What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Joe#]

I remember the first time I went to pour it. It didn't go well lol.

 

[JamesBryan]

No need, if you look at the top of the tin, turn the opening, so when you pour it, it's at the top (that make sense?), it makes it a hell of a lot easier to pour.

We have the same tins at work, I never spill a drop doing it that way.

Hmmm.... i'll have to have a look when i get home now. Never realised it could be turned.

 

[welshname]

Mine is all next to me at my desk at work, ready to take home tonight

SRS?!

I mean turn the whole tin. So pick it up, so that when it is horizontal as you pour the fluid, the opening is away from the bottle?! You follow what I mean?

The opening will be closer to your face than the floor?!

See picture:



Make sense???

See I had the same impression as James, I assumed that there was like a slit in the top (like on UHT milk cartons if you get me) and you span that bit inside upside down.

 

[aucky]

No one noticed 1000th post

 

[Cliotoby]

:approve: I've got the 5L Tardis as well. Should last you for ages.

It's a strong solvent smell, so don't be tempted to sniff it haha

it soon goes if youre using it a lot!

There might be. But if it's just a hole like it looks like it would be in that photo, then if you pour it the way I suggest, and you're not a complete ape, you won't spill a drop. As I say, we have thinners and lacquers in the same size and shape tins, and that's how I pour it

 

[JamesBryan]

That makes sense now Ed!

I thought there was a valve or something when you first mentioned it

[Gally]

Really really interested in the wash pad Russ, really fancy ordering one up for the better weather.

Z18 is fantastic btw. I like it even more than BH but the price difference comes into it.

 

[Yellow Dave]

your orders are getting bigger and bigger Russ, hope the CR samples sell in time of the new orders lol.

Out of curiousity, whats the MF pads like by rotary

Hope you liked teh packaging.

 

[Gally]

It was like trying to get into a safe ffs!

 

[Cliotoby]

Lol! Make sure it goes to good use.

 

[Gally]

It will i'm sure, if I had a black car a pot of BOS would be on order. Shame the oils wash out quite quickly.

I see it as a show wax now especially for black.

 

[Elfy]

Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger hopefully give a nice shine

 

[Gally]

Great buy.

 

[Elfy]

Great buy.

Thanks and just got the meguires lambswool wash mitt

 

[Gally]

What colour is your 182?

 

[Elfy]

Titanium? The silver colour lol!

 

[Gally]

The best Silver colour i've ever seen in the flesh. Immense.

Feel free to detail it Gally i'll get some pics once its been washed and used the new werkstat jett on it

 

[Gally]

Would love to see it. The only colour i'd have a FF in. Just superb. Can't see many swirls, marks or scratches! No ballache!

Everyone that's wants there car detailed stays a 1000 miles away!

 

[Elfy]

Very true! Silver is a great colour for not showing swirls and scratches etc! I love it! Just wanted the wet look after the cleaning stage which I should hopefully get now

 

[Gally]

It should come up superb!

 

[MatthewR]

So just how good is werkstat acrylic jet then gally?

Mines a silver 1.2, again looking for the wet look and while i love autobrite products i feel their obsession wax just isn't cutting it for the look i want.

current prep before using obsession is:

snow foam
wash
full decontamination (tar remove, fallout remove, clay. rinse inbetween)
snowfoam
polish
glaze
then obsession (topped up with project 32 weekly)

While this gives an amazing look i want something better.

Wasn't really an order, I popped in to see the guys at clean your car in huddersfield and picked up:

AF Lather
AF Rejuvenate
AF Tough coat
Foam & MF applicators

Used them yesterday, the combination of:

PH neutral snow foam,
Lather
Rejuvenate
Black hole
3 layers of tough coat.

Immense! I wish I had taken the camera down but it was too cold!

 

[Gally]

Wet look on a Silver car is hard to achieve as everyone knows.

Something like Prima Amigo Glaze will help. AB's wax is very good though but maybe you're ready to move on?

The Werkstat system is immense. If I had a Silver car especially at this time of year i'd be using that.

Waxes like Glasur/Bos are fantastic. Depends how much you want to spend really.

I'm trying out a couple of miglior waxes soon as they are super super oily so help with the wet look. Will of course update this forum nearer the summer.

At least you have a sorted routine.

Nice combo mate. Lots of fillers and a superb LSP.

Nice combo mate. Lots of fillers and a superb LSP.

I've spent hours on end reading the threads, was down to a choice between prime + jett or rejuv + tough coat... CYC don't stock the workstatt stuff so it made my choice easy!

The fillers were needed, don't think my car has ever seen a machine polish tbh... really swirly! Come next detail time, I will be either looking at recruiting an avid detailer for the day or buying and learning how to use a machine. Still undecided on which I'll do yet!

I was meaning to ask, in terms of snow foam... is magifoam LSP safe from anyone's experience? I've heard mixed thoughts on this.
