OK, LP is fine by hand. P1 however might be better. If you're open to other products, may I suggest the following; Wash Clay Wash Dry P1 or Lime Prime Blackhole Werkstat Acryllic Trigger

Lol, where did P1 suddenly jump from?

Yes because it contains a small amount of abrasives. I don't want to confuse you with any other products, but the prefered route for me would be Lime Prime, Blackhole, Werkstat. Purely because Lime Prime is a better product than SRP.

Do people actually write decent adverts anymore? Info on the brakes??

Blackhole is a glaze. No protection. Werkstat is a sealant. Offers protection. Hi x No. SRP>Blackhole>Werkstat :)

The Werkstat stuff is a sealant lad. So it negates the need for a wax. Waxes and sealants come under the umbrella of LSPs or Last Stage Products/Protectants. They do the same thing (seal your paint) but have different qualities and benefits. Sealants last a lot longer than most waxes. Waxes...

Do you think all detailers are as cautious/suspicious as you and I, Kev? Or is it just the number of threads I've seen entitled "I took it to BwaB and now my paint's fucked"?

That's all very well, and as stated before I am not jumping the gun as I know how many people have had excellent dealings with Steve over buying or selling cars. However, £50 for a detail is very low. My local garage would charge more. All I am suggesting is caution :)

Ho. x Spot on lad. The Werkstat Prime stuff is superb, as mentioned in other threads, for things like britework, doorshuts and other hard to reach places. I wouldn't do the wax on top, personally. Steve has a very good reputation as a car dealer... but for £50, I would worry about his...

You will be surprised how well you will get on with pads like that. There is almost always an angle that allows you to correct the area. Failing that, IP3.02 or 203s on a hand cut pad may be the only option open to you. In which case - linky

And just to add, it's the Werkstat Acrylic range you'll be after for Silver.

I don't use snow foam for agitation around badges and grills as I don't believe the product contains enough lubrication. Snowfoam, rinse, wash 2BM, use Megs HyperWash in a spray bottle for the difficult areas with a soft detailing brush, then move on to the usual.

You don't agitate snow foam buddy. And the wax will come after the SRP. SRP is a filler polish, so you're already filling some of the swirls. You could add in a glaze after SRP and before the wax, if you so wish.

No Recaros :( Good buy though, best colour (after IB, but they are a dime a dozen). I considered these before pushing my budget up to the S3. Really nice to drive and handle well :)

I can't buddy. If you are happy with the Z5, I see no reason why not to carry on with that. I like picking up second hand bits and testers from people so I can get through as many products as possible. Then I either stick or keep them, rather than selling them on again.

Depends what "cheap" brand it is fella. They do attachments for all and ***I think*** you can swap them over with a little bit of know-how.

Epic!

Re: Hi, remember me? Contains refresh content. IIRC Ste should be IronLungs.

Agreed, but still rocking it 'cos I'm 'ard.

You can f**k right off son! ;)

Re: Hi, remember me? Contains refresh content. Are you getting to that age where all your friends are passing on up to heaven?

Re: Hi, remember me? Contains refresh content. Oh? Now that's a tempting offer. Give me a buzz, I need a weekend off from the other half.

Spot pads lad :)

If you're talking hard to reach areas, I presume things like under the bonnet and door shuts? If so, look into Werkstat Prime/Prime Strong. It's a chemical cleaner that also lays down a decent protective layer. Awesome product for hard to reach areas where you just want to clean and protect, not...

Lol Richy, still says Aquartz in the FireFox tab and the I4D code starts AQ.... lol.

12 months ago I would also have agreed. Nowadays, I barely have time for the Panzer, let alone any others, so super sealants have become more interesting.

Ah OK. VW paint reacts well to 203s, so that is fair enough, but work in times might be longer with just a DA. I thought he fell out with P1... Hmmm. It depends on what you are trying to achieve, correction I presume with a machine and products listed above? If so, forget hand correction on...
