FFS, OK since I am in a goodish mood.

P21s is easy as pi55 to apply and remove. So is natty's blue. But neither will outlast something like 476.

However, 476 dulls paintwork because it is so hard wearing.

Swissvax brushes are better.

Swissvax brushes are better.

tbh my first interest in brushs involved this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_253055_langId_-1_categoryId_165486 an they are useless cleaning alloys

tbh anything is better

im a novice as much as i want to go all out ocd its hard work an i dont enjoy car cleaning as much as i use to

in what way? the Envy ones are used by lots of the Pro's and don't scratch / swirl etc

a good brush i use for wheels is the EZ brush from CYC. quite expensive but worth it imo - gets right to the backs of the wheels

i think these sort of brushes are much of a muchness really - can't see any advantage to using the expensive swissvax ones though

The Swissvax brushes are definitely nicer than the Envy ones, but I keep them for my own car

Envy ones are great for the cash

[JD]

Power spray on a chair or stool, directing away from interior, put a towel up.

Works!

i clean the fuel filler area, door shuts etc with apc @ 10:1 while a layer of snow foam is dwelling - spray on, agitate with brush and rinse off

That's the one but the refill is free but courier fee is £200 or so

 

[richy22]

The Refill of wax excludes shipping, insurance and tax charges to and from the USA which are approx £250 to £400 per round trip*.


That's what I read not £600 I added the 2 2gether

 

[daydotz]

well heres what i ordered along with the brushs from envy



wash dry srp egp wax done

How exactly would a brush swirl? I'm interested!

And the answer to your question is. I've tried the envy ones and the SW ones are better. Bit like i tried Collinites and i preferred SW!

Is it that hard to comprehend?
