use something like APC or diluted IPA on a MF or cotton bud and keep working

I'm not a fan of RB one bit, but those pics make the paint look very wet with good depth. should only be working an area of 18 - 24" square at a time. 2 - 3 peas size blobs of polish on the pad and work it until it hazes clear, somewhere between 3 and 5minutes. Search through the videos on DW...

I hear most of his day is drinking tea and taking photo's anyway, doesn't take too much time really, not much to it. Any billy with a buffer can get just as good results ;) Awesome work Russ, just goes to show the level of work when someone asks you to do a car like that

never had any experience with that one

citrus power for your own clio, then any APC for the other lol

if suing both, would you be better off using a dedicated cleaner like prime then instead of rejuvenate with amigo over? How strong is amigo at cleaning? is it likely to remove the oils put down by rejuvenate or other pre wax cleansers

rejuvenate does do a little filling but nothing compared to amigo I'd imagine. But doesn't amigo have a certain amount of cleaning ability any way? may be best to use one or the other

the pics of my Silver Golf, blue Focus and Focus wheel were taken after approx 3 - 4 weeks of driving in the snow and grit. The Golf I used a pressure washer to rinse it off, the focus as it was wearing a fairly new layer of spirit I just used a normal garden hose and it easily removed all mud...

citrus power is very good at stripping dirt, have a look at AF sub forum on DW for there recent thread with pics. and it is LSP safe, I use it quite reguarly on the lower half of the car. the problem with it is it could become quite expensive if used on a regular basis as the spray head sprays...

HD is a very good bargain wax IMO. apply it 1 panel at a time, and buff off almost immediately. The thinner the better, it''ll take half an hour - hour to apply and remove but is very durable and beads well. I just almost managed 6 months with 2 layers. seems to work over most things as well

what AG products did you not find give good results out of curiosity?

where did you find a sample of glasur? have been looking for ages

Shopping in halfords, high street stores etc stick with autoglym SRP with HD wax. ordering online, autofinesse tripple topped with any wax or sealant, have a look at AF tough coat or werstatt jett kit for pure simple application and good durability.

What do you use now? whats your budget? Hand polish or machine?

it's entirely up to you. will you be aiming for 100% corection? if so then you won't benefit from the filling capabilities, but it may still add something to the finish.

Foam : AB magnifoam or AF citrus power pre wash Shampoo : AF Lather Clay : Meguiars Polish : menzerna 85 RE / SF4000 or AF rejuvenate Glaze : undecided on a true glaze, AF tripple for the time being Sealant : AF Tough Coat Wax : AF Desire or Victoria Collectors yellow Quick Detailer : Britemax...

lovely job there! changing the LSP on the golf already? what happened to the CR and wraith?

did you do the whole lot in C5 or was some of it kept with FK? I would go with 476 as I have it already over FK. Use it on my mountain bike and seems to do a fair job. not quite the inner arches though.

I've never know a tyre last 4 years, even on my 2nd car when I had 2. What miles are you doing?

I had a play on the AF training day. Although better it wasn't the step up in performance you get with rejuvenate. It cleaned up a pink single stage paint bonnet with ease

get rid of the red

the Mk2 Clio has really stepped down to affordable chav wagon

If your using a wax over, I can't emphasise how much improved the car looked with AF tripple, IMO better than EZ creme glaze and I've not find it affect durability in any way. I'm yet to use any other glazes.

what are you cars sealed with at the moment?

depends on the style of the rims really, some have managed 18/19" if they are of a basic shape. are yours the 5 spokes or more intricate. the simpler the design the easier and less you'll use. Also I did inner and outer rim and spokes. I think they add a little bit of gloss, but they maintain...

durable and cheap AG HD wax. DJ supernatural hybrid looks a bit better but doesn't last quite as long but same sort of price. Again thses are waxes that I used myslef on my LY 182 What will you be using as a base to put the wax on top of? as that will effect it

the colour charging of the DJ waxes didn't really have a great impact on my LY. I really liked Vics Collectors yellow though http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/cat_60.html Vikan brushes are pretty good IMO

but why though, this is what I've been trying to find out. IIRC all C1/4/5 etc are very very similar, so surely C1 could withstand indirect brake dust? therefore I could try C5 on the bodywork? I can't find what benefits one has over the other

I've used half my 15ml C5 bottle to do 2x 17" Focus wheels, so should get the 4 done with a 15ml bottle unless I do something wrong. you don't dilute it I can't decide between C1 & C5 for the struts, still hoping Rob of GT is going to reply to my thread on DW
