    My First Detail Is Nearly Here...!

    Now I've read it, the Megs range isn't all that tbf. I started with it, but actually took me three times longer than with the Menz range. I know Ali will big up the 3M range, but I am yet to try. Make sure that you take your time. Mask off the Plastics and rubbers. I say this, not because...

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    I think the lights suit it tbh, but the badges and exhaust was awful!

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    Natty's on blue = 11/10 for looks, 2/10 for durability.

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    ^^^In that case, Gex mate, your wax should be purely for looks/beading properties. In all honesty, for things like wheels, and bodywork in winter, I just seal the paintwork properly and don't bother with a wax. I basically have OCD, so wheels come off every couple of months and paint is...

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    FLOL @ playdo set! ***goes to find that Rapidough game*** Hai Becs, the 27 came up so well, was perusing photos last night for a best work compilation for a mate's art project. Again, no experience with AG HD and have to agree with the Netherland resident, wax each month ftw :)

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    With blues, I think Blue Velvet is a shout for Dodo's wax. Certainly looked ace on Becca's R27;

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    aimed at Gex^^^P21s. There is a reason it is one of the most widely used waxes. I would go with Natty's Blue on a cup however, comme ca;

    No Nic mate, spritzing is the action of spraying lightly, i.e. spraying a light sprinkling of water/quick detailer in this case onto the pad when it's new to soften it up a bit. New pads/freshly washed pads tend to be a little more difficult to start/prime.

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    ? Lasts for a good month! Old name for R222

    Which New Wax?

    Justin, I've heard the Dodo waxes actually react with paint work after too much use, turning them this awful yellow colour ;) In all seriousness, P21s is old but faithful. Onyx would be for me, depends whether you can stretch to things like Carbons and above.
  14. J

    Whats YOUR favourite wax?

    Natty's Blue, Onyx, P21s followed closely by Blue velvet (Hai Paul x) and Collinites, purely from a wheel seal point of view.

    One question iPhone/iPT thread.

    Re: iPhone Software 3.0 Discussion (New hardware Expected 9/6/2009) Fair enough, cheers. Dan will now go "haha, told you so".

    Detailling the BMW 330CI tomorrow

    Once it's cured fella yeah. Jet seal is a paint sealent, so protects the freshly polished paintwork. Wax is barely for protection, more for looks.

    If it's Jet seal, then yeah, nay bad stuff.

    Detailling the BMW 330CI tomorrow

    Was about to jump in with claying. Wet sanding is brave, but well worth it. Just go slow. I don't do glazes instead of sealents, so would go for some Chem Guy's Blitz instead or as well as, just for some protection :)

    They're ;) I thought you were on Carbon. What are you on at the moment for the Veely?

    Car detailing help :D

    Mainly because it can be out of the price range of some. It is seen as a bit of a named brand, like buying BMW over Ford. But the reasons speak for themselves. DW is usually about the newer products/bargain options. Hence Dodo getting more of a shout recently. I love my Natty's Blue wax (not...

    Car detailing help :D

    Hand the SRP is good, there are some more recent ones that have come out. They will brighten up the paint work nicely. Again, not going OTT, I always Machine Polish SRP every couple of months, just to take back the build up of what ever is on the paint work (old waxes/sealents/crap)...

    Car detailing help :D

    It is a bit of a "halfords/n00b/rush it" product mate, in all honesty. Detailing can go on and on in terms of products and costs, but even when I was first starting out I went above that type of product.

    Car detailing help :D

    I haven't tried this stuff, so cannot comment. But I would be wary of any products that push the fact that they are made of synthetic ingredients.

    More like it, but as Stu says, these are more expensive waxes Nic mate.

    Car detailing help :D

    Its a finishing/buffing polish. Awful stuff :S sorry! Not very hard wearing wax, won't last and for the price there are much better newbie waxes out there. But all IMO and experience :) Not a "get at you" quote ;)

    Car detailing help :D

    Hi bud, You need a sealent in there like Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection/Chemical Guys Blitz/Jeffs Werkstat Acryllic to seal the freshly polished paint work. Tend to do as many layers of this as I can, so around 4-8. P21s (now called R222 but I refuse to abide by the new name lol) is a very...
