Chemical guys bare bones mate is the best of a poor bunch mate. It won't last long they get way too much abuse but after a detail they will look nice and Black.

cheers mate will go find it now and order some.

 

[Jon.G]

Nothing better than bare bones then?

 

[Gally]

Not really mate, aerospace 303 is very good aswell but none of them will stay for long anyway.

 

[aucky]

One day I might look at sourcing some of that felt carpety stuff the prestige cars tend to have. It never seems to look dirty (arches)

 

[welshname]

Carpets are bad need to remove them on the fester, they just hold water and shite, not great when the car's are prone to rust anyway.

FMPMSLOLROLF! You can have mine! You'd need to be f**king mental mate. It's actually for sound deadining.

 

[aucky]

Really? I've never owned a car with them but at a glance they always seem to look better than renault's 'black' plastic

 

[welshname]

Need to order a wheel arch brush for my friend as a trade for a MAF sensor that he gave me last night.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

I was thinking this

[Lou]

I need some new stuff to keep the LY looking shiny!

Any ideas on decent products? I already have DJ Banana Armour wax!

Vikan ones are best for arches. Use them with G101. Best jacking the car up a little.

 

[Yellow Dave]

the colour charging of the DJ waxes didn't really have a great impact on my LY. I really liked Vics Collectors yellow though

Vikan brushes are pretty good IMO

What's your budget Lou. Home much are you into detailing? Does it have to be durable or do you wax a lot? Ie once a month?

 

[Lou]

No budget really but not too expensive!

I was quite into detailing a while ago but lost interest after a while! Want to get back into it though!

Something durable would be ideal as the car mainly sits at the house gathering dust as I have a company vehicle for use.

 

[Yellow Dave]

durable and cheap AG HD wax. DJ supernatural hybrid looks a bit better but doesn't last quite as long but same sort of price. Again thses are waxes that I used myslef on my LY 182

What will you be using as a base to put the wax on top of? as that will effect it

 

[Gally]

Indeed on LY it so needs a glaze. Superb colour. Get AG HD and spend a little more on a glaze and anything else you might need.

[jimbo666]

I picked up some more 5L tubs of Hazsafe and G101 today.

 

[Gally]

Prima Amigo is a personal favourite of mine. Super slick finish and a great base for LSP. Best applied by machine but easily used by hand.

 

[Joe#]

Just gone a bit mad.

DAS-6 Pro
Lake country pads
Z8
Megs tyre dresser applicator
Valet Pro - PH netral snow foam
A new snow foam lance
Bilberry
EZ detail brush
Zymol Glasur..

And when they've got it in stock, Gtechniq C5 for the new wheels

 

[Joe#]

^^And Werkstat Prime

 

[Gally]

Superb purchases mate.

 

[Yellow Dave]

If your using a wax over, I can't emphasise how much improved the car looked with AF tripple, IMO better than EZ creme glaze and I've not find it affect durability in any way. I'm yet to use any other glazes.

 

[Gally]

Agreed dave. Tripple is fantastic under a wax. Not even got round to using it via machine yet!

 

[Joe#]

Superb purchases mate.

Thanks, I can't wait for them to come now

 

[Yellow Dave]

I had a play on the AF training day. Although better it wasn't the step up in performance you get with rejuvenate. It cleaned up a pink single stage paint bonnet with ease

 

[MatthewR]

Zymol Glasur
Prima Amigo
Gtech C5

All on Gallys recommendation

And im attending a training course at autobrite direct tomorrow so will be picking up the 5l very cherry group by they are running on DW and also some DA pads and other bits and bobs.

will post a photo when everything arrives!

Nice onnnne! I've used all of the above, great stuff!
I won't be the only geeky detailer in chester now. Although Ash will still tease me about using de-ionisied water

 

[Joe#]

Thanks

FLOL. I no, we'll have to keep it quiet

Superb mate. C5 is the only tricky one, take your time doing that one. Glasur nice and thin. Mark at AB should inform you better.

 

[aucky]

The first time I used C5 I had no instructions and no access to the internet.

With a ''how hard can it be'' attitude I applied to all 4 wheels, and then went to remove from all 4.

Face-palm was performed.

Take 2 was spot on though

 

[Joe#]

I think I remember you telling me about that:approve:

 

[Jon.G]

Bloody hell Joe! Nicely done.

 

[Joe#]

Just got of the phone from Tim at CYC. They had an mix up with the Glasur and haven't got any in stock atm. So that will be coming next week at some point

I had a bit urge Jon

 

[aucky]

Shite weather anyway.

 

[Joe#]

Yep exactly, plus I want to get the F1's refurbed so they can go on at the same time

I might do it the weekend before the big meet.
