    SRP - or something else ?

    Something like Menzerana Final Finish would be my choice, will restore gloss while correcting minor inperfections.

    Just waiting for a coat of EGP to dry!

    No point doing more than 1 coat unless you are able to allow it 12 -24 hours to cure properly before adding another coat. One coat straight after another will do nothing apart from ensuring total coverage of any missed bits. Allow the product 12 odd hours between coats and it will mean you can...

    Is it ok to polish powdercoated wheels?

    The problem with powder coated finishes is they lack the gloss of properly painted ones. I use AG Super Resin on them when doing other peoples cars with that finish but they never come up as nice as they would with basecoat and lacquer.

    zymol rouge

    P21s Paint cleanser may remove it, P21s wax won't. I would polish with Autoglym Super Resin of Re cleanse with HD Cleanse to remove it. The Rouge is designed for single stage finsihes but can't see it is going to do any harm now it is on there, I would just let it wear off.

    Cleaning Process

    Yeap thats the correct order. You just need to make sure you use a wax without cleaners in it after the EGP or it will remove it.

    Clay question.

    Doubt there will be any Pre FCs pics. Will do a right up of the processes if I get 5 later.

    Clay question.

    My concern is when claying cars with QD on a wet car - The water on the car will dilute the QD in doing this it may water down the QD to much. The water alone in theory should provide adequate lubrication but not one I ever risk.

    series 2 vs 182

    LOL mates S2 RS Turbo could not stay with my 309 GTI round the bends back in the day when they where not that old. - Escorts do not handle well.

    Clay question.

    If using QD to clay you should dry it first, using soap and water leave it wet.

    quick question.............

    That's double the P21s cost - worth paying for though.

    Wheel Cleaning for Sunday

    Nice work, did mine yesterday just need to torque them all up. Front drivers was welded to the hub, loads of cooper crease on the hub now.

    quick question.............

    P21s rather then Natty's Blue every time for me. Though for the P21s type budget also consider Chemical Guys 50/50

    Some old cleaning stuff, what do I use?

    For the QD a couple of capfuls of car shampoo in a 500ml spray bottle works fine. Wet the panel with some shampoo and water too. Then using what you have I would use the SRP, EGP and maybe top that with the Megs stage 3 Carnuba.

    The most comprehensive detail you’ve ever embarked on?

    Glass cleaner is glass cleaner don't see a problem with it really. I household stuff the Double Glazing fitters use, works just fine. Would not use the Pledge myself.

    Black/Gold 182 by Hand

    As a rule if you can catch your nail in it is to deep to remove. Scratch X works by rounding the edges on the scratches if they are to deep to remove to help hide the defects. Worked in lots of applications by hand it will swirls but takes a long time and lots of effort.

    sealant/polish/wax for a silver car

    Every wax I have tried looks pretty much the same to me on Silver - but to be honest I have not tried anything more expensive than my Zymol Titanium on it, not tried the Concours, Destiny or any of my 3 Swissvaxs on it as when my I spent some time PCing the car about 18 months ago and even that...

    If you trust the bodyshop then let them sort it.

    sealant/polish/wax for a silver car

    I could bring the whole wax collection, could make a killing charging for sample testing. If I remember I will put it in the car was not planning on bring any waxes. Mine is wearing Zymol Destiny now so don't want to top that with anything on the day !

    SRP by rotary

    Depends how bad the holograms are, SRP is not the ideal choice. What product left in the holograms ?

    Black/Gold 182 by Hand

    Meguiars products make lots of claims like that. The stage 1 may have some mild abrasives in it.

    sealant/polish/wax for a silver car

    Meq Quick Detailer

    Of the shelf is the only real option, not got any carnuba in it though.

    Meq Quick Detailer

    If you buy the right one it will contain wax so will top up the wax already on the car.
