Lucky Mandy is cooking then ... Ask Kully for sauce though ...

Don't make him worse Dee!

I use the above as described the QEW wash a few posts up, safety of a full wash but without rinsing

Silver hides all. Found the Optimum one here http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/optimum-rinse-wash-shine-p-242.html

There is no actual direct comparison in the AG trade range. The nearest things are the Powermax series you would need to check with the rep as to wich one is closest maybe Powermax 2.

Quick and Easy Wash - Alex at SP did sell it none on his site now. Few caps in a bucket wash as you would normally wash mitt and two buckets but dry straight away without rinsing. That one bucket of QEW solution and the rinse bucket should do a whole car. I used the Poorboys one which was like...

LOL was a bad idea! Convoy Delay, no worries this year I have QEW and water on board!

Some local offices have stopped doing the over the counter now so worth a phone call first.

Very true, wished I had just used it on the wheels and arches after.

Working by hand a glaze is proabably worth the extra step to hide any defects you can't remove. In a machine polished prep using Menzerna finishing polishes the Glaze is no longer adding anything to the paint for me.

Maybe from Lusty!

Afraid not Danny - only do Black!

Optimum Car Wash or QEW are your freinds. Had to do a full wash on mine at Trax due to the bloody rain last year.

The traditional use of a Glaze is before a wax. It can be used before some sealants but will kill there durability and in most cases the sealant won't bond at all. You can't use one before EGP. A glaze does not replace the polish, sealant or wax. Stand alone added step which basically is you...

Wash it on arrival ?

What polishes are you talking about Lusty ? - most polishes need working till they are gone with little to remove. Some waxes you can wipe on and off straight away.

The wax in the fridge is a 'Zymol thing' a bit like there bull about the special zymes in the wax doing there thing IMO, some of the geeks ;) on detailing world have wax fridges now, I just keep mine in the Cupboard as long as it is cool. I got some Titanium on Ebay when it was cheap for 40 odd...

The guy selling that car is on here, he posted the pics up the other day.

Any paste waxes can be applied by hand though the ingredients of some mean this may not be wise. Personally I don't bother warm the wax up with the old fingers if need be and apply with an applicator.

Prep started 3 weeks ago is a truer term - Mostly real work inbetween :( though have some time off before the FCS to apply the final touches. In reality spent a day doing the doors, wings, quarters and bonnet. Few hours on the roof and tailgate. Polished Menzerna Final Finish(s) ( Final Polish...

All filler no thriller, get some cut going on and polish it to a fine luster Lusty. edit - P.S over use of heavy abbrassives is bad ok kids, a nice finishing polish should give you some good gloss if you have no real defects correct. I recomend Menzerna Final Finsih - see all these tips I am...

LOL Lusty this is where your going wrong - wax only adds maybe 10% to the overall look, all in the polishing son, all in the polishing, spent the last 3 weeks on mine ;)

I can see loads of dirt in that engine bay ;)

Stop slagging off my car.

I dont use anything bar a damp microfiber cloth on the Alacantara. Exterior Wash Clay Swirl Remove as needed - Meguiars Scratch X Polish - Autoglym Super Resin Seal- Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection Wax- P21s Clean Glass, Wheels, dress Trim and Tyres.

Nothing above will clean any real amount of dirt from the Wheels, get a bottle of AG Engine and Machine Cleaner to get the grime off then polish them with the SRP and seal them with the EGP.

It is a very gentle but effective cleaner - Morrisons lol

Meguiars Quick Clay and or Autoglym Tar and Adhesive Remover.
