Bilt Hamber Auto Wash.

Highly concentrated so works out cheap per wash. Doesn’t bubble up as much as others, but cleans really well and good lubricity (is that a word?):

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah have seen that. 300ml doesn’t seem a lot though lol. Like you say, don’t need much.

Really like wolfs white satin, was a tenner delivered on eBay.

 

[cafcross]

Tenner on Polished Bliss for 300ml. 30 washes out of that size.

 

[Gally]

Yeah it's a weird one! It's so lubricated but I need to have suds! Carpro reset for me as it's versatile!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I’d prefer suds lol.

Use the autosmart stuff currently. Last one was dooka shampoo which was nice.

Gave my dad the other bottle

 

[Mr R.]

The best shampoo I've used.

California scents.

I got some ages ago, think it was eBay?!?!
And they were a bit crap, so either fakes???!!?? Or old stock.

Anyone bought some recently and found them to be okay.

Halfords seemed to be ok for my last one. I think I need a spray, would make it fresher more regularly.

Ok cheers.

On amazon they are £10 for 4...

 

[James H]

Get the "extreme" versions of them. I always use the lightening linen one as it just smells clean

Thats definitely the way to go, quick spray now and again on the front mats. I do find the california scents come back to life when it gets hot and sunny.

Yeah really liking Bathe, got some Bathe+ too which is horrible to use as shampoo but great for topping up protection

Anyone tried this wax

Havent tried it myself but from reading your link it seems its a wax geared for longevity. I would probably opt for Fusso over that based on reviews and personal experience.

 

[imprezaworks]

Which fusso Gus?. Not too concerned with durability.

Stick to proper brands mate. They're just rebranded and that tin etc. It puts you off the waxing experience.

 

[Gally]

Fusso most folk agree it's grabby and not that nice. Wouldn't be my go toyou compare it to britemax vantage etc it just doesn't stand up.

If you want longevity and quality you go bilt hamber.

 

[Clio_fool]

Are all micro fibre cloths equal? Or is there a car quality one I should be looking for?

Definitely not! What purpose do you need it for? Different ones for drying, buffing, wiping, glass...
The Rag Company and Klin Korea are both popular in the towel world for example

Very nice wax to use, easy on and off. Beads and sheets well, as durable as bilt hamber double speed wax but a better finish.

What is it you want out of the wax?

I've just gone back to using some old favourites, zymol carbon and britemax vantage. Won't last as long but wow they're such nice waxes to use and leave a great finish.

 

[imprezaworks]

I like to try different stuff. A nice wet look would be good.

Looking into fallout remover too. Probably go with bh.

My car has zero protection on it and needs a good polish and wax, so cleaning and buffing.

 

[imprezaworks]

You got any waxes

Get the Costco ones mate. They’re really plush and vgvfm

 

[imprezaworks]

Have heard that.

Are they Kirkland?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah I’ve been using them for years. They’re awesome

 

[imprezaworks]

Will have to pick them up.

Every time I go (which isn’t too often) allways forget. That and we have lots of others in work.

Got some scented candles in the house and and some turtle wax I use on my cranium.

I don't know anyone who's a member, or where my nearest one is. Wife's car needs 2 new Michelin's too!

 

[imprezaworks]

From that your s**t out of luck.

Bar the turtle wax obviously.

You can buy them from their website. Saves making a trip for one item. But where is the fun in that I guess. Can’t get free food samples online.

Finally got around to trying some Auto Allure stuff I bought a few months ago.
5L iron remover
5L tar remover
5L Nano coating

The Iron and Tar removers work really well, very impressed with them, they are both a thick consistency so linger on the panels for much longer than some competitors. They were cheap in their 50% sale so a right bargain. Nano coating is what I use for cars I dont really care about, mainly as a drying aid. I pour it in to an old snowfoam lance and just spray the car down after the wash followed by a hose down. It works fairly well but not as well as other similar products, even demon shine is better. speaking of which, I quite like demon shine.

 

[imprezaworks]

How much was the iron out stuff. I’m keen on trying some.

Missed the bloody 50% deal

Yes, I believe that’s them.

Honestly, I thought I was robbing them.
I bought
5L iron remover
5L tar remover
5L Nano coating
3 DA pads
and I only paid £48 or something.

Bear in mind that was in their sale which they do now and again.

 

[imprezaworks]

Do they still come on here. Will drop them a message on detailing world and see if there is a future 50% off soon lol

They had a 30% offer on at the weekend. They do most weekends tbf

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Having said that, none of their stuff is as cheap as it used to be

 

[Clio_fool]

@imprezaworks keep a look out on Facebook for @autoallure discounts. I guess they joined a lot of club forums and don't have time to update them all. Not sure if the cliosport code still works either. Luxallure is a nice shampoo too

 

[imprezaworks]

I get the odd 30/40 off.

Just fancy an iron out
