Not something I've ever needed to do really, even In work.

Options are obvious so maybe someone else has used a product to help etc.

I'm going to give it a bash tomorrow, but I think it's going to keep undoing itself every time I take it off the gun to put the normal hose end on. I didn't think this through

Shouldn't do, you want at least half a dozen wraps of tape around it, that'll keep it tight then.

Is there anything that can sort a scratched windscreen?
Previous owner must have cleaned it with a Holly bush inside and out.

Cerium Oxide glass polish on a dual action polisher.

We used to use jewellers rouge or cerium oxide to polish out very fine scratches at work. But you'll be there for hours and hours and hours. New windscreen would be the better option.

Ceriglass and a rayon pad but don't expect miracles

Any other sets / products recommend? I have alot of kit already but it's a good 5 years since I've been interested in cleaning cars so I'd like to refresh the kit!

 

[imprezaworks]

Could probably do that quite a bit cheaper tbh. Decent brand though.

Gyeon stuff is good but it would be slightly cheaper separately with other brands.

For the price the IW is a no brainer for me.

Ordering the IW set for a starter.

What glass sealant is recommended lately?

 

[imprezaworks]

Would have a mooch at detailed online too. They do 3for2 and delivery on anything is foc

I thought the gyeon was good and easy to use. They brought out the new stick thing also.

The new stick thing is the one im looking at, its not cheap at £24, how many cars are you likely to get from one stick?

Fusso Glaco thing is good as well ime, cheaper than the Gyeon and looks kinda similar

Probably a lot. Apply it to a pad like a normal wax.

I think the pad is on the stick so the fluid or whatever comes from behind the pad. I imagine you would get like 10 cars. It says 120ml!

 

[JamesBryan]

I've got the Gyeon Quickview, it goes on pretty much the same as RainX.

You'll get plenty of cars out of it.

I actually use IW Diamond Vision. I like the fact I can reapply with a spray and jetwash off.

 

[imprezaworks]

Anyone tried a decent snow foam or should I just re stock auto foam lol.

Not this…

It’s complete crap… reckon demon foam gives more actual foam…

Looked at that before but never and now won't lol

I’m going to try it with a much more concentrated mix but for the amount inside it was really poor, bought 5 litres of of meguairs as well to use when I throw this in the bin!

If you want a strong pre wash I'd go with hdd road rage or auto foam

 

[treemanx]

Tried some EZ deflector shield at the weekend on the wife's car (save the good stuff for my own car). It was my first experience with a spray on sealant and I was really impressed by the ease of use and sheeting. So much so that I used up on mine afterwards. I'm not expecting much durability wise, but will see how long it lasts. Any recommendations on a more premium brand version?

Just noticed IW releasing another mystery box tomorrow [emoji102]

Anyone else bought the IW mystery box?

I decided to get that, go through what kit I already have and then place some orders from there

No, I've ordered 2 previously!!!

 

[MatthewR]

Any good on the previous two you've ordered?

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol. Either you have too much stuff or it's a bit pants.

 

[riz]

Yes.
Interior cleaner
Wheel cleaner
Pads
QD.

The limited edition stuff is a bit naff.

 

[treemanx]

MD10 discount code still works by the way. I'm debating pulling the trigger still...

I’m a big fan of garage therapy’s offerings.

It's good tbh I used it (admittedly in a pump spray bottle) but now use bilt hamber. People are easily tricked by the more foam = more cleaning power but as you know it's not always the way and I can vouch for W4 cleaning power not so much the price which is why I use BH.

 

[imprezaworks]

For out and out cleaning power use hdd road rage.

 

[Geddes]

What’s peoples thoughts on Water Spot Remover, is one better than others? I’ve got water spots not that bad from last year it’s on the pano roof, bonnet those type of places. Was thinking of getting it done ready for the summer. Was thinking of getting some Gteqniq or Gyeon stuff

 

[Sidnancy]

I've not used many but a couple. Go for a well known one and you won't go far wrong.

If you want to remove spots and add a little bit of protection, Koch Chemie FSE is amazing. Smells lovely too

IW box came today, unfortunately two of the items have leaked.

Not overly impressed with the products in the box if I'm honest but that's the luck of the draw with these things!

Spoken to IW and they have requested photos and will come back to me, let's see how they handle this!

Not impressed with the contents either to be honest. They're pretty good customer service wise, I had something missing and they sent me a £10 gift card.

This rings a bell. Think I got an air freshener or something and it was awful lol

The bouncers mystery boxes are supposed to be very good

 

[MatthewR]

Spoke to the on the phone, asked for an email with photos and then received an email back within 10mins advising they will send replacements.

Any idea what the yellow puck style thing is for?!
