Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

If the seats are proper fucked, race glaze alcantara cleaner is very good, gliptone leather cleaner on a brush if the leather is proper filth. Leather should lose it's shine the cleaner it gets.

For the first time in months I've had to worry about watermarks on the car from it drying too quickly, Love a bit of sunshine

On another note - I do NOT like the Car Chem shampoo sample I just used, Just felt horrible and not slick, Lots of bubbles but that was it, That sample will go back in the box and not be used again

Wrt wheel sealing and protection I have just bought some freshly powder coated wheels and want to get then on the car ASAP. I'd like to seal the wheels but think I will have to use something from halfrauds as can't wait for something to be delivered. What should I get? And is it OK to go on ontop of the Polish that was on there when I bought them?

I think Gtechniq C5 is supposed to a really good one.

 

[Will Eastman]

Not going to be able to get that and apply soon though, plus is quite expensive. How is autoglym spray on sealant, or wonder wheels wheel sealant? I can get them from halfrauds see

It'll last about a week. Buy a ceramic one or don't waste your time/money.

 

[Will Eastman]

Ah fair does, with c5 will I have to remove the Polish on them?

I've got a poorboys one and Scrooge told me yesterday I'd be better of spunking on the wheels FLOL!

I'll be getting some C5.

 

[Will Eastman]

I might spunk on my wheels then if that's the recommendation, they are rather nice and new haha

Has anyone used any Obsession wax? Jay the owner and maker of the waxes is based in Manchester. I've met him before when selling some products and he seemed like a genuine guy.

I4detailing are currently doing some group buys over on DW with the de nibber, hygrometer, valet pro advanced neutral snow foam, and britemax cleanmax

[gex23]

I'm VERY tempted to give Cquartz Hyrdo2 a go :



3 months durability from one application seems decent enough.

 

[Scrooge]

Just get it, it's bloody awesome.

Oooo de nibber!!

 

[Gally]

I shall be testing Hdryo2 on an undetailed unprotected car this week and onwards, shall report back.

 

[Inequality Street]

Can't recommend Hydr02 enough, brilliant.

It still works brilliantly, still lasts as long and still looks as good. Awesome stuff that's for sure

 

[Gally]

Lasted really well on the Trophy when I first got it. Over a ceramic sealant in the winter months it would be a godsend!

 

[Scrooge]

I've tried it over eveyrthing from unprotected to proper sealants. Behaves the same no matter what, perfect for maintenance washes. The beading is just bloody sublime!

 

[Yellow Dave]

How much mixture do you use per car?

I mixed 50ml nanolex washcoat with 500ml water applied through the foam lance and had plenty left over after coating 2 cars

 

[Scrooge]

I do it this way, It's 3-1 mixture with water so I use one of the old airfreshener sprayers from waxy box. Fill it up 3:1 ratio. Spray on all over working from top to bottom, hit with pressure washer bottom to the top, rinse off with open hose top to bottom.

So will Ant, he just doesn't know it yet

 

[Scrooge]

FLOL

 

[JD]

What sort of cost does it break down to, per application then, Ant? If a bottle is £12 for 100ml?

 

[Scrooge]

Not a clue dude, I don't do cost's etc. It does the job and I love using it so it get's used as and when I want. Can you put a price on not having to touch your paint to dry it and add decent protection at the same time?

Agreeded. I'll get it bought. CS discount H0ooo0o.

 

[Scrooge]

I've asked Carpro to see if we can do a group buy or something...

 

[Inequality Street]

What is wrong with CYC? Every single time I go to purchase anything 'Authentication blocked for 10 minutes for security reasons.'

Stupid f**king website.

 

[Inequality Street]

Also, re-Hydr02. A 50ml sample from CYC is £5.45. A 100ml bottle is £11.95.

Logic?
