Detailing World Is Evil

[Justin]

I'm hardly into the detailing game these days, but quite fancy a couple of new things to play about with and try out.

Signed back into DW for the first time in ages and I'm really struggling not to spend loads! New towels, mitts, waxes etc!

FAR too easy!

 

[db]

No turning back now! Bye Bye bank balance

 

[Gally]

Lol I stay off it! People keep saying this is good and that is good!

Clean your car just makes me spend stuff!

 

[JD]

Haha, all you needed to do was send me a PM fella

 

[Christophe]

It is very easy to splash out. At the moment i've limited myself of £20 a month on new cleaning stuff lol

 

[JD]

£20 a month?? No way, but then again I do detail quite a few cars a month I guess, more like 100 quid/m.

 

[bomber]

ive limited myself to £20 annually, i believe this gives me the right monies/driving time/enjoyment ratio out of my car lol

edit: £20 doesnt include water

 

[ben_p]

Agreed, spent over £500 in the last month or so!

Bad times!

Do you get paid for the cars you detail?

 

[LiquidRich]

very dangerous site, that and detailedobsessions for me. I have already got my shopping cart filled for payday

 

[JD]

Do you get paid for the cars you detail?

I do mate.

 

[Darren]

lol. in anticipation of the new car coming i logged on to get a few things. when it came to the checkout bit, a few things were de-selected!! lol.

 

[JD]

What are you getting Darren mate?

 

[Darren]

What are you getting Darren mate?

[JD]

Nicely done mate!

LOL. Quickly adds up! I cant seem to find a wookie mitt in stock anywhere

 

[steven.m]

I havent spent anything in ages, not wanting to look at detailing sites the now as I know I'll just buy stuff I dont need.

Had to refrain from buying a machine polisher off I4D wee while ago because I knew it would get used once in a blue moon, but just wanted to have one for the sake of it.

 

[Dan-t]

NE detailing have just opened up a shop near me, and ive spent £300 in 2 weeks, i get sucked in by the zymol wax in the glass casses, im now the proud owner of some zymol carbon wax, which is the mutts nuts. the g/f has just bought me a meguiars oscilating machine polisher also.

I do get a little dixcount or free products when i shop there now tho

500 quid FFS!

 

[Brand86]

I have been very good, probably only spent about £100 this year. In fact I genuinely need to stock up on some products! Here I go...

 

[ChemGuyUK]

Oh I've heard it's good there

On?

I'm £60 down so far! Onyx and a Swissvax mitt. Was going to get a wookie but not paying £20 for one!

 

[Ali]

i've got everything i need now...Detailing is a costly habit!

 

[RussZS]

Backup Rotary, few bits from I4D that I wanted to try, and the Blackfire Wet Shine Fire thingy which was £85 or so, and a few other bits from Polished Bliss

 

[RussZS]

SV Mitt? You mean the Waschpudel? It's more like a sponge with bits hanging off it, than a mitt.

 

[Justin]

Aye, thats the one! Might get that towel thats in the group buy aswell

 

[Ali]

Yep. only one they do i fink! I'm onto my 3rd Waschpudel. Still rate it as the best!

 

[Gally]

I got that group buy towel Justin it's ace! Dried the whole car in minutes!

DEFO doing mine this time home. Probably saturday if you wanna help!

 

[Ali]

I like the PB dryin towel now...So soft!

 

[Justin]

Is it? The one from autobrite? I have the big yellow one from CYC but its not quite as good as it used to be..

 

[RussZS]

The Autobrite Drying towel? Same as a CG Miracle Dryer, but £5 cheaper and blue. Decent buy, defo.

You tried a Zymol sponge Ali?

 

[Justin]

Link? My current one has a few dirt marks over it now! lol

 

[RussZS]

The CYC yellow one, which is Eurow I think, seems to go hard after a lot of use, like all of the waffle weave towels.

The Dodo SN Towel is the softest, but you have to be soft to buy it IIRC - £23. Nice though, and it's huge.

[Justin]

Russ will have a look! Bit reluctant to buy a towel for £23 TBH

 

[RussZS]

I'd have to agree, plus PB sell three of theirs for £29, which is all you'd need.

 

[RussZS]

Anyway, new forum

http://detailingparadise.com/forum/index.php

Amazingly busy already, and Zymol is not only allowed, but Zymol Europe are on there as members, plus threads like this are allowed

Kicks off a bit, nice.

Ah thought Ali meant PoorBoys, not Polished Bliss!
