I love stuff like that. Really grim, yet satisfying.

Bog brush in a a drill. Makes those s**t cheap carpets come up lovely.

I’m about to use one on this and will post results up later.

I got this kit from Amazon for a few quid, lots of brushed and with drill adapters.

Same one as I have. Bought it about 3 years ago for about a tenner and still going strong.

(Just do t get lazy when you can’t find your drill and use an impact gun. Bristles and plastic eeeeeerywhere.

Looks lovely though

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah that's come up well.

 

[Bluebeard]

A bit closer, to show just how f**king horrible it was and how s**t poverty carpets are for trapping dirt. (honestly, I must have called the previous owner every derogatory term known during that. I f**king hate her.)

That looks amazing!

@Sir Nancy Flowers I always love those dirty car projects, ideal you bought the car, no stress getting it ready in a weekend, weather just needs to be a bit better!

I know they get slated, but EZ Car Care have an offer on of some of their 5l tubs for £14.99 each. I mean, £15 for 5 litres of anything is decent

I've used quite a bit of their stuff.

It's cheap but it doesn't go very far. I still rate it though as decent working, especially their spray on jet wash off sealant Fusion.

Delivery times used to be shocking, but you knew that and don't order from them if you need something tomorrow. They have however gotten alot better at deliveries and last I ordered from them was delivered in 3 days.

All in all there's better products out there, but for a weekend warrior just wanting to keep on top of their car and not pay the polish then it's decent enough.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Yep, ive used some of the EZ stuff.

For me personally, it kind of sits here:

s**t Halfords Stuff (See: Demon Shine)
EZ
Everything else you cant find in Halfords

Its 'OK' at best. For those who have just been using the bucket and sponge, it will blow them away......Im thousands of pounds too deep to find it good anymore 🤣

The gloss boss (mmm!!) Is decebt tbf

I sort of agree and disagree with you there, I've spent an extortionate amount of things in the past trialing all sorts of brands, products etc.

Some (not all) of the products from EZ beat other brands hands down.

Some are absolute shite, their shampoo for example, no suds, not slick and wouldn't try again.

But fusion, 5L for £15, spray on, jet wash off and towel dry and you've got protection for 4-6 weeks at least.

Maybe im being unfair - I hadnt tried everything in their range tbf.

it was also yeaaars ago I last used up their stuff. I just felt, at the time, it was alright for what it was.

bare in mind, too, that most of my usage is CarChem now. Similar prices to EZ (on BF when I stock up anyway) and it blows most of their stuff out the water.

Its always going to be endless debates on detailing stuff. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong. We all like what we like

I was thinking Sub Zero snow foam, Fusion Spray sealant and Viper alloy cleaner. £45 plus £9 postage and that should last me a year at least

It's not that long ago people were saying steer clear of clay mitts they can cause marring. I can't see this being any different.
I've used Farecla clay mitts for a few years now and never had any problems if you keep it well lubed 🤭
Hopefully we'll have some good weather soon, then you can report back your thoughts.

They are only in Stockport too if you head that way at any point, they have a small shop which do the same deals as online.

I’ve used the gloves before and found them okay tbh, just need to be gentle I do wonder if people apply loads of pressure and that’s what causes the marring.

I didn’t need to on this, it in the absolutely fucked stuff, a tin of satin black paint or a black carpet dye works wonders.
Less is more, but it’s a godsend on the bangers.

Black dye ftw

Cheating b******s 😂

What dye is this?
