Re: HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Machine_Polisher.html http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/cat_68.html these are all decent machine polishers, so I'll leave it to you to find one local to you BUT, before you go anywhere near...

3x 1l citrus power from Polished Bliss in the 3for2 Plan on using plenty of it due to reasons above

Daisy or another generic APC from your local supermarket. TBH the majority of the AF range is very goog and hard to ignore at 3 for 2. I keep getting as far as my basket with 3x citrus power

Our local Tesco has them in store, about a dozen by the main entrance

without knowing exact details of the product is is hard to comment, but generally these products are only as good as the prep, which in most cases is a wash and dry, apply.

C1 is C4 is C5, same products different labels to get round you applying to your bodywork and getting it wrong I think

go for tardis or oblitarate over AG tar remover, check out polishedbliss for stock. GT C4 is the same as C1/C5 but most places were out of stock IIRC, as a non permanent alternative try revive. GT T1 for tire shine gets my vote. and if you're looking for more snow foam, have a play with citrus...

My Nilfisk doesn't appear to have the option like the Karcher's do for a separate hose pick up to feed from a bucket, but as I said in another thread anglian water are trying to bring out a clause that bans pressure washers for domestic use also. I could use a watering can, but with the ban...

I don't have the space for any real water storage. I did wonder about the nano monkeys and these shampoos, so I'm going to try and adapt gwash and lather to rinseless washing

do you want a sealant to sit over a glaze or happy onto bare paint? long term durability or ease off use?

Mr. Fox http://i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Unigrit_Finishing_Paper_1.html

however much I love these cars and wish I still had mine, you could rebuild one from scratch with OE parts for far less money and huge more enjoyment.

I'd recommend finishing with some finer sand paper to help yourself out. maybe try 2000 or 3000 grit

I'm guessing OCW is an optimum product, but can only find Optimum Car Wash? never used any waterless / hose less wash before. but reading into that it says 'traps dirt and grime and rinses with cold water' the idea was not to rinse with the forthcoming hosepipe ban. Or have I missed interpreted OCW

as it says on the bottle 'No hose, no waste - just wash and dry.' this super concentrate utilises premium polmers and gloss enhancing additives (not what I originally read on there advert) I have to say I have never not enjoyed washing my car so much as I just did now using HFE. My car: silver...

dodo authorised detailer for those not sure I've been trying to think of a suitable come back but I've hit bottom, no witty come backs tonight

I have the c110 3.5 and it does the job, not the greatest for creating a really thick foam but not bad. it can generally be found for £50-£60, £45 for a snow foam lance that I very rarely use now, more so with the hose ban coming

unfortunately I bought without asking, so ended up with yellow, orange, green, white, black and red 6" pads, and the above 3" pads. I use black for finishing generally

Looks like your a D.A.D:rasp:

I went for orange, green and black Hex spot pads, the black is very soft and have used it for finishing and glazing

Don't recognise that user name

if it stops you from buying the wrong products or making a mistake on the paint then it's worth it. I picked up most of my knowledge off here from and the likes of JD ;), Gally, Toby, Rich and Paul to name a few.

awesome Russ I'm very surprised at the glow it's giving off considering you used a sealant. is that acheiveable from Z2 or is it the CR over the top?

I've never had an exhaust bad enough to worry about, so I just used what ever I had available which would normally end up being smartwax rim wax as it was so terrible for its original intended purpose

nice order!

Mad Ad IIRC but I always consider the need for wire wool a little extreme, granted he did the full length underside of the car

what did you think to mercury? worth it over the halfords options?

it's also mentioned in the cleaning guide sticky'd thread at the top of the section http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?576095-The-Cleaning-Guide

firstly what do you regard as polishing? what do you use? secondly, a lot of the look comes from the prep, and the most simple will be decontaminating. this being tar removal which is thrown up the car from tires and cars ahead, iron removal from brake dust, parking near metal work or railways...
