Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Matt e]

Car Chem are doing cracking offers on their stuff. Will be picking up some bits.

have you used there stuff before?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah decent

 

[leeds2592]

Right, trying to decide between the das6 v2 and the das6 Pro.

Will I notice/need the extra bit of power from the Pro?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah

 

[leeds2592]

Or, to throw another one in the mix, the DA8 from in2detailing?

 

[imprezaworks]

Get the rupes at 199

Definitely do that. I’m tempted too.

The das pro plus is £159. Which looks like a good alternative.

The rupes is a good step up from what I’ve always read. The das pro is still a good machine.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Rupes machines eclipse DAS ones.

I’ve got the Bigfoot mini and it’s a great bit of kit. I’ll certainly invest in the Bigfoot when funds allow.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not suprisex it was sold out. Cheapest from that was 290 I think.

Wasn't that a mk3 though?

This was the 'old' mk2 that was on sale. Nothing wrong with that though, still a great deal.

 

[Adamm.]

1L on C2V3 is just under £18 on Amazon it's usually £30 so bit of a good buy there if anyone wants a good deal.

Do you rate it? I bought some years ago and didn’t think much of it. Maybe application error lol.

Ordered! That’s proper cheap that is!

Cheers for the heads up!

It’s brilliant imo. I use it a lot.

Yeah it's easy to apply feels really slick and gives good gloss the 6 month durability seems a stretch but I apply monthly anyway.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cool. Added to the Xmas pressie list.

ordered!!!

Anyone used the Shinemate EX605? Bought this yesterday while the 15% on CYC was on to replace my old Das 6 I sold. Reviews seem good, just didn't know if anyone on here has used them.

ShineMate - EX605 Orbital Polisher Kit

ShineMate EX605 Orbital Polisher 12mm Orbit The Shinemate EX605 polisher is a long throw 12mm polisher in a compact body. Featuring a CNC machined counterweight system, this is probably the smoothest compact dual action polisher on the market. It is now possible to cut like a rotary, but with all

[imprezaworks]

Used their rotary which was good. Power seems a little lower at 500 (750 max??).

how come you didn’t go for another das but the pro version as I think you had the base model?

Has anyone changed their karcher hose to a non kink and longer one?

I did with my old Nilfisk. Best thing I ever did mate. The rubber hoses are infinitely better.

It was too rich anyway for me that. Getting it as a Christmas present so gotta be sensible.

Decided on the DA8 from in2detailing. Seems bang on for the £££

Thanks for the heads up, think I'm going to buy one and give it a whirl.

I have the smaller 603 and like it, and it felt smoother and quieter than my old das, so I took a punt on this. I was eyeing up the pro also, so it was a 50/50 but reviews read good on this.

Another to try lol

Times are hard! @TheEvilGiraffe

 

[Jekyll]

@imprezaworks @gally @riz said good things about it.

 

[leeds2592]

Seeing as though I'll be getting a DA now, I've started to look at other little bits I may need to compliment it.

Are people using IPA or panel wipe after polishing and before putting the protection on? Seen a lot of good comments about not wasting money on fancy stuff and just getting U-Pol panel wipe?

Thanks for your post, I would've totally forgot to order some for myself, got 5 liters this time, brilliant stuff!

Also sneaked in the qdx detailer, looks interesting.

@imprezaworks @gally @riz said good things about it.

I've had the watermelon one which is slightly more si02 and it's great.

 

[imprezaworks]

I’ve never used it

What snowfoam bottles are people using?

Looking at getting one soon. I have a quick release stubby gun that it'll be hooked on to.

Will order some Bilt Hamber snow foam when I do.

 

[imprezaworks]

I have just a cheap no make one, seems ok. Use it in work with the kranzle thing.
