What product would be good for getting rid of oil spots on my interior.

I've an oil spot on the top of the rear seats and another next to the door switches on the door card material.

Both are really small spots but it does annoy me when I see them.

Thanks for any help.

Perfect for the job

Thanks @Hxrry

Brake cleaner. Well underrated cleaning product.

Ok, so I'll probably buy a das 6 pro. Is it worth spending a bit more and getting one with force drive?

 

[imprezaworks]

You mean a forced Rotation?

I'm very happy with my in2detailing da8. Better than a das pro imo

Anyone used those scrubber dubber pad things? I've just chucked a pack of 3 in my order from DetailedOnline as it was 3 for 2 on products.

Also brilliant for cleaning tyre walls.

Which pad should I use with Scholl S20 ?

I’ve now used my car dryer 3 times and it’s brilliant. It’s much more usable now that there’s a good couple of layers of C2v3 on the car. Expensive bit of kit but worth every penny.

3 things

1. I got 2 of these towels and they’re bloody brilliant - https://detailedonline.co.uk/collec.../dual-sided-twisted-loop-drying-towel-1400gsm

2. @Hxrry’s rinse aid makes drying the car even easier, great product

3. Swapped the end on my snow foam cannon from Nilfisk to quick release so I can use it with my stubby gun rather than having to flick between the stubby and Nilfisk. Thought I’d need to buy a full new cannon but managed to screw to Nilfisk adaptor off and fit a quick release to it. Makes it much easier now!

 

[imprezaworks]

Those towels that good?. Tried a few over the years and just never liked them

I have 2 of the Auto Finesse aqua deluxe drying towel and rarely even bother with the 2nd tbh. I like them because they're small too makes it a lot easier and less risk of dragging it on the floor.

I've noticed my Korean MF cloths from in2detailing have started leaving more fluff on the car not sure if they're starting to deteriorate or if maybe the infinity wax rapid detailer is a bit more static than C2v3. Maybe the ceramic has finally 100% gone too CSL is a 5 year coating but it's been 4 years and 30k so maybe the paint is just less slick now. Might just buy some more for the sake of the cost. These are what I have and I love them for finishing off the car. https://www.in2detailing.co.uk/prod...orean-microfibre-edgeless-car-detailing-cloth

Yeh man, I really like them.

I’ve been using 2 AF aqua deluxe towels for a while now and they’d gone to s**t and stopped being as absorbent as they were when they were new.

Only used one of the new ones and it dried my e92 no bother and no streaks. Well happy with them.

Glad to hear you're a fan of the rinse aid. I'm getting a lot of positive feedback from it!

Hopefully be ready for a full launch soon!

Everyone's support has been mental! Wheel Cleaner has nearly sold out completely, think theres 1/2 bottles left.

If anyones after some bargain prices but top quality products, check out https://so-wax.com

New toy arrived today just put a few orders in at Slims, In2D and Amazon can't wait to get some use out of it. Maybe some point down the line if I fancy some full details and I get on with this I'll get one of their bigger cordless polishers. Also tempted by the air blower seen as I can buy them without the charger and save some money now.

F*ck me, I'm jealous.

Enjoy the new toy!!

f**k my life that was a hard day.

All I’ve done is get it to a level that I can now give it a full valet tomorrow. Trying to tackle something as fucked as this in one hit would never work.

I’m broked.

What drying towels are people using at the moment? It's always been something I've hated doing drying a car!

I still really rate the CarPro ones. However with the car dryer I’ve not used towels the last couple of times I’ve washed the car. Great bit of kit which I highly recommend especially if you hate drying cars.

I'll be purchasing a dryer once we move house and I have a driveway / garage, not sure I can face the comments when using it in the back street / our on the road!

My Klin Korea twisted loop towel has been good for 2 years now.

I'd say any of the top Korean towels would be good enough.

Just got the detailing das8. Is it best to attach the hook handle?

 

[-Jamie-]

Personal preference tbf, I much prefer using them without

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I use mine without

I got 2 of these a few weeks ago and they're brilliant. I'm sure they're all the same/very similar no matter where you get them from but would definitely recommend

I've had a klin drying towel for years. Never let me down. Would always prefer blow drying! Especially a darker coloured car. Most damage comes from drying.

Get a DI vessel and you don’t need to bother drying it.

You do if you want to wax or polish the car 😅

Got one but it was bugging me in the colder months having to wait a while for it to dry before then going over with a quick detailer etc.

If you sheet it off there should be very little water left.

Turtle wax hydrophobic spray is less than £3 at ecp.

Turtle wax hydrophobic spray is less than £3 at ecp.

this stuff is fantastic.

I bought some once when it was equally as cheap and I honestly couldnt kill the stuff. Alkaline after alkaline wash and it just laughed at me. Ill be buying 3 bottles.
