Can anyone recommend a decent wheel brush?


Two black Mercs completed this weekend using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions wax and spray ceremic coating. Very impressed tbh. Very wet looking.

How do you lot wash machine polisher pads? I usually just throw everything in the washing machine 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

Still loving it??

Yup

 

[Stay Puft]

Ffs.

 

[NickReilly063]

Quick polish today and a bit of fresh-air

While polishing I use a pad washer and poorboys pad cleaner. Afterwards a good clean with the Poorboys stuff or fairy liquid. I've heard the velcro on the pads doesn't last as long and the pads might lose their shape in the washing machine but otherwise it can't hurt I guess.

 

[imprezaworks]

Hot water, fairy, nail brush, dry.

Gave this a try today, Good application and leaves a very silky finish and very glossy. Will have to see what its like next time it gets wet to test the beading!
Di the inlet as well, so thats nice a shiny

 

[Stay Puft]

Nice shine from your detail spray @Hxrry

 

[imprezaworks]

Superb imo

New LSP on its way from Infinity Wax.

Boasting all sort of durability claims. Not like IW to make false claims in my experience either.

Should be exciting!

 

[imprezaworks]

The whole 1, 2, 35 years durability does zero for me as a I like to buy and use other stuff

Can imagine the above would appeal for people to apply and forget.

Think I used a bit too much product on the first panel, was a little hard to buff off but after that it was very easy. Good shine!

Wicked! Looks awesome on black paintwork!

If you get two minutes, drop me a review on this post - https://cliosport.net/threads/so-wax-detailing-forum-reviews.838552/

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah just a spray per panel really

C2v3 really is still the dogs bollx on black cars.

Been using it years and it's so easy to use and gives great beading can't see myself removing it from my go to spray sealant anytime soon. I use infinity wax rapid detailer bannana edition and c2v3 and whenever I wash the car people always seem to ask what I'm using.

Quick wash today I've been using this local place recently so convenient I wish I'd been here sooner rather than getting stroppy bellends at the shell garage for using buckets at the jet wash 😂. Will be very handy come summer because it's well lit for night time washing.

 

[leeds2592]

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!

Tried the rinse aid this evening.

First impressions are I’m really impressed. Unfortunately couldn’t get any photos or videos as it was getting dark very quickly so was only a mega quick wash but it was a piece of piss applying it through the lance.

Instant protection, easier to dry and seems to have a good gloss to it as well! Put around 75ml into 350ml in the lance and only used half of it on the Clio so seems even the small bottle will last a good amount of time.

That jetwash station is immense! What a great idea.

I was thinking the same! Never seen anything like that around here.

Yep I have no idea why I didn't use it sooner as its been there nearly 2 years and just down the road. Makes life so much easier now.

 

[Gally]

Why did they not cover the last one? Big vehicles?

Great idea though! Going to have to buy more c2v3. I don't even like gtechniq but that product always always impressed. You only need to look at how many detail threads I used it on to see how good it is. Always felt the glossiest spray sealant. Most were a bit sterile.

I want to try bouncers si edition which seems very similar.

Glad to hear you're happy! It's still early days but the reviews have been positive.

40 degrees, quick wash setting, spin dry then air dry. No issues with deformation or backing pad coming away.

Do you add anything to the wash?

 

[andy_coops]

Regular washing liquid. To be fair, my pads are rarely clogged with polish as I’ll easily get through up to 20 on a session and switch out before they get too bad.

 

[Stay Puft]

20!! No wonder I struggle with 1 😂

 

[aucky]

TWENTY?

 

[andy_coops]

Up to 20, yep.

I used 3-4 MF cutting pads, 3 polishing and 2 finishing in 5”, similar number in 75mm when I did the Clio recently.

I don’t have a compressor so rely on a brush to clean them as I work and safer to swap to a new, clean pad than continually cycle through potentially dirty ones. Works for me anyway.

 

[imprezaworks]

Jeez hardcore

 

[Clio_fool]

If it works it works though.
