As above really! I don't use Flickr that much and always upload pics to my photobucket account for CS and other websites . . . so wondered, like with facebook and Flickr, if there could be a photobucket, instant upload icon?
TBF I wash mine after pretty much every use/detail. So when they get to the stage that they just don't clean, I do just either use them for wheels or throw them lol!
It actually breaks the bonds that create the static electricity, thereby destroying the effect.
That is true of fabric that towels are made of, not MFs :)
Hand wash, hang to dry. It's bloody boring but worth it.
Don't be so silly. I burn £20 notes. £50's make me look cool on a night out...
FF is very light. I find it actually takes quite a while to work in as well. Really does finish off the paint work nicely and contains no fillers, so will do exactly what it says on the tin!
Destroys the weave and also kills the charge (static charge helps dust etc to stick to the cloth, making the cloth lift up the contaminants rather than push them about).
The very simple answer to those points is not everyone is a car detailer.
Think how many people out there want to wash their cars. Now think how many are bothered that there are scratches in the paintwork that can only be seen in direct sunlight and under certain lights . . . not many.
If...
If/when I minor swirling, I will either use FF or SRP. If I am just getting rid a of the layers of wax/sealent for reapplication after say 6 months I would just use FF as there are no filling agents in it.
Applicator pads fella, all the way. The megs ones sold in halfords will see you right.
The tardis stuff is good, but tbh, if it is light paint/only water based, Auto Glym Intensive tar remover will shift it, again available from halfords.
No no no, Russ, it's awful stuff if it's the same thing that I bought years ago. It seems to have polishing abilities as well and we all know you can't do both!
FFS just looked at your location, you are about the tenth person that I could come see when I visit Pete in Bristol, might take a week off and just do all CS users cars in the SW!!
^^^Think the sand paper was a joke. Wet sanding with 2500 is fine and will remove them, but will need machine polishing afterwards.
Clay will remove this as customer's cars have had this before. Depends on what paint it is but should be fairly easy. Just take your time. Failing that I would...
I quite like you!! Nice one mate (it's not a sealent but you have good banter so Ali's Trust Fund cheque is en route to you ;)).
Second hand is your only route, maybe look for a scrappies near you mate, or on here (you will need to pay up and become a full member to see the for sale section).
CAn I just point out that the miracle dryer was purchased around 6 months ago and is now no better than a polishing towel. It has gone really thing after no more than 5 washes and no longer dries streak free!
Ordered three more I4D towels for dad and I to use on the Clio and the 8.
Did this a few weeks back lad, press f12. Seemed to work for me.
I have one that is brand new and needed doing last night, 3 CD system worked automatically (like autorun).
My old one I did a couple of weeks back with the single CD. Pressed F12, selected full restore rather than the standard...
