    Run out of quick detailer

    Depending on the level of dust - yes though on light colours you may get away with it, anything more than very very light dust removal on Black is a no no.

    Nice one, looking forward to see the results on the Racing Blue.

    Need a Wax...

    Indeed, combined with the fact it would be sacralidge to apply the Mystery without any form of polishing before hand. Plan is Final Finish, and the full 3 step of Clearkote Glazes as in the the above pics, overkill maybe but hey you know me!

    Run out of quick detailer

    Depends what you want to do with it, to clay yes you can use soap and water, won't work if you actually want to quick detail the car!

    Need a Wax...

    The Clearkote ones where taken with my old camera which always seemed give an added look. That said those pics and something Brazo said the other day means I will be using that combo before the Mystery now at the weekend, infact I want to be there doing it now :(

    Not much in it IMO - CMW may slightly edge it.

    HELP - Waxing for Looks & Shine

    VM and Souveran going for looks alone IMO Other glazes such a CLearkote VM and Megs 7 will look better than the HD Cleanse or Cleaner Fluid. The AG Combo will be more durable.

    Sad pics :P Sorting garage out

    Agreed, detailed a Mustang in a garage at the weekend with lights on the walls was superb, on the list for mine now. Start buying you AG in trade sizes will save you lots of money.

    Need a Wax...

    Mini looks great John. Nattys Blue looked ok here but did not last, Was wet looking but lacked depth. Megs 16 looks average but lasts well, pain to apply and remove, I end up using it by machine to get it nice and thin. A few pics here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/r-jay-clio/16%20Test/

    red paint fade

    If working by hand look into a good chemical cleaner such as Klasse All in One or Carlack 68, both cut through oxidisation nicely. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polish/cat_16.html

    Spoke to Riz earlier - He seems happy with the purple one, I though this was the cream of the Dodo range ?

    HELP - Waxing for Looks & Shine

    Menzerna Final Finish, a nice Glaze such as Clearkote VM or Megs 7 or a decent Pre Wax cleaner such as Swissvax Cleaner fluid and then a clear looking non muting Carnuba Wax. The Flake in Pearl Black is very fine so will need bright sun for best effect though.

    That is a good thing though ?

    NXT Wash is great a cleaning, aswell as stripping the wax off at the same time.

    Polisher from Halford

    That Halfords thing wont do any damage on your paint in the same way as it won't even tickle any defects/swirls, you will get more paint correction by hand!
  24. Rich

    First cleaning prep... Tonight

    If Halfords is the only option re the Car wash purchase I would get some Megs Gold Class Wash or the Zymol the boys above say. Grab a Lambswool Mitt too. If you have a Vauxhall Dealer local you could always get some Sonax Gloss Shampoo. Working by hand; Wash Clay - Megs Clay Kit Swirl Remove-...

    Is it okay to clay windscreen and lights?

    Anything exterior wise gets contaminated the same. I tend to clay all the paintwork, then the glass, lights trim etc and finally the wheels, that bit of clay is dead after that but gets your moneys worth!

    Need a Wax...

    lol - Not until I got home! I got it from Tim@Cleanyourcar and took advantage of the CS Discount. Tend to get all my Swissvax from there. I saw John is going to be starting to stock it soon. Looks interesting but I still have loads of BMW Gummifledge to use first.

    pics of petrol blue please

    They should have left it called Paddock Green, as it is a more true name. Not a fan tbh.

    Quick clay question

    Not tried the AG myself but being as it makes a very lubricated wash solution I would think it will work fine. I normally put 2 -4 capfuls of Car shampoo in a 500ml spray bottle and clay away.
  29. Rich

    you boys have made me do it!

    It would do yes, as you say for most people once or maybe twice a year is more realistic and more often than not the case which means you can clay as part of the Winter and Summer details.

    Quick clay question

    The car be clayed wet if you like. If doing it that way better to use a soap and water mix rather than QD though.
