    cleaning, drying, waxing mitts?????

    Indeed wee lad. 3 buckets for the paint, one for the wheels, and one for the arches! Wash with Eurrow Mitt and a decent shampoo, rinse with the hose, then with a couple of watering cans of Aquagleam filtered water and dont bother drying apart from just the shuts and wheels.

    When rain stops play

    I would do 2 layers of the Jeffs AGT, and then add a layer of Carnuba the next time you wash the car.

    What is claying?

    How often it needs doing all depends on war you park the car etc, in some areas you may need to do it monthly if you live near lots of industry, railway lines.

    When rain stops play

    As Ali if the weather looks crap I don't even bother washing let alone anything else. If I did have to polish this time of year I would polish and then seal a wax a panel at a time. If it then rained I would re wash and then carry on after the rain.

    Rain X

    Inwash the daily hack once a month at the most at the most and it lasts ok between. I last applied it in October and got round to re-applying it yesterday as it had stopped beading. Sod washing the rest of it and just cleaned the glass as it was too cold lol!

    Orange

    I only ever comment that yours looks more orange than everyone elses! Looks good Mr Fubar - very clean. I can see loads of dirt on Pauls pics though - must try harder.

    wheelwax vs rimwax vs what do you use!?

    SRP ?!? I am shocked ;)

    Rain X

    Thats the one, use it on the daily drive and it holds up ok, not as durable as the Rain X - but I find that a right arse to apply with no streaks.

    Sonus Car Shampoo

    Not surprised it out performed Maxi Suds, most things do! Not tried it myself. In bulk you can't go wrong with Megs Hyper Wash or Shampoo Plus. On my 182 I use Duragloss, Sonax or Swisswax, and there is very little difference in them over the Megs ones.

    cleaning, drying, waxing mitts?????

    Lime Prime is nothing like either of the above! It is just a pre wax cleaner, lays no protection down like the SRP.

    Neighbour peed me off...

    Mine would have had Recaros, till I found out about the gash rear seats. If I decide to keep it I will be getting some.

    wheelwax vs rimwax vs what do you use!?

    Rimwax is fine as a one step product, that and the Wheel Wax fall down as they contain cleaners and can't be layered. Poorboys Wheels Sealant or Swisswax Autobhan over a AG EGP base for me.

    Rain X

    It works but is a right pain to use. Been using Duragloss Rain Repel on the front screen as it is as easy to use as a normal glass cleaner sprays, and then just wax the other glass as you would the paintwork.

    What is claying?

    Removes bonded on grime washing won't get off. Some people use it for Tar but you may aswell use Tar Remover rather than shear it off.

    Clay Novice

    Put your hand in a sandwich bag after washing you car and rub it across the paint anything you can feel on the paint that washing alone has removed can be removed with clay.

    182 seats bobbling

    A bit of topic - what mileage ? I only ask as I viewed a 106 GTi yesterday with 50K on the Clock and the alcantara was proper knackered.

    Clay Novice

    Microwave also works well at this time of year. Should need only need enough pressure to keep it in contact with the paint.

    Clay Novice

    Not one I have used so can not comment. Out of the other ones there I use the Megs Quik Clay Kit or the Sonus Green.

    Clay Novice

    Clay will be worthy step then, after seeing all the look how shiny my car is after claying I need to add that disclaimer just in case! I make up a clay lube from car shampoo and water and also pre wet the panel first with a wash mitt and soap from a bucket. 2-4 capfuls of shampoo in a 500ml...

    Clay Novice

    One clay bar will be easily enough to do a whole car. Chop it into 3 parts, if the first bit can no longer be kneaded to reveal a clean face bit it and get a new bit. Same if you drop it. After - Use it also to do the glass and wheels after you have done all the paintwork. Well worth doing...
