Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Gally]

Seems like the order picking system at cyc isn't working very well at the moment. I've had two orders recently where they sent me incorrect items. One of those orders took them three tries to get right.

Good service and did their best to get it right though.

Same. They asked if I wanted a return label for the wrong item in the box....

What air fresheners are people using?

I do like Autosmart bottles but they gas you out...

Infinity Wax stuff looks interesting..

I had a freebie hanging one from In2detailing which lasted ages too.

I just use the magic tree type. Blue and the black. I've got loads so last me ages.

Loads together off the mirror?! Uber style?🤣🤣

 

[imprezaworks]

Was a very strong mot advise. Very strong.

California Car Scents for me. The xtreme ones were so much better but can't find them anywhere now so I just go for the normal ones, still last ages and always get compliments on them when people get in my car.

Grabbed this while I was at ALM this morning for a Geo setup on the E92 before we head away tomorrow for some NC500 action.

Gonna go wash it in a bit but looking forward to seeing the finish after @Gally etc recommended it earlier

 

[Jekyll]

I like it. Would recommend it.

Smells delicious too.

 

[-Jamie-]

Yeah, it's good.



One of the easiest products I've used and leaves a great finish, glad I bought some now and it'll end up being my go to drying aid now

Not sure why tapatalk ruins the quality sometimes

Stop using Tapatalk and use your browser. The website is optimised now for it. Works great. 👍🏻

Rapid detailer we still buy by the gallon. Some offer different advantages but I feel like this ticks the most boxes. Funny the forensic detailing said the same. Some other miss out in areas but RD seems to just always work every time. I use it all the time. It costs me £6 for 500ml, so hard to beat for that!

 

[leeds2592]

Anyone tried the QDX Ceramic? How's it compare to the rapid detailer? Sorry if its already been mentioned in this thread somewhere.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I rate it

 

[imprezaworks]

👍👍

Old school there with the FinishKare.

Always remember their stuff being decent.

Still got a tin of the 1000p hi-temp wax, always nice to use on wheels.

 

[imprezaworks]

Really nice to use. Leave for 20 mins

 

[imprezaworks]

Wanted this for ages. Smells superb too.

@leeds2592

Want me to pop some in a small bottle and send it? Qdx.

does anyone use BH atom mac on brake discs when cleaning wheels to stop the discs going rusty? i saw someone do it on youtube and i find BH auto wheel leaves the disc rusty

yeah i do all the time. I find its best to apply it dry on the discs first thing. Then let it dry a bit while you set up buckets etc. otherwise you just rinse it off straight away with the jet wash. It doesnt totally stop them rusting but it does help keep the worst off like when using auto wheels. Really useful on gloss black wheels that look awful with rusty dust all over them

Appreciate the offer but don't worry, was only asking as they've got bottles of it on their imperfects bit so a bottle is only just over 5 quid so will just give it a go. Thanks though!

 

[riz]

Oh yes. I love Infinity Wax. Haven't had a bad product yet.

 

[riz]

AF Triple is really hard to remove. I've only used a tiny bit but it's pretty oily....
Any tips?!?!

 

[imprezaworks]

Always found it super easy tbh

 

[MLB]

I never got on with the stuff, didn't like how it was to remove and found my pads and towels hard to clean afterwards.

Not much use, only advice I can give is buy something else haha.

 

[imprezaworks]

Try a damp applicator If you don't already

 

[riz]

Just used Garage therapy decon shampoo, really good stuff. Car is super clean!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't need much too 👍

 

[riz]

Im thinking i probably need to change my normal shampoo . Any reccomendations?

 

[imprezaworks]

Car chem 1900 i like. Not tried but the Reset shampoo is rated.

 

[JamesBryan]

Reset or Gtechniq Gwash

 

[riz]

Isnt carpro reset similar to GT decon?

 

[JamesBryan]

Don't know.

Reset doesn't strip coatings though i know that.

@Gally I’ve seen you asked on Detailing World earlier in the year about which connector type the Titan pressure washers use. Did you ever get an answer? Or better still, do you now have one to say for sure?

I have a Kranzle so can't be much help mate. Seemed to be a bit of a minefield bit the titan PWs get a great rep. Just not sure on fitment.

For a snow foam Lance? If so it’s a type 11 RAC Bosch… I ordered from here:

SNOW FOAM LANCE V2 + 500ml LAVA FOAM

Foam Lance V2 + 500ml LAVA Foam Choice of Apple, Cherry or Bubblegum foam. Leave a note at checkout with your choice of fragrance or a random one will be sent This foam cannon gives you excellent performance every time. It provides a thick, dense foam and comes complete with an adapter to suit...

if not apologies, but I spent days researching Titan fittings for a snow foam Lance!
