Just get a new genuine one poly mounts will shake your teeth out!
No it won't lol! The upper engine mount doesn't really add vibration, it's the poly dogbone that shakes the car.

I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon. Stage one of what will be a multi-stage multi-week clean of the 140.
I may even take the wheels off and do the arches if this goes on and on and on and on 😁

Let me know how you get on with the arches. Mine looks like it's been through a WRC stage 😂

Exactly what I'm doing with the Clio, wheels off makes cleaning the arches so much easier!

Got to try the Adam's Shampoo in the sun today and it does work!
Didn't bother with rinsing to let it dry on the paintwork :
Just a rinse later, all gone, might be my new summer shampoo!

Google says it'll be cool and dry till at least next week Sunday over there?
I've just finished washing and claying, have lunch now, then get the Vac 'n blo out to get the last bits dry before I start polishing. Depending on the weather and my motivation I expect to finish the car Monday or Tuesday. Nice not to have to rush!

It’s the beat having time to properly work on ur car rather than rush washing in between time off and breaks in the weather !

Hi Guys,
I haven't done a top up shop for ages, started detailed my white Abarth today and realised I was very under tooled.
What are people reccomending for microfibres and drying towels these days? I had two new fluffy purple things still wrapped up, went to try them and they were terrible and the microfibres I had handy are pretty poor too.
Other than that I quite enjoyed getting back into it, I have never seen so many iron fillings in paint before, it took multiple hits on the boot, it also appears to acctract tar for fun, prep took ages!
Thanks in advance for any reccomendations!

The auto finesse drying towel is decent and you can get it from halfords which is a bonus. Apparently the chemical guys ones aren't bad either.
What sort of microfibres are you after ? General cleaning towels for things like door jambs, or are you after ones to use with polishes and waxes
For general cleaning, amazon basics sell some in different pack sizes.
For buffing, ive heard good things about microfibre madness. Personally i have a load of auto finesse ones. Free delivery on them at the moment too.
If you are having trouble with new towels it might be worth giving them a good wash before hand. They like to chuck fluff everywhere otherwise

In2detailing is good for microfibers. I bought five orange ones (forget the name now)
Drying towel. I use the Kent one from Amazon. Only £4.

Klin Korea drying towel. I rarely use anything else. The big one will dry my Octavia in about 2 minutes and still doesn’t need wringing out. Witchcraft 🤣
The in2detailing Korean ones are pretty good I have the grey ones and the Gtechniq MF1 ones are good for when you don't want something too plush. Auto finesse aqua deluxe drying towel for me.
Always worth giving a wash before first use to get rid of any possible loose fibers and don't use conditioner.

they amazing Microfiber towels, best towels I’ve used. I just bought their 20x30 Gauntlet drying towel and OMG it’s on another leve, there’s really good reports on their Pluffle is highly recommend too. ive bought cloths from Clean your car and in2D but TRC cloths are far better. Their Edgeless 365 70/30 blend 16x16 for the price best all round cloth ever, I have loads of them plus a range of clothes inc glass cloths too.

Spent 5 hours on this today, First proper detail since I bought it
Megs 105/205 is a great combo, managed to get rid of a lot of deeper marks around the bootlid and handles, Still got drivers door and wing to do but that's a job for tomorrow.
Gonna seal it with Gyeon Cancoat and a layer of cure.
Can you layer Cancoat?
