good effort mate, cars come up nicely. But if I may suggest... I personally don't bother drying the car after rinsing before I de tar / de iron / clay, as it will help the products not to dry out and initially add some extra lubrication to claying, so just wash, rinse and go straight into it...

GTechniq C5 works pretty well, and you can use the rest to coat your wheels

you've missed the biggest question out..... You've now got nice fresh clean wheels, and no mention of sealing them to keep them clean and stopping all the brake dust from pitting the finish. Get onto the detailing sub forum and search for wheel sealant. GTechniq C5 being your best option...

I cleansed and sealed my father-in-law's Jaguar XF as we were going to use it as our wedding car and told him he wasn't allowed to touch or wash it till after the wedding. I saw him a few weeks after the wedding and he was washing his car with a washing up bowl, strong dilution of washing up...

Glad it all arrived ok. Still have the supernatural hybrid wax and EZ creme glaze up for grabs;)

Is the CAT removed also? as this made my RS192 quite boomy at at 3000rpm.

pictures of said paint would help. it may be that the clear coat has dulled or hazed from numerous scratches etc

Not entirely accurate. My premium went up for LY over other standard colours due to the cost of respraying. The limited number of cars will put a marginal premium on resale costs. Maybe speak with Steve of R-Sport cars for an independent evaluation and see if he can offer any help At the end...

I've been meaning on dropping in at AF before they leave Essex to get a few bits, the glaze is a perfect excuse as I'm still not wowed by EZ creme

quite interested in the new glaze. is it a similar consistency to the sealant and best worked by machine?

1st of all you need to get your wash method right before you even consider other products, read the stickied threads at the top of the section and pre washing, 2 bucket wash method, correct drying and de contamination. once you're up to speed with that then look at products such as cleansers...

£140 at buy one get on free? yes you would have to buy bits separately to get some of the more expensive bits free. I've just created a basket online and it came to about £90 - £100 as it gives you the cheapest items free. buy it on a couple of trips and get it cheaper. that

TBH mate if you're on a strict budget get down to Halfords with there BOGOF offer. Get a shampoo, wash mitt, drying towel, tar remover, clay kit, SRP, HD wax, QD spray, MF cloths and applicators, wheel cleaner, tyre dressing, glass cleaner. meguiars and autoglym are fine for getting you started...

if you want a paste wax type sealant, 476 / fk1000 / AF mint rims. or a spray sealant like Gally said for the ultimate wheel sealant as mentioned in a lot of threads recently.................... GTechniq C5

1st off, get reading through the sticky's at the top of the section to get an idea of technique type of products and routine if you want an off the shelf all included kit it's going to be a bit more expensive, have a look through some of the kits on here, register and you get a discount IIRC...

Please listen to this, DO NOT BUY rim wax! I only use it to clean up exhaust tips in a bid to use it up and not throw it away. My choice would be the HD wax over DJ, just get the hang of putting it on in thin layers and you're sorted.

when I 1st used it, I was using maybe a 1/4 of a 15ml bottle so say 3.5ml per wheel. I was using way to much. Now I'm down to maybe 1.5 - 2ml per wheel.

sorry mate but that advert doesn't tell you what it is. a polymer something? tyre something and glass cleaner or sealant something? get onto the detailing sub forum as this product instantly says scotchguard / lifeshine type random products that are all pushed by dealers, then generally fail...

price wise, £20 for an ez detail wheel brush, which I think is a lot but it certainly works well, £38 for 3 isn't too bad
