    Your detailing blunders....

    My thoughts. That's another one to add. Not washing the car down properly after tardis. Bye bye Megs Mild Clay.

    Wax safe pre-wash

    RDS works like AFCP 1:1 with water. So I agree, if it's up at £6 it's not worth it. Think I did some sums a while ago...

    Wax safe pre-wash

    Aye, defo wax safe Kev. No worries, bought too many of the towels as well and not sure if you can get them locally, hence the inclusion of that for your thoughts as well :)

    Wax safe pre-wash

    I've not bought any for a while, so not sure what the going rate is. I know it's £6.99 in Halfrauds... £6 on ASDA's site IIRC...

    Your detailing blunders....

    Blunder? Ha! I'm god of this section. Squeegee to my mothers bonnet when I flicked paint on it aged 11.

    Stained Bird Droppings!! :@

    And of course, you'll grow some balls and pay up if the OP damages his paint with too much wet sanding? Hilarious. Get someone close by with a machine polisher. Wet and dry isn't needed for bird etchings.

    Regards to the number plate

    As above. You can then remove, wash and then as Craig/Cat171 has said, polish up the area. Suggest using panel wipe or IPA wipe down before applying the Velcro strips so you ensure a decent surface for them to stick to.

    First Full detail (Pic heavy)

    Oh and drying; once washed and rinsed, use the open hose technique to sheet water over your car leaving few beads of water (if the wax is any good). Then, as has been said, use a decent quality MF drying towel to dab the beads. Dragging (whether it be circular or straight dragging) inflicts...

    First Full detail (Pic heavy)

    As has been said, pros and serious hobbyists could make comments about products and techniques. But if I did, it would make me feel like a stuck record (and people would still not take it onboard). If it looks good to you, you enjoyed it and its given you a sense of achievement, I'd say that's...

    Dragons Breath

    Good to hear chap! In that case, clean as normal then use IronX on them. I say IronX as it seems most of the products released after IronX are not quite up to the bar set by the original product. This will remove all iron contaminants. So wash, dab dry (doesn't need to be bone dry), IronX...

    Dragons Breath

    As above, it's a fallout remover. What are you after, Lee? And how're you big guy - how's the BG182?

    Collected the JCW GP ...

    That's new and five k less. But I understand your point. Utter madness in my eyes.

    The Impreza picture and discussion thread

    I think I want a hawk eye. Similar to the blue one a few pages back. Loud, quick, look very mean. But the image stops me instantly.

    Collected the JCW GP ...

    f**k about, these (new ones) are £23-27k? Holy crap, who the hell buys them?!

    Collected the JCW GP ...

    Just seen a mk2 in Ambleside. Made me look, but only for geeky "I know what it is" reasons. Still couldn't own one. I bet they're a hoot, but too... Mini.

    Restoring/Protecting Black Plastic Trim

    C4 Dave. Seen 24 months on the Panzer. Not that you'll keep the bini that long haha!

    Rear Windows - strange marks

    Yeah as above, Clart. Sounds like hard water marks or something that will need a polish rather than a cleaner. Try some SRP as it's easy to get hold of. AutoGlym also do a glass polish that isn't too bad. For a couple of quid from Halfrauds, it should sort it.

    Yesterday's hard work..

    Have to say, Alex, the wheels look small and awful in that colour - sorry chap!

    Zaino z8 or Sonax BSD ?

    Over Tripple/C2 combination for example...

    c2v3 over wax

    A wax needs to gas. Once it's done this, topping with C2V3 is not an issue.

    Need a new wheel cleaner

    Ambiguous post is ambiguous (his, not yours pizza boy). Technically, it is a good wheel cleaner. And Purple Wonder Wheels is the Hot Wheels as there isn't another purple Wonder Wheels. Wut?

    3 Month Waxybox Subscription Group Buy! £40 all in.

    Re August or September start, is it just a case of waiting, Andy? Not received mine yet and having it delivered to work address (away from this PM for a week, so won't know if anything has arrived!).
