Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Jay.S]

Took advantage of the i4detailing closing discount and got some Gyeon tar remover & Gyeon iron going to test them tomorrow. Got some new Britemax cleanmax shampoo aswell.

Made the mistake of taking the top off the iron remover in the house. :dizzy:

The Iron remover is brilliant, but yes it does stink

 

[Yellow Dave]

Thanks but I have rather a nice basket of carpro products for a bit of a restock so I'll probable order some anyway

 

[Yellow Dave]

gyeon tar, iron and prep are pretty decent

 

[Jay.S]

Yeah I've been impressed by thier products in the past so thought with the discount they are well worth a go.

Tried the new revive dressing on my very grey grill

 

[Gally]

It's painted grey it's not textured though. Ie it needs to be painted darker.

 

[imprezaworks]

Still impressed with how it turned out

 

[ADS_V6]

top job on the grill mate looks fresh

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers. Yeah it looks good. I contemplated taking it off and spraying it so this saves me a job

 

[ADS_V6]

[_Tom]

If you wipe it with alcohol first, even when the revive fades it'll look darker than before

 

[imprezaworks]

Okie dokie. 99% sure the car is going to be sold today so will pass that on

Little teaser for my next write up.

Anybody recommend a good dedicated glass cleaner microfibre?

Not from me, but generally the shorter the pile the better IME. The cheap Gtechniq grey ones are alright.

Also, GTech G6 perfect glass is excellent! My new favourite product of its kind.


Whilst I'm on glass, I used Angelwax H2O Go t'other day. Application was a doddle, haven't had it out in the rain yet though. Will report back.

You're on fire lately!

Wheel arches.

Going to get the wheels off and go over the arches soon, how does everyone protect them? I was thinking Hydr02.

 

[Yellow Dave]

How long are you wanting to do it? hydr02 will be good for coating all areas, but the clio arch linings take well to DLUX/C4

 

[Amos91]

Just browsing the Aldi special buys and thought I'd share -

https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thur-13-aug/product-detail/ps/p/diy-tote-bag-2/

Model 1 might make for a good detailing bag?

Temporarily. I need new arch liners as mine have holes in, so I support Hydr02 will last for a month or two.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Hydr02 or similar would be fine. Or the chemical guys dressing bare bones

 

[Yellow Dave]

@gally I know you used migliore strata coating white a bit and liked the applicator/ application. I used it at the weekend and although fairly easy, I felt the applicator sponge was a little grabby when moving over an area of uncoated panel. Felt lovely when going back over a coated area but almost like the sponge with product didn't glide over bare paint.

How have you found durability?

 

[Gally]

Well I kept in touch with the owner of the white ST and he's the opposite of a decent detailer but he couldn't believe what the stuff did.

The thing that impressed me was it was sheeting beading like day 1 after months.

In regards to application, it's been my favourite of any coating. Trying to think what you mean, are you using enough? Only reason I ask is it's different to some others, the applicator seems to load so well and keeps spreading.

 

[sburrell93]

What snowfoam does everyone rate? I still haven't found any that removes as much as magifoam, but I'm keen to try something else because magifoam doesn't appear to be stocked by many of the usual online shops (CYC, i4detailing etc.) and it's a pain at times like this when I'm looking to buy a few different things, and need to pay postage for stuff from two different places.

 

[Gally]

I think a prewash spray is much better. Bilthamber does clean well though.

 

[sburrell93]

What would you recommend for a prewash Kev? I like using snowfoam, but I'm ideally just looking for some way to keep touch washes to an absolute minimum on my civic after I give it a going over with the DA as the paint is so soft on it. So open to suggestions really.

 

[aucky]

Valetpro combo 2 is pretty strong.

If you want cleaning power though just add some pre wash or APC to the mixture.

 

[cafcross]

Anyone interested in a hardly used (4 coats on a Fiesta) tub of Zymol Carbon?

Also got a near brand new full pack of these if anyone is interested? Missing two which I have used, but the rest are brand new.

[imprezaworks]

How much out of interes

 

[cafcross]

Brushes probably about £6 posted.

Wax retails at around £55-£60 new, so probably about £35 posted.

 

[imprezaworks]

Will have a think mate

 

[cafcross]

Cool. I'm still deciding on whether or not to sell the wax. I really want a tub of Britemax Vantage, and can't justify having 3 waxes as well as a sealant.
