Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

This is easily the best I've used. 200ml but probably get away with 150ml in a 2 litre sprayer. Wait 5 mins ish, done.

This is something I need advice/help on.

My other halfs car was filthy yesterday, hadn't been washed in ages, I sprayed liberally with ValetPro Citrus which had been diluted as per the bottle instructions and it did f**k all. My rinse bucket and mitt were absolutely filthy after.

I've used snowfoams in the past and they've had little effect as well.

Best product to use? Not bothered about it stripping coating as I usually give a spray of CC Hybrid and blast that off to ease with drying after every wash anyway.

For heavier soiling I usually go for a 60/40 mix of snowfoam and citrus pre-wash, does the trick usually

I love how disappointed he looks at 3:10 😂

That car looks like what I was contending with yesterday and mine did nowhere near that good of a job. Think I diluted it at 8:1 as well. That HHD stuff looks really good though, may have to give it a go!

I garauntee you won't be dissapointed

I'm gonna purchase some after work.

What dilution rate do you go at?

 

[imprezaworks]

150/200ml per 2 litre sprayer.

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

150/200ml per 2 litre sprayer.

That's weak for you 😂

Are Stubby guns anything you would get in stock? Looking for one for a Nilfisk.

Cheers!

Same, brilliant service!

@Hxrry I take it the rinse aid is like a spray sealant kind of thing? You say put it through a lance? Can it be done in a spray bottle as well or nah? Either way, I will give it a blast this weekend and report back

Also purchased a 15m rubber hose from DirectHoses. I bought the flexiwash one from them last year but the bugger still kinks so I've gone full hog this time!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looking forward to getting the detail spray. That and sigma by garage therapy seem to be the only ones my car likes. Well rapid detailer by autoglym too but not as nice.

Glad you got it promptly and safely! Thanks again for the kind words!

I've not attempted using it through a spray bottle in all fairness, but you've sparked my interest. I'll give it a go later on and see how I get on, then I will report back!

How good does it smell!!

You're the legend for ordering from SO WAX!

Enjoy the rinse aid, please leave feedback!

I write notes with every order, it may take up chunks of my days sometimes but I think it gives a personal touch that's lacking from the bigger brands.

Thanks again!

 

[imprezaworks]

Arrived safe and sound. Gotta love the detail spray smell. Hopefully get to use them this weekend and will report back.

I mean, I've still got no sense of smell since covid but I’ll take your word for it 😂

Let us know about the rinse aid. I've got a lance so can put it in there if needs be, I just like not faffing around with it and have stuff in spray bottles tbh.

Haha, that sucks. How long ago did you have covid??

I've tried it in a trigger bottle, it works but i'd say through a lance is better. Either way you'll dry your car in no time!

Happy days! As always, that's perfect!

Can get autofinesse stuff from Halfords, so probs citrus power by them.

 

[imprezaworks]

Try power maxed tfr. If you have amazon prime

Auto Finesse Citrus Pre-Spray is very good. It’s just not very cost effective as it can’t be diluted.

If it's any help i can guarantee Friday delivery if I can post it out before 2pm

Shade

 

[Stay Puft]

There isn’t much of that 😩

 

[Fantastic Nostrils]

As above.

At least you have shade. Sunlight from 8am to sunset over at my place. Does my fkin head in. Plus, my water filter is playing silly buggers so water spots for daaaaays

 

[imprezaworks]

And black cars suck ass.

 

[Hxrry]

I looooove cleaning cars when it's like this, makes it more of a challenge and the results are harder earned lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Make sure the cars cool. Not spoiler and sport seats cool.
