Tim at Clean Your Car does PC with everything you need, if you not fancy importing it and getting the other bits from electrical places.
I would get at least 2 of each of pads in normal 6 inch sized ones, 2 light cut, 2 polishing and 2 finishing, and the same again in 4 inch size at least. Some...
Oops sorry Ma .... Andy - You knew who I meant! ;)
I would try the Final Finish first as it works well on minor marring, step up to the 2.5 if you need to.
Turned up this morning, and yes it really is Tiny! Main thing is to get the battery charger on though lol
Still not tried the Onyx yet, but will be in touch in the spring out some BOS though.
The main thing I have found with the Menzerna PO106FF is it is harder to see when it has broken down in the way it clears on the paint, in comparison to say Poorboys SSR 2 or 2.5 which are easier to see viasably when they are worked. But results with it far surpass the finsih the Poorboys...
Well worth a look Ralph, I have used a fair few sealants, and this is the first one that has really left me wanting recommend it to others. No danger of getting a coat of EGP of Klasse SG applied and then it starting to rain like normal before you have a chance to remove it...
I think it is down to the local office you go to, a few on here have been told they can not do private reg bit's where as at other offices there have been no problems. I have always done all the transfers etc there and then at the local Worcester office without any problems.
Full Leather or at least Leather & Alcantara should be standard on a car for 197 money, another thing the 197 lacks over the 172/182 IMO. Leave the cloth for the Cup versions.
My SG has sat on the shelf since I got my Jeffs AGT, I would have liked to have got at least one coat of SG proper for those reasons, but left the winter prep a little late this year. The 6 coats of AGT that I got on before the 16 x2 and Zymol Titanium should see it through ok though!
Protects the paint from the elements and seals in the shine from the polishing stage.
Sealants are a man made blend of products which should last longer than a pure wax. They don't however provide a look as good a natural wax, hence why lot's of people use both.
SRP or EGP?, I use the SRP as a polish and paint cleaner, the Jeffs Werkstatt Acylic Jet Sealant gives Extra Gloss Protection results but with the ease of use as a quick detail spray, wipe on and wipe of, no cure time of 30-60 min, no dust if put it on to thick.
It is also layerable with out...
Seb, seb, seb!
Dog of the year is harsh, its a competent car, would make a nice little daily car doing everything well, just a little boring after the 182.
My order including a couple of these arrived today aswell - Cheers Alex.
A few people commented they looked like Halfords ones, which they did in the pictures. In the flesh these look nothing like the Halfords ones, and they don't feel anything like them. I liked the Eurow mitts lots that I am...
Not a fan of Megs NXT soap here either, quite strong - shifts grime well but not to friendly on waxes and sealants. There Hyper Wash and Shampoo Plus soaps from the detailer lines however are superb.
I also like Duragloss, 1Z Einzett Perls, CG Wash'n'wax and Sonax Gloss Shampoo - all worth a...
