True, but the difference between G1 and G5 is insane. G1 if you're constantly on the motorway doing 70mph is fine, but most of us drive at 30mph to our houses at some point. So for the sake of a quick top up (and my God, it really is simple/fool proof) G5 would be my advice every time.

Likewise fella. Heard some good banter about the place, so looking forward to it. When's the next meet anyway?

At the moment, my wheels are a mess as I've not topped up the protection (FK1000p) for months and the DS2500s are starting to produce very hard stuck on dust. So I just IronX them when I get a chance as I had no way to clean them. At some point I'll refurb them, but at the moment, this stuff...

To the latter part of that post, I understand well! Although I feel better as I've just cleared out my shed from moving in two months ago. Chucked out so much wood, old tiles, random other stuff the previous owner had stored in there, as well as a load of stuff I'd brought with me from my rental...

Re: JDM Y0 - My new project **** PG34 - Crashed **** Christ mate, not again, just not your luck! Are you OK?

I know what you mean. I detailed dad's car over the weekend, so the R8 has taken over as the pampered car in the NW. So I need to buy all new stuff; Citrus, CarPro wash mitt, some new buckets and hyper wash, EZ brush etc etc. SHOPPING TIME WHOOP!

Sure it's brake dust and not tar? Worth going through the process of decontaminating the wheels fully (detar, deiron, clay, polish, IPA wipe down), then protecting them with something like C5. Makes them much easier to clean, especially after track days, even with performance brake pads.

Just realised I have an outside tap. Granted it's right at the back of my house, but no longer need to use the jet wash!! Winner! So AF Citrus Power and other bits will be coming soon to make up my Southern Detailing Kit. Fun times!

Try aggitating the spray/gel with a detailing brush. Multiple hits may be necessary.

;)

Make sure it is the purple spray bottle, not a box with a brush.

Can you send me some links, Kev? I thought I'd covered them all on DW but not seen that one. TBH, might have glazed over it. Cheers Don, but keen to see experience of it as well as most packaging/instructions are useless! Not poopooing your point, but if it does what most on DW claim...

Clayed, decon'd and polished?! So you actually can't remove it? Hmmmm.

Have you said something nasty about Heavenly Details or Kelly? ;)

Holy crap, Kev. Please tell me that was a Detailing World **** up?!

It depends on what pads come with it. Ideally you need a cut, finishing and glazing pad. I would wait and see what you get, as they will no doubt work well with the rest of the AF kit (the polishes) and concentrate on the necessity of spot pads (smaller pads for tighter areas - a must on...

It is in some Tescos. Weekend just gone was the first time I thought to check my local Tesco fuel station, having done a shop and not found it (large Tescos). Hence buying four bottles of it to last me. Depends how desperate you are for it. for a 10 mins search through a thread (can't find the...

I would tend to agree with Kev, and say IronX as a dedicated iron remover. However, having tried the Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels product over the weekend (a new-ish formula that turns red when it reacts with ingrained brake dust, not the brick acid wheel cleaner we all know and hate), I'd be...

Christ, time flies fella. I moved to London about the same time. If you're local to PB it's worth popping in to discuss and get some advice. IronX will remove contaminants in your paint (wheels are painted, as you know, so same applies, more so in fact due to brakes containing iron). There are...

Hmmm, you've moved lol.

Tar - Tardis from PolishedBliss (or a friend in the NW if memory serves you're from around my old area?) Iron in the wheels/fallout like the ash spots - IronX Both are spray on, wipe with a microfibre, when wash/pressure wash.

I honestly love your attitude, Danielsan. Here are some photos, fucktards; don't like them? Get shafted. That's how I read it anyway! All in a Brizzle, five half pints of exhibition cider from Corrie Taps down, accent!

Also, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want a surprise. If I'm worried about the cost of products, I'll buy samples from other members (Glasur) or buy and sell on (GTechniq products like C4).

;) Car looks superb. Perfect colour!

On a serious note, clean them up, IPA wipedown to remove oils, then seal them with GTechniq C4. http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/exterior-coatings/c4-permanent-trim-restorer/

HYPERWASH.

OP. Look into a decent hand cut pad, such as the Lake County ones that Polished Bliss sell. As has been said above, the simple answer is it requires more time. Either in the removal of plastics/trim/badges and then using a spot pad, or polishing by hand. I opt for the latter on cars I don't...

Only one guy in the car, Dawny. Short, aviators. And it was clean. Not OCD shiny ;)

Depends where you're applying it as well. If you have a garage get some lights on and an oil heater - should raise the ambient temp a few degrees.
