Placed an order with Tim on Tuesday. It'd better turn up tomorrow.

Can anyone recommend a wax for white cars? Good durability etc

 

[imprezaworks]

Was just going to ask that too

 

[JamesBryan]

Most tend to go with a sealant on white cars.

Gtechnic C2v3 or Auto Finesse Tough Coat for easy use.

Should get 3-6 months protection.

 

[Gally]

Do you want easy spray sealant or something wax like, Z2 for eg.

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd like to try a wax, or may just try tough coat.

 

[Scott™]

Yes I would ideally prefer wax.

I need of a bunch of new MF Pads, Anyone recommend me some?

 

[Yellow Dave]

Applicator pads? You can't beat the Meguiars even coat ones, but the basic cheap ones with the elastic strap will suffice

 

[Coby.]

Yeah I've got a a couple of the Megs one's but as everything seems to now be applied via MF Pads rather than Foam pads I need a load more.

IPA/Panel wipe or G2 if you have enough mate. It'll remove the residue.

 

[Scrooge]

Some stripper scent just landed on my desk, along with a few other things. Love the smell of that stuff, shame it doesn't last long!

 

[Coby.]

Think I need to go over my front screen with G2 again, Was worried about using too much and now see a few streaks once some condensation builds on it

recommendations for bulk buy shampoo's please. I know what's available but not used many of them, especially the Megs hyperwash and shampoo plus. Must be non gloss and wax enhacing so I can use it with fussy LSP's like nano coatings.

Currently using AF Lather, nothing wrong with it at all just considering alternatives

AF Lather £35 for 5L (£7 / 1l)
GTechniq GWash £32.24 for 3.8L (£8.42 / 1l)
Megs hyperwash £33.50 for 3.8L (£8.81 / 1l)
Megs shampoo plus at £24.50 for 3.8L (£6.44 / 1l)

 

[Scrooge]

Stick with AF or get Gtechniq imo.

 

[Yellow Dave]

I was thinking the same TBH, and with another formula of Lather now released it should sud up well, but thought I'd explore the other options.

Hyper wash, if you're talking bulk and dilution ratios. John from PB did some calcs a while ago. Smashed the others out of the park.

 

[Scrooge]

Really?! Got any links, I may give it a go if that's the case.

 

[Yellow Dave]

CYC claim 400:1, does that sound about right to what you use it to? As I use a little less with Lather.

What's it like though? it's been years since I've used it and can't really remember.

PB only mention it as a pre wash not a shampoo as all the other suppliers state.

 

[JD]

He posted 400/1 for every wash. So if you're taking a standard 13l bucket, that's 32.5ml of HW. So 116.9 washes, which is 28p per wash.

Tha.

See above chap, same thing he did, but less confusing IIRC!

Slick in hard and soft water, suds well, cleans well as a pre wash and a shampoo. I swear by it. Still got my second bulk buy. That's several years from one...

 

[Scrooge]

Bloody hell, tbf though I always overdo it!

Depends how geeky you want to get. I found a push down soap/liquid dispenser (chemical resitant) that dispenses 40ml at time and shoved it in the container to ensure I got my monies worth

 

[Scrooge]

Lol 'squeeks when he walks'

I open lid and pour, walk away as it's filling then come back to a sea of bubbles!!!! Laarvely!

 

[Yellow Dave]

I did get a couple of dispensers for the 5L bottles, but they chuck out a load in one go. Never actually measured it but always way more than is needed.

Off topic a little. anyone still able to get RDS at a discounted price? all my local supermarkets are either sold out or £6+. I have 500ml left so will be buying either 5L of AF citrus power, Valet Pro ANSF or citurs pre wash if I can't find any soon

 

[Scrooge]

Went to sainsbury's on Friday and picked a few up for £2.19 I'll get you some and JD some when I go tomorrow if it's still there of course.

Lol, instantly thought of "your mom's dating SQUEAK". Legendary film.

 

[Yellow Dave]

My local sainsbury's have been sold out since the offer and not re-stocking so far.

Will have to resort to diluting unless i get something soon.

As Ant has said fella. I'm checking one last place tonight and if they don't have it, I'll be relying on Sir Anthony of TheUnitington.

 

[Cliotoby]

Thought hyperwash had s**t in it?

Hated that stuff. Rather shampoo plus, but if nano sealant then its Gwash or BTBM or nothing IMO.

Peace out.

 

[Scrooge]

Haha!

I found Diluting it to be a bit poo tbh.
