Tbh I'm out of touch. But the above still seems able my car to out do anything else I see at shows.

 

[Scrooge]

Still have some HUbikote and 303 aersopsace

All these new products and I'll still be buying the same stuff I have for years lol

Yep!

I'll need more hubikote soon. Have a shed load (literally) of testers to stock up T'Unit. When are you free?

 

[Scrooge]

Oooooo

Free time is rare at the moment but I've promised myself every Saturday starting from next weekend throughout the summer I'll be down there and maybe an evening a week.

 

[JD]

Understandable with the big day approaching. Still not shown you the Zed. Perhaps a couple of Saturday's from now? Bbq!

 

[Scrooge]

Would be great dude, it's been too long, yep I need another big engined to car to make me insanely jealous lol

 

[Gally]

Oh an exciting thread for a bloody change in here.

1. Bit Hamble Auto wash or whatever it's called. Contact Rob at dooka for more info. 8:1 and true dirt removing talent.

2. Reset. Brillian, suds and leaves even a normal car looking cleansed.

3. Why spend decent money on SF? Buy the cheapest or hyper wash. Pre wash is doing everything for you.

4. Bilberry sucks imo. Autosmart smart wheels and a foaming head.

5. BH soft for me.

6. D&D depending if you're looking for protection. CG speedwipe by the gallon? It's so good, JD has used it for centuries.

Interior dressing? I like 303 it's very versatile but i'd use Perl since you have it anyway. I can't believe it took me so long to realise how good it was.

7. I would say Werkstat Prime but that'll depend hoe much effort you want in shipping. I'd go LP as it gives better option via machine whilst still being an amazing cleanser.

8. Hmmmmm. .... £75 for an AF wax? I'm not sure. Vics has always been nice but not good enough for me. Britemax Vantage at £30 is my shout. Cost vs performance. Or a half pot of BOS like JD bought.

9. Well I still haven't tried the Gyeon stuff although I'm assured it's glossier than T1 was. Otherwise Megs with a spray of Perl on the applicator.

10. 2x California cherry scents. For other folks car? Definitely a CG one.

 

[Scrooge]

All noted Gally well apart from CF scents stuff. I loathe that stuff.

 

[Gally]

Those little tins last me 6 months at least!

 

[Coby.]

I was shocked to not see Hubikote on the list but Jamie has added it for you

Sorry no input other than that

Sorry no input other than that 😧

I've still got some of that left luckily

Those little tins last me 6 months at least!

But they smell god awful lol

 

[Yellow Dave]

Doesn't reset shampoo degrade general wax and sealants? I'm still liking lather as a general shampoo although considering gwash or mr pink for my next gallon order of shampoo. Didn't like bathe. Found it not have any real slickness to it. Bathe + was better but has the added water properties. I have a 500 ml bottle to sell soon.

Pre wash and snow foam have a look at the powermaxed jet wash. Works well on lance and pump sprayer. Doesn't work any better than any other product but can be bought quite cheap. Other than that VP ANSF or AF avalanche or citrus power are my preferred products

I'm liking gyeon tire if you can keep it dry a few hours after application then it lasts well. If not it's no better than any other. Or megs endurance.

After reading JD's thread I think illusion is going to be hard to beat. Or go for vantage, carbon or passion for an all rounder

 

[Scrooge]

So, Fat Dave said he wanted to help out with buying some of this stuff as we are trying to limit just us using it or for when we do proper details. I sent him over the list and said only what is in the list. This all arrives at my door today. Mostly fail lol

 

[Yellow Dave]

Mr pink and synthetic quick detailer aren't too bad

 

[Scrooge]

The drying towels feel really bad lol

 

[Gally]

Of all the QDs though! Speedwipe pissed over it also.

 

[aucky]

Dilute that Citrus or you'll be through it in no time!

 

[Chris91]

4. Bilberry sucks imo. Autosmart smart wheels and a foaming head.

I just ditched AS smart wheels for bilberry as it felt too acidic for painted wheels. Might just be me though :/

 

[Gally]

Just needs diluted properly, plenty of proper detailers using it. I would never use it on sealed wheels but never had any issues with it even on freshly refurbed wheels.

 

[Chris91]

I was using it at 3:1 as recommended on the container. Perhaps ill try it 5:1 with a foaming head, I regularly wash them anyway so there rarely filthy.
