Have to agree with Adammcunitdot on this one, Dave. The clips break very easily, so the whole bump strip off is the better/safest option.

Or use a trim restorer.

Lovely! Fella, are you around next Saturday at all? Popping over to see Rob and help out with some turving. Turfing? Grass laying...

Spray shack iirc. Good work too by the looks of recent posts.

Fairly certain these are irretrievable... best to paint or buy new (£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££) from Renault.

if it's grease, Tardis.

Nice pun. Yes, basalt black E46 tourer. Rock. Hard as. Menz 3.02 two hits refined with 85. 3M pads (yellow and blue). Rotary. DA can get te.

Criticism, 800 is way too coarse and it's unlikely you've been able to fully remove the score marks made my this level of paper. Positives, what a difference!!!! And the above point only really applies if you're anal on the detail side of things.

Or down in severity of cut ;)

Failed on Sunday. The Croydon one has run out with no idea when stock will come in.

Good new, Matthew.

Oh and I'd rather have this sort of thread, Adamm. and Tobias. It's the way I found out about the afore mentioned products - discussion and challenging my methods/products.

Hey, it's personal experience, isn't it. CP is a product that has changed my detailing habits. Very few products have done that in the 8 years I've been detailing (C4, GT windscreen products, Af's mercury metal polish...).

Depends on personal experience and budget. Tesco Daisy APC at circa £1. Megs APC at £15-20. AF Citrus Power Etc.

Disagree. You spend not a lot on HW and it lasts you yonks. Lance is £35. I know people spending that on buckets and grit guards...

G101 4:1 through the lance = grime and old LSP stripper. Done. Then decontam incl clay, polish, seal; done.

Agreed. HW clearly demonstrates the best dilution ratio. I use it for wash bucket, wheel bucket, snow foam and a general APC. It's also good as a clay lube. Wondrous product. CP pwns all for pre cleaning.

Engine and machine cleaner as Daniel has said, brushes and then rinse with a damp MF, if you're worried about steam or pressure washing your bay.

That we agree on. Hence being disappointed by Avalanche not having the same cleaning properties as CP.

I understand. Just not sure others in this thread do! My car hasn't been polished for months. I still prewash. It will stay swirl free for months because of this. As Aleksandr would say, simples.

Hardly. No offence, but with that statement, it's more likely you've not seen the impact it can have on your wash regime. 2BM your car and look at the rinse bucket. Then take the same level of dirt on the car, prefoam/spray with AF Citrus Power and pressure wash off. Then wash 2BM and I...

Confused by your first point being about how clean you get your car, in that case... And again, it's not a case of caked in mud. Or just polished. It's anytime you wash your car. It's there as an added stage to remove as much grime before you touch the paint.

It's not a product to get your car spotless though... It's a pre cleaner to remove dirt to minimise the risk of marring your paint. There is a reason for it. And some do work. Depends how anal you are or how bothered you are at having to correct your paint work each year.

Yes. Also matte paint not shiny enough? Only ClioSport.

Sadly not, but trials on DW have shown 1:1 with water still works pretty well. Spray and aggitate/move around the wheel with a brush is the best bet to get good coverage. But it doesn't have contaminant removing properties, so is just a cleaner ergo it is not a fair comparison...

Something like this I'm guessing; http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/dust-storm-brings-saharan-sand-to-the-uk/ Pressure wash it off.

How many miles purr hour does it go with that mod?

As above. If you want to darken the plastics more than back to original looks, paint them. If you want them to look "factory fresh" do it properly with GTechniq C4.
