I thought people would appreciate my colleagues truck.

The whole thing was like that. I couldn't believe it.

My mates car was like that. Took AF combo 3 with two hits then number 2 and triple to get it out fully. Just wouldn't go haha horrendous that though haha!

50 cals glaze crushes other glazes,so much i have a nearly full af ultra glaze going up for sale, if anybody wants it let me know

 

[_Tom]

Looks awesome Tom, what did you seal it in with?

C2 v3 matey.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Need to get a few bits together ready for polishing our red Audi S3. It's very swirly!
Any recommendations in pads? Get hexlogic? I have sonus pads, their crap.
Have a full set of menzerna polishes and a das6 pro.

Have a clay mitt to use, and need to 're stock iron x and a QD.
Need a decent glaze, wax and sealant though.
If anyone has any part used stuff their looking to sell I may be interested. (Unless it's very expensive high end stuff, lol)

This is going to end up expensive. [emoji14]

Discovered I'd had a leak in the garage this morning. 80% of a big bottle of bilberry wheel cleaner.

 

[imprezaworks]

Oops. Looks like the done and dusted is contaminated. Ok, I will take it.

 

[imprezaworks]

I emailed carpro this morning to see if they would be interested in any group buys of their stock. Not sure if this has been done before? Would anyone be interested and if so what products? It was just an idea so apologies if I'm stepping on anyone's toes

Keep me posted

I feel like spending money.

 

[Gally]

What kind of group buy are you guys looking for? New Reload? Dlux? Forte?

 

[imprezaworks]

They asked me to get ideas on what products really

 

[aucky]

Hydro2 is always good to keep stocked

 

[Gally]

Let me know and I'll text Craig. Hydro2 is a good shout.

 

[Gally]

How about Hydro2 lite? Great straight forward?

 

[imprezaworks]

They do iron x? I'd be interested in that. Kev is it worth you setting a group buy of sorts as you know him?

 

[Gally]

Of course. Just seems silly to send emails back and forth.

Just need to decide what you want and I'll try and organise it. You get 7.5% or 10% off just now so even ordering anything yourself is cheaper.

 

[-Jamie-]

How much cheaper is it realistically going to be over what we already get with the discount though? Seems a bit of a waste of time IMO

 

[Gally]

It usually isn't much tbf. Margins aren't big on products that aren't rebranded/rebottled etc.

 

[imprezaworks]

It was just a thought really.

 

[Gally]

Nowt wrong with asking.

Something like an IX and Hydro2 lite bundle might be advantageous.

 

[imprezaworks]

After having a quick look, yeah both of those and a couple of micro fibre towels.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Iron x and tar x is a winning combo

Hydr02 lite or reload '15 and some boa MF's

 

[sburrell93]

Heard of someone using petrol as tar remover. Bad idea or cheap alternative? I'd have thought it could damage the paint personally!

Bit old school tbh.

 

[Coby.]

Pretty sure it'll work but wouldn't be recommended when Tardis is so cheap.

Think I've still got loads of Tardis left but want to try Tar X now.

 

[Gally]

PM me your address Coby and i'll fire a sample down to you mate in a little spray bottle?

 

[Knuckles]

Bit pikey tbh.

As is wd40 and blu tak lol.

I have Gtechniq G1 on my shower doors

It is actually really good for getting deep rubber marks out etc. My dad's car had been tracked and hit a cone and had all rubber down the side. Just got some petrol on a rag and it came straight off whereas none of my other stuff would touch it!

 

[Knuckles]

People use it to remove the adhesive which holds door mouldings on some cars.

My saab with gyeon sealent

The clio with 50cal and gyeon today

 

[ADS_V6]

nice m8 beading on 2nd pic is much better tighter beads

 

[imprezaworks]

G5 still the best for rain repelant. Tired of trying not so good stuff

 

[Gally]

Little teaser for later. I'll get it done eventually! Soke in the bath required!

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice. Used the art de shine nano sealant. Gave the car three coats, was quiet in work.

Awesome stuff and a little goes along way

 

[aucky]

Nice @gally
Look forward to seeing it. I need to get round to doing mine again properly. Planning to use Crystal Rock over Strata

f**king love Strata. Just wish it wasn't so expensive compared with the likes of CQUK.

 

[imprezaworks]

Mmm, think it's just called art de shine. He's on detailing world. It is a spray sealant but I just use an applicator pad. You really don't need much
