Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Hxrry]

I did a post about this today on socials, I just use my wheel cleaner (non acidic). Does as good a job at cleaning tyres as it does cleaning wheels.

What would you do with a brand new car that the owner didn't let the dealership clear before the sale?

 

[MLB]

If you really need them clean the tuffshine cleaner.

Otherwise I just use whatever wheel cleaner I'm using or some APC.

Were you happy with the Mystery box? Thanks for the pic and most importantly, the order!!

You won't go wrong with Shampoo and then finished with Detail Spray for 6 weeks+ protection.

Interior Dressing leaves a perfect OEM non-greasy finish. Spray onto a microfibre or directly onto the surfcace.

Where's the glue? Tar & Glue is my obvious answer, but depends where the glue is and how stubborn it is?

Doors and windows. There's not a lot at all.

On windows use glass cleaner and a soft cloth, whilst damp that should also be enough to remove from the doors safely

Oh you do flatter me!! You're in for a treat.

The Detail Spray is muy fuego, and if @imprezaworks likes it, then it must be good!!!

10 day old Paint Polish on an old knacker Astra. Who says you can't polish a turd

 

[imprezaworks]

It's very good

 

[treemanx]

Long overdue a clean. First time using the infinity wax qdx ceramic detailer, quite impressed and the paintwork feels very slick. I used the tyre candy for trim now with it being quite thick. The autoglym stuff seems better.

Ordered the mountune M200 map yesterday, been considering it for awhile but the price for the gains seemed a bit off. Was 20% off with the 12 days of Christmas sale they do, so I bit [emoji28]

I would've done my own in the past, but not now!! This is a customers Range Rover, he likes to keep it looking good!

The trouble is, I like to keep warm lol

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

I feel for you after doing that Audi. When the foam starts to freeze to the panels you know youre in trouble.

 

[imprezaworks]

Heater is on

I have a dickies 1 piece for winter, basically T-shirt and boxers underneath whilst it's 2 degrees outside.

I think I had a similar outfit a couple of years back. The best money I ever spent I think. Super warm, waterproof, and just brilliant all round.
i must get some new ones, I don’t know what happened to them.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

on that topic, I feel I need some better trousers when im doing car cleaning outside. Anyone have any recommendations? Ideally the ones with the padded knees cos im the oldest 26 year old youve ever seen.

Dickies probably have exactly what you want tbh.

Easily the best 75 pounds quid I've spent on clothing. Went to a Rally event at Oulton Park on the 6th of Nov and I wore it there. Sit where I like, lie down if I want, warm, dry and comfortable. Just got changed before getting in the car. Everyone else looked freezing with 3or 4 layers on.

Ill have a good look now. Could be good to pop on the xmas list too

This.

I have some of their work trousers with removable pads in.

Although their range has vastly reduced now since they've scrapped the Dickies Workwear side of the business, concentrating more on the Streetwear stuff.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Just had a look. Decent set of trousers with pockets galore. Added Knee pads. £37. Bargain?

Aye, i've had mine a few years and after crawling around on the floor working on cars they've not even ripped or anything yet.

Think mine are the Redhawk ones, only £20 at the time plus pads for £8-9.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

My only worry is that they dont mention about being waterproof. Whilst I dont plan on doing a slip n slide in them, be handy. Its more for the pockets and kneeling I want them for tbh

No they're not waterproof.
