I've just been browsing on cleanyourcar.co.uk and have thrown this little lot in the basket. The only thing missing is the snow foam but cleanyourcar don't sell the Bilt Hamber stuff.

What do you all reckon?

richy22 · May 18, 2009

Not a fan of the sonus products, or the car lack.

I would suggest just Super Resin Polish as the polish. Then a sealent like ChemGuys Blitz or good old Extra Gloss Protection.

Also another clay product . . .

guysy · May 18, 2009

As above i would change carlack for SRP.

Ditch the sonus clay lube and use car shampoo and water 2:1 Personally. Its cheaper.

Get some £1 round sponges if you havent got any, They come in handy.

whatisjustis · May 18, 2009

What is it about the Sonus range (including the clay) that you're not a fan of? Similarly, why not the car-lack?

Would you say a sealent was a better option than a wax?

Ali · May 18, 2009

That lot will keep you busy.

I use that shampoo. Worth buyin in Gallons tho tbh!

Taster products have never swayed me (got quite a few from Autopia due to the amount I spent there a few summers back). IMO better products out there for the money.

Sealents and waxes are two separate things fella, wash, clay, polish, seal, wax on top. The sealent is the protection, wax is just for added protection/looks. So something like CG Blitz then the 476 on top.

whatisjustis · May 18, 2009

I was going to purchase the Megs Gold Class shampoo but the CG stuff seems to have great reviews!

I seeee!!

I was under the inpression that a sealent was a 'modern' wax for those in a bit more of a rush (hence the spray bottles as opposed to tins).

This is all a bit new to me but I'm learning.

Fan of the Megs myself, but both are grand from reviews (ali)

Nay worries, it's what the forum is for chap.

richy22 · May 18, 2009

That drying toel you got in there I would ditch and use this one from i4detailing..

http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/I4D_Uber_Premium_Drying_Towel_1.html

Much better imo and good value for money

richy22 · May 18, 2009

Or even this one actually..

RichCup · May 18, 2009

Never used that carlack polish, but the nano care is a great product IMO! Works great with the 476s too.

JD · May 18, 2009

Missed that one. Don't use the der wonders. I found that they scratch quite a lot :S

Defo go for something as plus and thick as possible!

Yep same here... that ultra plush towel, although not as big as others, is f**king soft. And doesn't scratch one bit.. I used a sonus one and it felt like I was scratching the f**k out of the car

I Sit in at night watching tele whilst sucking my thumb and rubbing it on my face

My GF tries to take it away from me and I run upstairs into the corner of the bedroom shouting "My blanky!"

** I dont really honest!

Poorboys towels are the best i've used. No complaints with scratching. The drying towel is wicked.

JD · May 18, 2009

Yeah their products do seem to be a good buy, for the money.

Sym0n · May 18, 2009

I used to be a huge AG fanboy and really rated SRP highly, that was until I got some Clearkote's Vanilla Moose. The difference between the products is astounding, it works so much easier than SRP and gives, for me at least, better results.

SRP is a good polish but IMHO there are far better out there.

Those ultra plush cloths are cool as f**k

Let me know how you get on with with the vanilla moose stuff as Im after a replacement for SRP

richy22 · May 18, 2009

Oh bit of a tip for you too! (Save yourself a quid!)

Get rid of the foaming sprayer head from your basket and the APC bottle...

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/meguiars-apc-bottle/prod_378.html

Then on here select the foaming head on the drop down menu on the top right kind of... ITs a bit weird as it cost you 2.95 there??!! I noticed that when I ordered one

whatisjustis · May 18, 2009

Doh, too late!

Thanks though Rich. Should all be with me in time for a Bank Holiday Monday clean after this weekend's stag do to Blackpool.

Four and a half hour drive each way :nono: .

richy22 · May 18, 2009

Ah s**t never mind! Its only a quid but it just seems weird dont you think?! Its exactly the same product?!

whatisjustis · May 18, 2009

Is a tad strange. I spent another quid on faster postage, too

.

chrispy.clio · May 18, 2009

Ooooo i beat you there. I'm just about to buy £400 worth or stuff from I4Detailing.
Although £200 is the Machein Polisher

Good choice of stuff tho

whatisjustis · May 18, 2009

£400 - epic bit of spending there mate.

Funnily enough I was just oggling over your motor in that 'Show me your 182s' thread. What have you bought to clean it then?!

I can honestly tell you there are much better products out there.

whatisjustis · May 19, 2009

I've still got some SRP but always keen to try new things so went for some of the Clearkote stuff as a comparison.

Having never clayed my car before I've nothing to compare against the Sonus bits I've bought but i'm sure, as a detailing noob, I'll get on okay

Christophe · May 19, 2009

any opinions on this as a sealant?

Very good, but again, better products out there.

IMO I would go EGP<Jeffs<CG Blitz, from personal experience.

Would tend to agree. But each to their own experiences and budgets of course
