Megs Endurance is pretty much unbeatable IMHO
Golf GT & A4 Avant
I've tried a few just not the megs.
I thought the EZ detail brush was expensive so overlooked it for years. but it's worth it!

Cheers Dave, I may get the AG tyre dressing, its not too bad in my view, spray on a cloth and wipe on the tyre. Also good for making the arches liners black! I may just get that again tbh.
Wheel cleaner I have always used Megs Hot Rims cleaner, Just wondered if it was worth trying somethign new.
Cheers for the link to the brushes
The megs tyre dressing and applicator pad is ok, but once you drive off and get out, you see it sprayed up the side of the car....hate it!

I didn't mind the AG dressing TBH, isn't hot rims supposed to be quite an aggressive cleaner? in all honest I haven't used many of the megs products.
will use T1 this weekend and post up my thoughts

I was unsure, its over half the price of the EZ one as well. You got that one mate?
I've been passing on it for ages £20 on a freaking wheel brush seems mental. I've been using smaller 1inch brushes for the spokes etc, just want something to do the inner wheel.
I know mate, Just cant see them on the site at all. Might of been mistaken.
Aye think they are the most expensive for the actual brush though, I'll have a look round.
Just received this :
Amongst many other things I've been collecting over the past couple of months.

Endurance tyre gel is good because of the price. Its certinly not unbeatable, u use it simply because it is cheap and doesnt fling unless you absolutely hoon the car. I like the fact it doesnt last too long also they all look s**t once its rained and by the time i come to wash my car its not difficult to remove.
Seeing as polished Bliss have 3 for 2 on Auto Finesse stuff, thinking of getting a bottle of Rejuvinate and citrus power.
What else would be useful to get as my third item?!

crystal, rejuvenate, tripple, lather, tough coat. all good products. Citrus power is good, just be careful not to over apply as you really don't need to much for it to work well, but the spray head chucks out loads
what kind of product do you need, would like?

Don't really need any as such. That's my problem lol. But might as well get something as its 3 for 2 and I'm buying 2.
Golf GT & A4 Avant
depending on what wax or sealant you're using, I'd really like to see trippple on RB, I reckon that would look great
Russ is the man to speak to regarding new AF products, I believe he has tested most if not all. But going off their previous products I can't see it being a disappointment. Only product I didn't like was Gloss
Golf GT & A4 Avant
they did change gloss, newer version came in a clear bottle instead of black, but still don't think they got any real durability, it did leave a nice finish though as it wasn't too glossy regardless of the name.
tried Gwash and T1 today, GW was very nice, hard to call between this and lather, blew BTBM out of the water for sure! T1 was a little funny with application, tried with an old MF as it said it could be used and it wasn't the best, again finish is nice, so will give it a going over with a foam pad tomorrow and see how long it lasts.

Ah cool.
I'll be using rejuvinate after decon, then a Mezerna polish (Pf 106 or something), Britemax Blackmax as my glaze, followed by just some AG HD wax.
I think that's right anyway!
Where would tripple fit in there?
I could get the "Finale" to use when I'm shampooing to keep my wax up to scratch..

no real need to use rejuvenate before using a polishing compound unless there is still a lot of dirt left on the paint after decontaminating and claying (which you have missed off your list?)
Definitely a carnauba spray mate. Sonus carnauba spritz is highly recommended. Cheaper and easier to work with compared with Zymol Field Glaze.
I disagree slightly Dave. It's more hassle and an extea step but to save dirting up a good polishing pad, a cleanser before polishing will get all the dirt out the paint before polishing.
It's may be over kill but polishing pads are more expensive that a cheap mf applicator.
Just something that was discussed recently. Food for thought. If time is tight might be just aswell going straight to polishing.
Golf GT & A4 Avant
I do agree, and can see its benefits, but I can't imagine a car owned by most of us hobbyist detailers needed that kind of attention that's all. but then rejuvenate would not be my choice for a seriously deep cleanse, prime jumps to mind instantly.
It was my interpretation of James' routine was a little un clear on de-contaminating and claying so was unsure if he may be missing this but still cleansing,

My process will be as follows (hopefully I've got it right):
Magifoam Snow foam
Rinse then Tardis
BTBM Shampoo
Megs Clay
BTBM Shampoo
Dry
Polish: Mezerna (Pf 106 I think, can't remember exactly)
Glaze: Britemax Blackmax
Wax: AG HD wax
So not worth getting rejuvinate for me?
I need a new QD thinking about it, would their AF Finale be a good buy? Would I be able to use this as clay lube or not (as its contains caranauba)?

Haven't got Iron X. Don't really know if its worth it, doubt there can be much that much iron on my paintwork?
Was planning on just spraying tardis on then rinsing it off..

Looks like IronX is another product I need to buy then.
Every time you think you've got everything, something else pops up you need to buy!
What clay Lube should I buy? Just the Megs Quik Detailer?
Also can't remember whether it was decided Rejuvinate would be worthwhile for me or not!?

if you aren't polishing then rejuvenate is a must really as it provides a great base for wax or sealants, plus there won't be a need to polish everytime you re apply.
ironX is so quick and simple to use there is little point in not using it, but even a well protected car will still have embedded iron on it.

I use shampoo and water mix or demon shine diluted. I don't agree with clay lube prices tbh. Plenty of other cheaper products. Russ uses citrus bling as a clay lub.
It'sa never ending list mate. Forget the rejuvenate for now.
Ah that's good, I've got plenty of demon shine already!
One thing I don't have to buy then!
When applying tardis, do you spray it on, then wipe off with a microfibre, or spray it onto a microfibre then wipe on the car?
I think I'll leave rejuvinate for now then.

Dare I ask the following question in here?
Yepp, needing some new stuff soon for the up an coming shows. (What I had ordered in the past)
At the moment this is some thing on the current list of ownership.
Wax's - AGHD, R222's, Poorboys Natty, Megs Gold, Zymol.
Sealants - Poorboys EX and EX-p, Auto Glym EGP and UDS.
Pre Wax cleaners - R222's again, AG, Megs.
Shampoo's - Megs and AG.
Glazes - Poorboys, Megs and CG's
Have loads of MF cloths.
I have one of the 7424 polishers with numerous pads.
Polish and compounds Menzerna, Sonus, Poorboys, Megs.
I need a washmitt for the bodywork, some thing to protect the newly painted alloys, trim needs restoring from old polish/wax marks.
The ones in bold are what I mainly use.
Trying to get hold of C5 an C1 but its like rocking horse s**t. Whats IPA?
