Looks pretty impressive. If I was getting a brand new expensive car (to keep) I'd definitely consider gettting it done.

Looking at new cars at the mo, already got a quote from Jim at white details for c1+exo. Might see if he will be using this soon

 

[aucky]

Do it. I can't comment on EXO but I found C1+ to be poor.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I'm half tempted to order this

Dont wanna spend too much as I don't even own a car anymore lol but will come in handy for the GFs and my Dads motor when I'm bored on a Saturday afternoon

Quick question (hopefully)

Whats everyones drying method?

I use an asda microfibre towel, and just catch most of the water on the panel to break it up & let the rest evaporate. Is this decent enough to prevent swirls etc? Ive heard people who just lay the towel on and take it off again, i've tried this but found that my towel gets soaked very quick.

 

[Coby.]

Mist of QD all over, Open hose rinse/watering can and then dry with my drying towels, I've a terrible habit of wiping but yes pat drying is recommended.... I use 2 drying towels to get 1 car dry.

As coby said, QD then I use the pressure washer without the attachment on to rinse it all off. Then a towel to dab the remaining water.

I was about to dry it today but the rain started it so I misted it over with the pressure washer to get it to bead then left it

[Loz H]

Got most of my new stuff today, and I cracked open the Iron-X in my room to see what all the fuss was about with the smell...

Something easy and not fussy AF Revive, Plenty or reviews on here recently.

Little more durable but need to get your prep correct CarPro Dlux or GT C4

More of a single stage correction combination that finishes down well. Especially with a blob of AF finishing polish on the pad.

Blue 3M and 106fa is great for fine finishing

 

[aucky]

Swissvax opaque is the matte one

Ah, af finishing as in number 3 or that white 'perfect finish' or whatever it's called?

I knew it was one of them lol.

When are you free this week btw? I'll try and stop by for the illusion... I may pick your brains about polishes too

 

[aucky]

Ermmm The pink one, whatever that is.

Yeah sure mate. Towards the end of the week is best. Thurs/fri

I'm buying it payday. It's no Reload but it's hard to ignore. BSD undiluted wipedown every wash!! Happy days

 

[Yellow Dave]

Has anyone tried BSD on a wet or damp panel yet? I'm still not liking application and occassionally getting smears on my black golf even in cool weather.

First couple of times I used it I didn't get smears etc then the last few times I did, just required a little more work in. God knows what i've done differently, as the panels have been drier the last few times too...
