dirt round the car. When rinsing after washing, then use an open hose as this causes the majority of water to sheet off aiding drying.

Been waiting to see pictures of this for a long time now. Awesome car

You writing a song there JD? lol Been using carbon a bit more lately, starting to find it difficult to justify the extra cost of Glasur at the moment

use a spoon and dig it out. once in the new pots you can mould it with your fingers. bit messy but works fine

If i wont be using it very soon after, everything is rinsed out in the sink with fairy liquid. Only bin them if they become dirty so that it wont wash out and i cant find another use for like on wheels etc.

Im only 5'8" so i need a little something to stand on ocassional. Yellow pages comes in handy

Halfords bucket, cut down grit guard. I have an i4d bucket with lid but rarely use it unless i need to polish a roof etc. as for needing to know between rinse and wash buckets you should be able to tell by the colour and suds of the water

Autoglym do a kit, I went for GTechniq w2 cleaner and i1 fabric guard

Could be both. Only needs a minute or two before removing in the shade. Warm or in the sun apply and remove straight away. If it's nor applied thinly it's a PITA to remove. Get it right and it's a great wax

Got an old sponge? Cut it up and use that. Works fine

Ha, a trend starting here. try your current setup then come back with what you think its missing or want more of. Purple haze is a pretty glossy finish

Coloured waxes will add add 1% to car colour. You can use purple haze on white and silver and not see any change in tone, and on all the coloured cars you've got there. Give it a go with the glaze on a panel of each car and I'm sure they'd look pretty good. it comes more down to what you want...

Think you need to read autofinesse's instructions on application and how they work. tripple is not a polish. It is a cleaner, filler and light protection. If used with a DA use it with the softer pads, in your case, the black pad. ​tough coat is wiped on, left to cure, and buff off.

Id say britemax spray and shine in bulk from i4d, followed by finale.

they do a new version 3 that is generally better and easier to use. Can by it direct http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c2v3-liquid-crystal/ All you need is a microfibre applitcator, spray once or twice over the applicator, wipe round the panel, do the same with a second...

it's a real crazy game, especially if those twins were still about

blackhole is fine on a white car. I tried a small bit on a silver panel and filled swirls quite well, didn't darken the finish. I only mentioned SRP as most people have it or know what it is. I was more referring to prepping the paint for the wax or sealant. If you don't like SRP, try...

I presume you have autoglym super resin polish? as everyone has a bottle somewhere. proper clean, de tar, clay etc. work in the SRP, maybe an IPA wipedown, then GTechniq C1.5 or C2. get a normal quick detailing spray for wiping down after intermediate washes, then once a month after a wash add...
