Sweet. Cheers Gally. The arch liners on mine are really letting the overall look down.
If I can pop down on Sat, have a gander at the Panzer's arches, RDR - they were C4'd almost two years ago and still squeaky clean. Can talk you through it.

Quick question.....
What if any, products do people use on colour coded bump strips?
I'm not using anything at the moment (just a wash) but they are really letting the overall finish of the car down once it has had a good clean.
Just wondered if there is anything i can do to improve the look of them? They look really dull and faded compared to the rest of the car.
Any advise would be much appreciated

You have to specify on ordering. They all come as the same main part, but with optional fitments to fit Nilfisk, Karcher, Halfords etc...

think most list the nilfisk fitting as Kew / Alto IIRC

very few seemed to mention nilfisk until recently when they have become more popular

^^ On the subject of snow foam. I've tried avalanche a couple of times now, it seems to work, but it seems to miss the.. 'Foam' part. It doesn't look very impressive. I know thats not the point and it is doing it's job, I've tried stronger and weaker dilutions, also tried cold and warm water. Nothing. Any idea's how to get it to foam properly? Or does it just..Not?
You read that back, Kev? Are you asking or telling?!
I just use the actual sun, I start walking round the car f**king bobbing up and down and s**t trying to catch the angles neighbors must think I'm bonkers. Effective enough for me though.
Bit annyoed at myself actually as after getting a pretty good correction on the paint I decided to park up on the drive which means running along side a bit of bush, it seems to have grown a bit since I last parked on the drive as it really rubbed along the paint, that will be some new marks in the paint then.

.I have a DIY sun gun. I think its brilliant!
Still don't know wether to get avalanche or not
Dont its s**t.
Get citrus snowfoam or a decent Pre wash like that deamon's shine Rapid Shifter

No one on here use Chem Guys no touch?
Without a doubt the best I've used. I can get away with not even putting a mitt to the mothers car lol.

Looking into it and found this reply, which worries me - from DW, ChemGuys supporter;
When diluted as per dilution ratios its not far off being PH neutral
Oh and imo RDS definitely had an adverse affect on some protection on a TTS I detailed. I trialled it on a few panels but slowed down the sheeting quite a lot on the areas used.
I wouldn't have used it on my Migliore anyway but just a note of caution.

I did wonder this when I first started using it. Can't remeber what the LSP was now it did seem to affect water behaviour a little, but was still present.
