    Can't see there's a lot of demand for it myself, not often that detailing gear is up for sale. Can always put a thread up in the detailing section. What you got to offer?

    from the ones I've used autofinesse revive has proved to be very good for non permanent dressings I'd heard the bouncers were trim safe but wasn't brave enough to try

    typically no. there are some that are called trim safe, but this is more a case of you can get it on trim, wipe it off and it won't leave white stains. some trim dressings just make them look black, others actually protect them, and resist dirt. Im presuming your using autoglym bumper care...

    believe it's high alkaline, but it's wax / sealant safe. typically go for Ph neutral but there are exceptions. lol. citrus power has a similar ph to some oven cleaners but there is a lot more stuff behind the scenes in the make up that counts you wont be disappointed if you do purchase CP.

    I coated all my springs and struts in GT C2 before fitting, all they get is a pressure rinse. No idea if it's still performing but worth a try if you have time to kill. Completely agree with the comment on tough coat above

    Citrus power is pretty good IMO, but there are plenty of other PH neutral pre washes that can also be used if you're not looking to use it that often. Ref wheel brushes, EZ detail wheel brush or wheel woolies are by far the best. more expensive than the others but last longer and work better.

    using a brush will be fine with any kind of shampoo or wax safe PH nuetral pre wash. let this soak a little then pressure rinse to see if that helps. I've only got a budget washer so pressure isn't great so a pre soak is sometimes needed especially behind spokes or tight corners. The videos are...

    A little help please :)

    id give them 6months tops. any oils, silicones, anything that will interfere with the bond and it won't work. I'd always use tar and iron removers, and light polish then IPA or panel wipe to ensure 100% clean. then you've got to get application right, don't over apply, leave to long, allow to...

    A little help please :)

    Once you've used it a couple of times, you can get 4x 17" wheels done with 10ml. it is impressive stuff, albeit expensive for what you get. But if you don't get the prep 110% perfect it won't last more than a y other wax.

    Winter road salt detail - CTR

    Although a nice turn around, people's interpretation of filthy is interesting. With the current weather we've had, that's equivilant to a week of two's driving for me and the wife and both our cars are well protected.

    Ref side and rear windows, depends how much you open your windows and use your rear wiper? If you already have G1 you'll use so little compared to thefront screen you might as well stick to it. I've past 18months on both cars with a single layer of G1 on side and rear glass. other products...

    Yeah it was, bully. If I'm honest, I rarely pat dry anymore. care just doesn't keep in good enough condition regardless of my wash technique. owning a rubbish car is frustrating, but not having to worry about a dealer washing it and all the rest of it is a relief
