Should be waiting at home for me chap. Once bushes and suspension is fitted, wheels off clean incl either new wheels or refurb. Will post pictures! Cheers for the Pm btw :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn't understand this from the pm The other day chap. You're not doing anything wrong, and as we agreed, BTBM isn't exactly known for stripping waxes! I personally wax, leave it one week, then top up. Then top up every 1-2 months max and strip back every 6. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most people will write on here telling you to cover electricals, and they are right to as we don't want you ruining the car. However, it is purely to cover our backs. Most will have the sense not to aim a powerful jet of water at their battery. But some people will not! Therefore, the advice...

Should have DSG, being a 3.2 and although I hate automatics, that particular line is very impressive!

I live in a Stockport postcode - Sk. It's unsureable by Sky's standards and a few other companies as well. So ner.

Lol! Is the car modded? S3 costs half that and I'm only one year older with same number of NCB!

Lol. Not quite true is it.

Never a bad thing chap :)

They all last around the same time as Natty's Blue, which a; looks better and b; is half the price. They are not known for being hard wearing waxes, and while there are some very good products from Dodo, the waxes are not the strong point :)

Pipe down female driver. x

Personally only like the Super Natural wax, purely because it lasts. The rest of the line are far too expensive for the looks and durability they provide. However, most waxes look a hell of a lot better than colli 476. That's my wheel/winter wax if I feel I will not be washing for a long time...

Nice, I'll have your wheels ;)

Gays with unprotected wheels, the lot of you! Warm water with shampoo and a wash mitt. Did over 1,000 miles of Welsh roads last week, got home. Pressure washer took most off, quick once over with wash mitt and brushes and they're shooiiinny.

Hai. Clearly made with you in mind, Toby.

Glaze is basically a ... how the hell do you explain a glaze Richy? It adds depth. You apply it much like a polish, but it can contain fillers to mask any marks, like swirls and RDS. Just brings the colour out as much as possible.

Pre foam, wash, dry, clay, wash, dry, polish, glaze, wax. That's the order you need. You could add some clearkote Red Moose Glaze in there to add depth to the paint.

Daisy is very useful if you run out of a name brand product. I've used it many a time. Either or really! Surely that coats the metals, rubbers, plastics, paint work, belts and anything else in the engine bay . . . ? These all in one products are not worth the label on the bottle. You need...

When this; Goes to this;

Bumpers off? Ah those were the days of the Clio </3 :(

There are a multitude of products out there for this purpose. AutoGlym Engine and Machine Cleaner if you're a Halfords shopper, Meguirars All Purpose Cleaner, G101 from Autosmart and a number of others are also available. As above really, common sense prevails. Cover electrical parts and do not...

Lol, not surprised. Buddy I did the same when I first got the PC years ago. Spent three days over Xmas in the garage. Came out high from the fumes the EGP gave off! The Clio had never been so clean!

No worries. Personal preference plays a large part in detailing, as does experience. Don't change something that works for you, but it is sometimes nice to try new products.

And you wrote the above in a serious manner? LOL!

Lol Gray, you would. You should see customers' eyes light up when the snow foam comes into action! Pre foaming is ... fun. Not sure how much it really helps, over a good blasting with the pressure washer. But hey ho, it doesn't cost that much and every little helps!

Swirls are inevitable. Just a fact of life. The only way to avoid them is to foam, pressure wash off, then blow dry. But that won't clean your car! You can do a number of extra things; Use grit guards - means you're not swirling dirty, gritty water onto the wash mitt when you "dip" Sheet...

As this man says really, you can't go wrong with the Megs kit. By the sounds of it you tend to shop in Halfords? The kit is available there and contains all you need. The only thing I can suggest thus far is to build your stores, bit by bit. So get your wash routine down, then thinking about...

If it's plastic, 303 Aerospace protectant is a good idea. Depends how far you want to go, as with all these detailing questions! What's your budget buddy? Something like GTechniq C4 will be a permanent solution for any plastics. If it's painted, same as normal paint work chap :)

Not required. There were some results published years ago about that. 6 hours was about the optimum IIRC. Safe assumption though Toby, so you're not exactly wrong! Re the diffuser, what is it actually made out of?

CBA to check! <3

I thought that was the OP's product, a similar version to ONR? I'll be honest, I read about a seventeenth of the post...
