Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Hxrry]

@Hxrry

have you got any stubby lances with the Nilfisk fitment?

Hi mate,

I'm waiting on these to come into stock. Hopefully next week.

I'll post up when they are back in stock

Washmit recommendations please guys. Seems my lambswool one ended up in the dryer

 

[imprezaworks]

This is all I buy. And I've tried others.

Washmit recommendations please guys. Seems my lambswool one ended up in the dryer

I’m using one of these now:

Microfiber Madness IncrediPad

The Incredipad is another choice of washing tool, for those who do not like to use mitts. Made with the same unique material of the Incredimitt, including the same gliding fibers | Earn Slim's Rewards

I’ve been using Ammo nyc guys method, one bucket chuck a load of microfibres in there, once the towels out don’t put it back in.

I have the same (think it’s the XL version though). I’ve used it weekly for the last 2 years and it’s still in great condition.

Assuming it's the same as the incredimitt I can recommend this too. I prefer the mitt because less chance I'll end up dropping it.

that’s great, thanks for that! Thanks for the heads up, I had issues before but thought they’d been sorted.

Product recommendation required please
I am keen on my clio 172 to clean the underside of the car with the sim to preserve it for a few more years

watched a few videos but could someone suggest the following please:
1. Products I need to buy
2. Any tools I might need beyond a hose/pressure washer, microfibres, brushes?
3. Anything to avoid
Thanks

pete

Product wise look at Bilt hamber. For protection mainly.

 

[Archtronics]

Any advice on gettting the swirls out of the gloss black plastic parts on a car.
Mirror caps, strips on the doors etc, do you just treat it like normal paint correction?

 

[Gally]

Soft polishes work best. Soft pads.

 

[Hxrry]

I love treating plastic bumpers

 

[imprezaworks]

The infinity wax graphene spray is very very good. Was on thr fence but used it today

Looks mint!

Ive got half a bottle of the Ceramic Version and the slickness is off the charts. Beading is top tier too. Doesnt quite give the depth of colour like my Polish Angel stuff but incredible for the price.

Think someone mentioned it earlier too but you can pick up some bargains on the Infinitywax website by looking at their 'damaged' stuff

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers.

I darent look lol

 

[Hixle]

Tried out @Hxrry’s shampoo and detailing spray.

Super glossy! I’m not far enough into detailing to tell the difference in shampoos, but the detailing spray in particular is fantastic.

 

[Gally]

Good combo though when you wash with something nice and then wipe down. The wipe down part is so important!

Look forward to trying some products out at some point Harry.

LOVE these. Wanted one but bought an S3 saloon instead and I massively regretted it. These are epic!

Glad to hear you're happy with the products!! Did you use the detail spray as a traditional qd or as a drying aid?

It’s a fantastic car man.

Just as a QD - will experiment as a drying aid next time!

Really cool product, paint feels instantly slicker. This is with AF Triple applied by machine a few weekends ago, then topped up with today’s wash and Detailing Spray.

New product live on the store, I like this one.. a lot

[Jekyll]

What bags do you all have for your products and polishers?

 

[riz]

Dodo juice bag.

Which is suspiciously like my tool bag for hammer/drill etc

 

[imprezaworks]

Fancy trying a new wax.

Upto 20, great beading, easy to use etc.

Up your budget £10 and get the new Gyeon wax.

Not tried it myself yet, but from what I've seen it's got crazy beading.

Easy on and off too.

 

[imprezaworks]

Missed out on a that on detailing world. New wax and other bits for 45 delivered, all gyeon iirc. But someone came along and bought everything the chap was selling. About £300 lol.

Bargain that

 

[MLB]

The Gyeon wax looks like a great wax, hadn't heard about it, which was good because I didn't need more wax. Now I do.

 

[imprezaworks]

That chap always has some decent well priced stuff.

 

[riz]

I have something from Infinity Wax. I'll have a look tomorrow.
