Holy crap, Kev. Please tell me that was a Detailing World **** up?!
My login isn't working on DW again, anyone else having trouble?
It says I'm logging in, but doesn't actually do it.

Have you said something nasty about Heavenly Details or Kelly?
Haha, not at all, does it sound like I'm banned then?
On another note JD, remember that Glitter wax I had on my boot lid since Waxstock?
8 months on and the glitter is still there, it's been washed, decon'd, clayed, (lightly) polished and IPA'd but the glitter is still fighting strong! Wax has gone completely, so it obviously wasn't the wax holding it on, god knows what's keeping it there.
At first I was impressed at it lasting so long, but now I'm worrying! Metallic Racing Blue 4evaaaa
I've only posted 3 or 4 times this month in a very inoffensive manner and it doesn't say I'm banned under my name on the members list!
Odd, must be my work computer because I can login fine on my phone!
Tried Finale yet Gally?

Ha.. Proper stupid moment.
That would be spot on mate.. Legend.. Ill PM you.
Anyone know of a decent compound for removing bad swirling and RDS?
Thanks
Yeah, not at great length but just didn't get on with it. Better out there imo.

if you have the full kit, the heavy cutting pad and polish combo is quite a decent cut level from my little play with it. moving up from that you're getting serious clear coat removal.
I personally wouldn't bother chasing out the really heavy marks, as the clear coat removal will be quite high. This then will put a limit on how much further clear coat can be removed in the future when getting rid of basic swirls.

I found finale to be OK, wasn't anything special but certainly nothing wrong with it. Didn't really add anything of its own to the finish or protection which I liked
Really getting on well with the prima slick at the moment though, much prefer it over Z6

Not a very exciting comment but just taken delivery of cherry glaze polish by autobrite, if nothing else it smells lovely, like I say pointless post really lol
No problem!
Ah that's a shame, I was really impressed with the slickness it gave, definitely felt it added something to the look as well!
Ah okay thanks for the heads up.. It did do wonders for the finish, I will just have to live with the rest then, or can I attack it again with the same kit or maybe use a rotary instead?
+1, it's so good at everything. Do they do a concentrate yet? I'd love one I could dilute for APC use.
Nice one JD! I'm considering getting one fitted, anyone have ideas of the cost?
As for Citrus concentrate, James said they don't intend to do one because there wouldn't be a strong enough container to hold it.
Would have thought Iron X or Tardis containers would be strong enough though.

I know what you mean. I detailed dad's car over the weekend, so the R8 has taken over as the pampered car in the NW. So I need to buy all new stuff; Citrus, CarPro wash mitt, some new buckets and hyper wash, EZ brush etc etc.
SHOPPING TIME WHOOP!
Same here, I convince myself I need things when I've already got 5 alternatives.
I'm a horder as well, I can't part with stuff because I might need it if I run out of something else...

To the latter part of that post, I understand well! Although I feel better as I've just cleared out my shed from moving in two months ago. Chucked out so much wood, old tiles, random other stuff the previous owner had stored in there, as well as a load of stuff I'd brought with me from my rental place that I clearly didn't need.
So there is loads of room and shelves just waiting
Already have four bottles of Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels spray from Tesco!To the latter part of that post, I understand well!

Empty shelves don't help horder genetics! If someone emptied half of my shelves and paid me for whatever they took I'd never realise what was missing!
You using that stuff as an IX replacement? I assume it's not wax friendly?
At the moment, my wheels are a mess as I've not topped up the protection (FK1000p) for months and the DS2500s are starting to produce very hard stuck on dust. So I just IronX them when I get a chance as I had no way to clean them. At some point I'll refurb them, but at the moment, this stuff appears to work very well. Drive to forecourt, spray on Wonder Wheels and Citrus Power on car, buy a basic jet wash programme, wait a few minutes and spray the entire car down at high pressure. Then drive off. When I go up North it gets a proper wash, but with the Carbon still going strong and with GTechniq on plastics and glass, it stays damn clean.
I'll post back some results when I next use the Wonder Wheels stuff, Ant. Dying to get out to The Unit soon as well. Was saying to Rob that now the missus has moved in, I get my weekends back as they're not taken up going to see her!

possible stupid question so not gonna start a new thread for it...
Z8 on top of Z6 is fine right? (car already has a few layers of Z2 on it). I love the look Z6 gives after just a quick wash, on the civic (black) it makes it look so slick its like it's been dunked in oil. Just wondering if by putting some Z8 ontop it'll hold the "look" a bit longer?
I assume if it's ok, the Z8 can on straight after I've finished doing the Z6? No benifit in leaving it a few mins in between?

I need a short-term fix for my glass.
Long term I'll be having a crack at using G1 but in the meantime are there any general products I can use or should I just give it a good wipe with a MF cloth during the drying stage and leave it at that?

ah righty! I'll hold off buying till Ive used all my Z6 then in that case. Cheers.
