All I'm wanting is something that will take quite a bit of dirt off before I touch it with the wash mitt, 2 bucket method etc etc.

Was looking at try the ValetPro Citrus Pre Wash.

Alright guys. Ive got a titanium Silver 182 with what I would consider to be med - light swirls. Doesnt appear its been repainted at any stage. What colour CG Hex Logic pads should I be using?
 
hi. My snow foam lance has packed up after a good few years. Could anyone recommend a decent replacement please. i think i paid about 30-40 quid for the last one. Same sort of price would be good. many thanks.

I have the Autobrite Direct one. My first snow foam lance so cant comment on others but its brilliant. Only slight issue ive had is that the metal fixing is beginning to cross thread the plastic bottle.
 
Just noticed the leather stuff i have have is only the Leather Conditioner not the Cleaner. My Dad has a very old bottle of Meguirs Leather / Conditioner. Question is is the Meguirs still ok to use regardless of the age / does it go off?

Or should i buy a seperate Leather Cleaner?
 
Another question,

On a video i saw, it mentions that on a brand new car just from the showroom. The paint needs to breath i.e gases to escape for a fair few months. I.E not able to use Wax, Sealant and so on, Is this true?

Not sure but cheap Pears Soap from a chemist cleans leather really well.

Just googled it and the Leather Cleaner itself donesn't go off but the Conditioner does. I'll have to invest in some Cleaner, thanks for the recomendations
 
This is a loaded question, but does anyone know if it would be OK to use Megs Hybrid Ceramic Wax as a top up over Britemax Igneous?

I'm not a huge fan of Remax as it's wipe off.
 
Si02 based so essentially the same thing and should be fine. If you dont like to wipe off Gyeon wet coat is good stuff and worth a look at. Gtechniq C2v3 is wipe off but really easy to use tbh.

Yeah that's my thinking also. Remax mk2 can be applied neat and wet but you just contaminate the drying towel, it's definitely better as a wipe on wipe off application which is effort for a top up.
 
Forgot how long all this 'detailing' lark takes.

Just stripped the car right back, Quick whip around with the DA to get a bit of clarity back in the paint and a coat of Reload. Job jobbed.

Their wheel cleaner is pretty good. Bought a few of those when it was on sale.
 
Seen a few reviews on detailing world. Seems like its decent enough for the money. Nothing to write home about. Worth a try if they're cheap though?
 
The clean and hand polish..

I'm sure they're all much like for like but anyone recommend a detailing brush? Just something to scrub over the grills whilst it's foamy and also I've just sent away to get my calipers resprayed so want to keep them looking fresh (without having to remove the wheels)

Guys, has anyone here used Soft99 King Of Gloss? It's basically a wax I've been meaning to get for some time, I finally got some today whilst it was 8x nectar points LOL.

I don't really know how to apply it yet, but I've also got myself a 'Clay mitt' to try, so my plan is;-

Snowfoam

Rinse

Shampoo like mad

Any tar remover gets done now

Shampoo again

Rinse

Loads of shampoo for lube and then clay mitt?


- Do I need to shampoo again now?

Then try the new king of gloss afterwards?

God damn noobs.. cheers

Sounds like a good plan. What I would do is whilst claying use snowfoam to lubricate the car so foam a few panels then clay whilst soapy. But yes ,wash after claying .

King of gloss is incredible for value , I think it's £20 for a big tin. If you have the money get fusso light or fusso dark too . Fusso by soft99 lasts absolutely ages. My go to on my daily car is fusso, then after the next wash a week later king of gloss on top.

King of gloss is great though,nice and easy to use . Remember not to apply it thick!
