Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

[Al_G]

I'm waiting to place an order with in2detailing so will grab some air fresheners too.

Has anyone used garage therapy snow foam

Yes, I've got 5L's...What do you want to know?

I've got pretty much every GT product.

Reviews seems pretty decent and if it's like their Decon shampoo the dillution ratio is very good?

What have you tried as a comparison?

Quite a few. BH autofoam, AB Magifoam etc.

It’s ok but I don’t think the cleaning power is as good as autofoam (even when cranked up to max ratio). Personally I’d go for BH touchless.

 

[imprezaworks]

What did you think of magifoam

 

[Al_G]

What did you think of magifoam

Awful.

No cleaning power at all, just lots of foam. TBH I’m not impressed with GT’s snow foam. I use it to layer over Infinity Wax pre-wash (which is bloody excellent.

I love the GT interior cleaner though annd their wheel shampoo. The shampoo range is great.

Saves me a purchase.

I may just stick with the power maxed tfr. That's very good, I just like a bit of foam every now and then lol.

In that case go for BH touchless or wax planet 8 below.

GT foam is the only product from them that hasn’t impressed. Tried once and straight back to BH.

 

[imprezaworks]

Suprised as their other stuff is really good

Big f**king car today! Dusted off my Bigfoot for today's challenge. S350!

Oh and BH clay is still the s**t likes!

 

[imprezaworks]

Which grade clay?

 

[dann2707]

I may go back to using a clay bar. Had mits for a few years now and I'm not 100% convinced they are anywhere near as effective as a bar.

 

[imprezaworks]

Assume you don't have any issues with marring using a mitt.

I tend to just use a fallout remover.

Mitts are great if the cars not too badly contaminated, I’ve found they don’t offer the same amount of cleaning for deeper contamination.

I’ve wanted one for so long! Just using the compressor at the moment. Which one you gone for?

The best thing for a black car!

Read this as cat dryer with that emoji

Best thing for a black car is a water filter.. neighbours have a softener for the house - it's incredible when hosing the car off and nothing is left behind at all.

New car excitement!!

Black cars suck ass. Well older ones do.

Mate I’ve been busy updating my detailing products. I’ve also ordered a water softener filter. Very very excited 😆

I’m going to try it again. Didn’t seem to shift anything.

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you tried hdd road rage

 

[andy_coops]

Have you tried hdd road rage

Nope. Any good?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yup, very. 200ml pump sprayer (2litre), leave 10 mins. Adios dirt.

Has been reports of not knowing what's in it, but It cleans lol.

Ironically we have the same car and by chance cane across the video

I’ll probably stick with my trusty BH - I tried Power Maxxed foam years ago and it cleaned my driveway better than anything I ever used. Turned out it was foaming TFR and a strong one!

I was too tight to buy a proper one and went for a pet dryer from Amazon - turned out to be pretty decent. Especially good on the bike - particularly after a deep clean of the chain and gears.

Power maxed tfr at £14 is also very good.

BH soft clay. Just so good.

Oh and mitts are great. Cloths definitely do more damage but the mitts seem to offer a bit of curvature so you can move it better causing less damage.

I also like the fact its white and I can see how dirty it is. Grey mitts hide a lot!

 

[Gally]

Polished with Sonax perfect finished and waxed with infinity wax supergloss+.

I did the same with the Jag.

I used a DA one on this but any yellow will work.
