So I hear!
All about the Gtechniq C1 now though, doubt ill ever touch my waxes again. Just applied some to my front quater today so we shall see how it does. Im pretty sick of the durability wolfs gives on high pickup areas.
Right the paint stick from renault looks nothing like my colour. Even the stone chips are a shambles its so discoloured. Its also a pile of steaming s**t, I blasted the touchup paint from the chips with my pressure washer today. Ive now ordered 100ml paint from paints4u as this s**t is ment to...
They all look the same to me. Its about gloss retention and durbility. Best of show was piss easy to use. I got a pot when VAT was down so it was £120 but I certainly wouldnt pay the asking price for it now. The fresh waxed look lasted a long time, but it wouldnt bead after 1-2 washes. Still...
Im sure, all about the experience isnt it. besides, I needed some chips touching up so ive done those along side it.
Woke up New Years Day to find someone had kicked my car door, so ive got that to spray now too.
Thats what you get for parking in the poor area of Hull. f**king utter peasants.
Id sooner use rej, iirc its cheaper (might be wrong). Also get lite, the regular has abrasives in it and if you dont work them in properly they leave shitty marks.
Right ive had a crack. Paint is layered up now, taken me most of the day, not sure thats long enough between coats but whetever. Ill get some pics up once its been sanded and what not.
How long should i leave it for?
need a section of my front bumper spraying anyway so ill get that resprayed...
Having used Jett in the past, I wouldnt bother with a detailing spray. I know people rate them, personally I dont. Besides, Jett is so piss easy to apply Id just re apply that instead when youre ready, its the same process, spray on wipe around then wipe away excess residue. No bullshit curing...

POS? As in Piece of s**t. Seriously my Karcher is only 110bar or something so not v powerful and that gets the thick off. 2 Bucket method gets most of the dirt off my sponge before dipping it back into the shampoo bucket.
Id sooner invest in G101 & a lance instead of snowfoam too. I honestly...
What you need to remember with snowfoam is, snowfoam wont remove all the dirt so youll have to wash anyway. Bit of a gimmick IMHFO. If the vehicle is well protected a quick pre blast with the pressure washer will do the same job.
It is good for removing polishing dust after a machine polishing...

Just seen them mate, Honestly? I expected more from it beading wise. Obviously sheets well. Im thinking I might try it on someone elses car or bonnet to begin with.
Ill try get a photo for you. Id say its a full 9 inches in length, maybe half of that needs paint, the other is deep laquer so should round off or be removed. I need some other bits respraying anyways so maybe I should have a crack at doing this and then just get it sprayed if its bad.
Dont get me f**king started. My last GF had a 3 series bmw (Only 17 lol) and the state that that came out in. OMFG. Scratches everywhere and dings. Never knew anything about them.
Now she has an X5 (4.8l 2007 model) at 18 and thats no different. The gates closed on the rear doors, and some...
