Thought they weren’t posting until 28th?

 

[imprezaworks]

Mine said Friday before ordering, then you scroll down and it says pre order for the 28th.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

not heard anything about mine yet. my carchem box is arriving this morning though so thats a win.

Was tempted to keep the box a secret but couldnt resist. If I get the same as that ill be buzzing. Nothing I wont use there

 

[imprezaworks]

What car chem, the iron stuff?

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

What car chem, the iron stuff?

nah, the 5 x 100ml sampler box. Was £10 plus P&P. Ordered that, next day the IW mystery box was on offer so bought that too. RIP my bank.

In the carchem box ive got prewash/snowfoam, 1900:1, super suds, waterspot remover (dont need it often but 100ml lasts ages) & refresh odour eliminator for when I shart myself

 

[imprezaworks]

Was tempted but will wait for their shampoo, its on offer next time around.

Probably should have bought the iron remover, even just for work too.

Yeah, I saw that on DW. Was me who posted asking them for it 🤣

Im glad ive got that sampler box coming. Dont wanna commit to a 5L if it isnt what I need. Especially considering 5L of 1900 will last about 20 years

 

[imprezaworks]

See i was going to suggest that instead of buying 5 litres of anything maybe go halves for 2.5 litres. But maybe after postage it wouldnt be worth it?!?

its a good idea but postage is madness tbf. I know ill get through 5L eventually as I tend to do quite a few cars. Surely you do aswell at work?

 

[imprezaworks]

We do but we use autosmart stuff which is good and cheap.

There is nothing better than Brisk or a Blast can.

Mmm

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

ffs. Missed the autosmart man the other day and was meant to grab some of that smelly spray stuff.

We dont even sell cars but he stops at the garage across the road and always sees me peeking out my window at him like a smack addict spotting his dealer

 

[imprezaworks]

grab some smart wheels if you havent

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

just had to google what that is. I tend to just use bodywork soap on mine as my wheels are coated. Then again, never really used a dedicated wheel shampoo. Used to go to the megs ultimate which was really good. Why is smart wheels so good?

 

[imprezaworks]

I find it very good on brake dust, dillution ratio is good, cheap, good on cleaning tyres too.

@Daniel probably uses it too

 

[JamesBryan]

+1 for Smart Wheels.

Wear gloves when using it though, it's about the only thing that really gets to my skin for some reason.

 

[imprezaworks]

This stuff is way worse. Sprayed and the wind said, unlucky!!!
Face stung like fook

 

[imprezaworks]

@Sidnancy

tardis too

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

@Sidnancy

tardis too

ive got 5l of tardis at home....im not a total noob

Also used their Red 7 which is decent

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha. How much was red7. Think it shot up in price last time i asked. Its not as good as bh. obviously cheaper though.

i bought it bloody ages ago so dont quote me on this. I wanna say £35 for a 5L?

Yeah, BH is the tits apparently but its also top dollar. Must have much more of that reactant in it than the others. Still better than the piss water from EZ 🤣

 

[JamesBryan]

The Bilt Hamber Korrosol is £13 for 1L, Iron X is £18

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah about 15 delivered. The autobrite gel is OK too.

In a spray bottle it works really well and it's cheap...

got some Geo Gel from EZ which is heavily alkaline. Great for tyres and I just dowse wheels I dont care about. Seems to work well.

Ill have a look when the Autosmart man (aka my smack dealer) comes around next

 

[imprezaworks]

Its reminded me to order some (for work)

I was wondering the same actually. Confirm once I get my box but it looks a bit like one of those air freshener / car bomb things...?

 

[Gally]

When you wash and rapid detailer and it looks like that! Not idea what they put in the bottle but the gloss levels always look insane!

Really want to try their new spray supergloss wax when it's released.

 

[MLB]

If its anything like their normal supergloss wax it'll be an incredible product, love that wax.

 

[imprezaworks]

This one?

 

[Gally]

Yeah. They’re making a spray wax of it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looked at that a few times. See what their wax box brings next week.

 

[Jekyll]

Used BH double speed wax yesterday. Found it nice and easy to apply and remove and looks like it did a decent job. I don't think I've found a fault with any Bilt Hamber products yet.

Based on that I'm going to buy some for myself. For the price, you can't go wrong.

 

[Gally]

The price is insane when you consider the performance.

The finis wax you recommended is pretty good too. It sheets water really nicely.
