I will get some after I use Cancoat

Been using Infinity Wax Rapid Detailer and this stuff beats it IMO.

Newspaper??

Test a bit on a mirror at home 👍

So does it need to specifically be a copy of the Mirror or will the Sun work as well? 😉

Remember thinking I was a pro valeter (before detailing was even a term lol) using SRP and the cars looked unbelievable! Bit of rain or a wash and they'd look crap again

Haha. Same, I’d be out every weekend cleaning the crap out of my car, it’d look mint until I drove it or the sun came out and showed the swirls. SRP was “the” polish to have if you took car care seriously! Lol.

If I get even a slight whiff of SRP, it takes me right back to 2000-2006, most car shows just smelt of it

No chance...

 

[JamesBryan]

No chance...

Definitely feels slicker to me.

 

[imprezaworks]

By chance anyone selling any menzerna polishes

 

[riz]

Used Gyeon Cancoat. 9am this morning.
Feels pretty slick and easy to use.
It better bloody last, took me ages to decon this car.
CC Platinum wheels on the alloys as it's bulletproof.

@riz

Which glass cleaner did you recommend.

 

[riz]

Yeah it is. I would get their mould remover too, it's excellent on grout in the shower.

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice one. Looks like I've previously bought it. Don't ever remember using it lol.

 

[riz]

Make sure you get the Wilko glass cloth to go with it

 

[imprezaworks]

Minimum order is 3 lol

If you want an effective pre wash I highly recommend hdd road rage. It's the best one I've used.

Used neat I'm guessing 😉😂

Have a couple of near new waxes for saks too if anyone is keen. £32 delivered.

Just watched a youtube video on this (on a Qashqai) whats it like on wax? I guess no worse than a caustic snowfoam?
I need to change from Autosmart Ultra Mouse which is caustic - but at the dilution into 1L i guess it doesnt do much harm?

Did you ever dry any of the Menzerna polishes @imprezaworks ? Got some and the sealant but no intentions of selling 🤣🤦‍♂️

 

[imprezaworks]

At the dillution I used 200ml in a 2 litre sprayer it didn't seem to affect it too much. But tbh for the speed of a spray sealant it's just as easy to go round the car after.

The 2500 is what I use mainly in work and I rate that and buy again.

👍

 

[trickstargee]

Im yet to play with my Das6 yet 🤣 but ive a silver car currently so no real chance to play...ive had a play on a black door and been impressed so far!

Wonder if i ran round with g101 at say 10:1 (water:g101) whether it would have a similar result as HDD Road Rage?

 

[imprezaworks]

Are you on detailing world?

No ref g101 mate. Just grab a litre or 5l bottle of hdd and thank me later.

 

[trickstargee]

No not on DW but just read your post. I think im going to have to try some now! Haha

Got some of that House of Shine Acid Wheel cleaner as the front wheels on my 3 series were terrible and KKD Brake Away wasn't touching them. Jesus Christ, people weren't lying about having to wear protection when using it. First few sprays smacked me right in the face and I nearly choked to death 😂 . A lovely smog then emitted from the wheel, a little agitation from a few little brushes, thoroughly rinsed down and they're like new. Literally every bit of baked on crap came off with ease, mega impressed!

It’s lethal stuff isn’t it? I was amazed at the results!

Depending on the weather you can see steam when you open the lid lol. It's very good stuff though. Don't get in a cut though.

If you haven't already bought that I can recommend the Sonax glass cleaner as well, product itself is probably not much different from other glass cleaners (I find they all work equally well) but the sprayer kind of foams it on the windows creating hardly any runners.

 

[imprezaworks]

I need a new snow foam thingy for my jetwash. But, I don't think any are going to fit, or I need a new hose/gun/line. The unit is a Halfords P20

You can see the snowfoam connector is tiny and it just pushes into the end of the lance

They do sell this one, but I can't figure out how it would fit

 

[imprezaworks]

Contact detailedonline. Very helpful and should have what you need.

 

[Cookson]

Cheers bud, I've dropped them an email. With the connector, it looks the same price as the hellfrauds one. I need to go in the garage and actually look at mine I guess

 

[imprezaworks]

Their snow lance at £25 is very good.

 

[Cookson]

£28.99 with 500ml of foam, which is what I will probably go for. Just realised my lance splits half way with a quickfit type adaptor, lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Think there may be a discount code too. Mmm...

When you speak to them mention you are a member on detailing world and what was the code. 99% sure they had an offer on recently.

Cheers bud. I will have a look now. I've still not ordered any shampoo and looking through their website, it all looks reasonably priced too, so I can see a big order going in lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Bought some Autoglym Autogloss Rinse last week as I was out of Aquawax.

I have to say, it’s probably the best drying aid I’ve ever used. Washing and drying a dark coloured 4x4 usually takes ages but this made it an absolute breeze. I’ll definitely not switch back to Autosmart Aquawax.

They do 3for2 and free delivery on anything. Their tyre cleaner is supposed to be very good.

Looks like their version of the spray on and rinse off coatings?

Aquawax was a fairly old school thing, I've still got some lying around somewhere.

I’m not interested in coatings and other gumf.

I just want a product that helps me to clean cars quickly and doesn’t leave streaks or smears and allows me to dry a big car with minimal effort. And this stuff rocked it honestly.
