It's £60 for a new full pot.
For £25 (just under half the price) I'd expect it to have about 40% left.
Just sayin
you have to factor in postage and packaging to which most bouncers stockists will charge you so the £60 is more like £65. To which I think gally pot is priced reasonably well.

Anyone tried 'Candy Gloss' show gloss? Cant use it on my car, but may try on my girlfriends. Any tips on application etc? I only have a sample of it.

My girlfriend drives a red ZS, and reds amazingly easy to look good. Will keep that in mind and not leave it too long before buffing I think!

Seen the thread on DW about it.. I was tempted by some, but just bought some AG Rapid and Megs QD in the Halfords 3 for 2 to try out. Heard good stuff about the Megs stuff.. And the AG was only £7.

Total detailing noob here. I want to get my car detailed and protected, but there's a few options to pick, enhancement detail and protection detail, what do I go for? I also would like the underside and arches protected with some underseal, do detailing companies offer this, or would that be something I'd have to go to a bodyshop for?
Yeah a bodyshop will do it but i'd be looking for Bilthamber to be applied. Google them.
On the detailing front you want enhancement at least. Protection is basicly a thorough wash/decontamination and wax/sealant. Enhancement is a one step polish in most cases. Nipping out swirls and filling a little if that's what they offer.
I don't like them for applying LSPs. The proper yellow ones aren't expensive anyway and unless you're a professional you should need hundreds, they need washed after every use anyway really.

Cheers!
If you're talking about hand applicators i didn't think the ones i got off ebay were as good as the i4d ones and they weren't much cheaper.

Which would you go for? What's the best way to wash them?
I've used some Fairy liquid in the past as it removes all the wax, do it for all my applicators in the sink all at the one time, rinse them out thoroughly and air dry them in a warm area of the house. We use our big family bathroom as we never use it.
Indeed I do the exact same just work all the product out with my hands really, only takes 2 seconds, make sure they are sort of rung dry before proper drying or they'll never dry properly. Never hand an issue.
Cloths take a bit more care of course in the actual washing machine.

How the hell do I know Im not a scientist.
Trust me when I say Im right, I am right. Ive used enough cloths and experimented enough to know what works and what doesnt. My car doesnt get marring from the cloths I use and there were times when I did. Wash them with liquid detergent if you like, Ill keep washing mine without and ensure the longevity of my towels.

I squirt a load of fairy into a few cloths fold them over then put them in. Once it's washed them I hang them on a rack in the conservatory.
Not sure if thats good or bad but I don't need to do it often and they seem to be lasting perfectly fine.
OT of the thread anyone got any ideas what I could use to clean my 182 wheels with? I was using a cheap wash mitt but its falling to bits so is it time to get a brush?
Ouch £40 lol definitely too much for me.
Anything will do as long as it doesn't damage the paint and make it hard work, I'll look at the megs yellow brush too. Now there nice and clean from the wheel cleaner it should be quite easy to remove any dirt if I keep on top of it.
Yeah just saw the EZ one on CYC looks good actually just a bit too expensive for my liking.
