Re: What have you ordered?
I see what you're saying, you've also been detailing a lot longer than me!
But you wouldn't use wheel brightener on new wheels surely.
We try to pass on some knowledge and what thanks do we get?
I'm trying to save people money! They buy shite and then realise there are better products out there. Costing them twice.
:o
Picking the correct snowfoam is key mate, anything crap will strip wax or affect it's beading big time.
Always rinse the car, get all the crap off it then foam, also you want the foam to drag the crap down the car, encapsulated in the foam so a wet surface is best...
You really don't get a good perspective of the car from ground level, the upper shots just show how gorgeous that car is, absolutley stunning.
Anf the magazine bit.. :S It won car of the year you mentalist, in what is regarded as the driving bible... EVO.
Just to add I keep seeing little cues...
I detailed my new door striker plates the other night, 2 of many many new parts. Was sitting doing nothing thought i'd give them a clean up. :o Autosol, prime strong, aquartz reload. :o
Pmsl! Get a decent brush and then brush around our badges with some APC ... I don't have the energy for this. You don't pay me enough.
Throw LP away and i'll give you some prime ffs!
The FK will last forever mate, I doubt you want to be re-applying wax every month, maybe. :o
The Prime because you have a white car and it's f**king awesome stuff. It also will make the wax last even longer. Without spending £50+ I couldn't recommend another wax.
It's not for me i'm afraid.
It's almost like using Mercedes paint lacquer on your paint. Rock hard clear coat. Be aware if it goes wrong it'll require wet sanding/heavy compounding to remove.
I Wouldn't recommend it to anyone but that's just me. Maybe some soft paint owners or black car owners...
Infact Roy forgot the SN it's not for you mate, poor suggestion actually. You don't need a wax like that. FK1000p is the one to go for mate, top with you Zymol as you please.
If you get anything get that Prime and a couple of MF pads.
Quite, are you sleepy this morning Ali?
You'll get over 10 layers of wax out a DD sample pot you old fiend! Buy it, listen to me! Or you could buy some AG HD and go home happy for £25.
Yes, the wax goes straight over the cleanser, LP is a little oily though. Acrylic pwns all.
I think he meant foam pad. :o

That'll be better than LF Roy.
Just my 2 pence. You need a pre-wax cleanser in your life, epscially on white. It'll transform the colour of the car imo...
The high cost of the 5 on contract is something i'm not sure I fancy, may change my mind when it actually comes out.
So the phone would go from £240 on a £35 per month contract to maybe £169 on a £35 month contract.
