Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

Surely if you want beading you buy Dodo Juice? Although V3 is very good it's still a nano sealant.

Exactly. I thought C2V3 had really decent beadage?

f**k me just reading through that DW thread where KDS are hiring.

Did Kelly only learn to write last year or something? His grammar is shocking.

I'd love to be able to try it...

Out of stock thanks to someone......

Alright alright, twasn't my fault Tesco's offer came to an end!

I know but lets say a brand new pot came into my possession FOC ....

Flol, did you ever get a response on that "free" bottle?

It's probably a little better than rimmers wax special formula. You'll get better protection just using neat C2 on bare paint

Tempted to use AF Tripple and then C2V3 on the wheels as well, seems to have done wonders on the paint work. Not bad for a shitty street detail with some Halfrauds products!

2 recent favourites. 2nd one was on a nice Frs...

Utterly disgraceful. They should be brought up. Might have a look for the threads and comment.

It's why I barely frequent DW.

Yarp.

Used my C2V3 yesterday.

Wiped down the car with IPA a few times first to remove the sonax.

So far I like it but beading is what i am really interested in.

Likewise, mightily impressed by the Tripple I used underneath!

Is that a bad thing?

Sickening to read IMO. Nearly spat my coffee out when I read what Kelly had written. utterly comical. I treat my staff how they treat me etc.

How much would a detailer there get? £30k?

I might submit a CV that's brilliant then go down for an interview and record the whole thing......

 

[Scrooge]

I very much doubt he'd pay one more than £120 a day.

 

[JD]

Shut up, Clio driver.

 

[Gally]

You weren't exactly subtle ffs! Lead balloon!

 

[Cliotoby]

Honestly mate I dont give a s**t about that website.

This is DW summed up nicely.

 

[Scrooge]

I take it the spraying interior comment was about that Ferrari?

I dont even know the facts. I heard from Gally that he managed to spray an enzo interior accidentally.

 

[JD]

Lol. He sprayed what were supposed to be bare carbon fibre areas the exterior red. When quizzed, Kelly got quite defensive and said something about it being a customer request... BS.

 

[Gorms]

Just a quick one guys, i asked ages ago but never followed it up. Where is the best place to pick up buckets with lids. Dont really fancy paying £20+ just because they come with some stickers.

 

[Gally]

Chem guys ones are only £12 iirc. Had mine for years now.

 

[JD]

I meant to ask this, Gorms. There is a thread somewhere with really cheap buckets from Wickes or something...?

 

[Cliotoby]

Homebase did some very large, well priced ones. Sturdy as f**k too.

Dont remember the price.

 

[Gorms]

Cheers Gally! No lids unfortunately. Went with some of fleebay in the end that came with lids and grit guards.

Yeah that's right. Which did you go for fella?

Went with these in the end: Buckets

[Gally]

My Chem guys ones came from Chem guys UK with lids for about £12 delivered.

Anyone want to give me a link or a name of a decent drying towel. I've been using normal ones and its just bringing up swirl marks. Thanks

 

[Scrooge]

Pat it dry rather than drag the towel over the paint work, spray the car with quick detailer too before you start drying.

 

[Cliotoby]

Those yellow ones from Polished Bliss or I4 Detailing are pretty much the best.

Ive said it a hundred times but you need to maintain the towels better than you do the car. I keep mine in a plastic box and wash in the washer after every use WITHOUT detergent.

Waffle towels will butcher your paint if you wipe dry also.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

When I say towels I litterally use the same towels as I do for myself, (ive got an old welsh flag towel that I only use on the car)

 

[Scrooge]

Oh god.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Yeah hense my first question, I need a towel just for the car...
all the detailers just died a little.

[Mr R.]

Oh yes....it starts with £10 towels before you know it your buying pots of wax @ 75 quid.

​Cheers Ant, thanks a bunch...lol

 

[Scrooge]

Lol! It is worth it tbf!

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Haha, would be a slippery slope if I had money to blow first.
I have been looking at DA Polishers though...

 

[Scrooge]

Well worth the price mate

SUCH A LITTLE TARD. It's without softener or machine drying that f**ks them, not the detergent. x

 

[Cliotoby]

Get your washing drying techniques sorted first

 

[Scrooge]
