Like?

 

[Gally]

At least selling on here gives other people a chance to try stuff and buy at a fraction of the cost. No big outlay if they don't like it.

Nice to share about a little for some beer money.

 

[imprezaworks]

Definatly. id be happy to buy something, use it and then sell it on, just get my money back or something. This detailing lark can be expensive

I wanted more Britemax #6s, e postage doesn't really make it worth it for one item though :/

 

[Yellow Dave]

a few random parts, not 100% which to keep just in case I need them but will update tonight / tomorrow

most likely R222 pre wax cleanser, Chemical guys new car smell, either GTechniq C1.5 or C2. I can't remeber what else

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd be interested in any wax to try out if you have anything dave

 

[Yellow Dave]

Only waxes I have to are £50 plus. Would be Zymol Glasur or Autofinesse Spirit.

 

[imprezaworks]

ah okay cheers anyway mate.

 

[aucky]

Without going back into the garage, I'd probably sell colly 915, dodo blue velvet, dodo supernatural (maybe), werkstat prime strong, jet carnauba, ez creme glaze, festool backing plates, silverline rotary, sonus polishes, poor boys natural look dressing, dodo red mist

Might be more

I know, daily struggle tbh

Do you want a 100% full bottle or (iirc) 40% ?

 

[Gally]

Split it up. 3 half bottles mate. Easy sell. Great product.

 

[aucky]

Good idea, I'll see what else I can find to put it in.

 

[imprezaworks]

As per pm id be interested in trying some prime stuff

 

[aucky]

I'll get done sample bottles made up tonight /tomorrow and bigger quantities if needed.

It's great stuff, I've just got too much of it.

Dan, your not far away from me do we could meet halfway for anything, save postage hassle.

 

[imprezaworks]

I was only thinking the same mate. Let me know and i can shoot over, Chester arnt you?

 

[aucky]

Yeah, I'm actually a bit closer now. Just off the A41 by Capenhurst

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah right. I don't mind just meeting at yours tbh saves hassle etc, just let me know with regards my pm

 

[Gally]

I'll probably take a small bottle of Prime mate. 3 sold already sees!

 

[aucky]

Postage costs £2.20

So, 125ml sample bottle (rrp £6)

£5 posted sound fair?

 

[imprezaworks]

Sounds very fair. Is that what monies you want from me tomo dude?

 

[aucky]

Yeah go on then, and I'll figure out something else to give you seeing as you're picking it up.
Or you can borrow something to try?

 

[imprezaworks]

Your car???? Suprise me but tbh im happy with the wax stuff tbh

So I'm after some advice on steering wheel cleaning.

Basically it's completely caked in dirt and grime. I've sat there and scrubbed it with a Microfibre cloth and some citrus power and it barely touched it.

It needs a big scrub but I don't want to ruin the leather. What can I use to get it clean?

I used diluted G101 on my daughters wheel, worked well

Soft brush, leather cleaner from Gliptone, wiped with a damp cloth, done.

[Junior Bear]

These new fin pads look interesting

 

[Yellow Dave]

i cant see there being a great deal of contact area, unless you compress it so much that you loose the cooling affect
