I personally prefer i4d, there service is fantastic and considerably better than cyc in my experiences with them, but cyc stock more of the bits I'm after so catch 22.
One thing I hate about buying car cleaning is postage costs.
That's why I like Polished Bliss. But they don't do Iron X

I love PolishedBliss, buy 90% of my detailing kit from them, superb company and not pricey IMO, I won their monthly competition last May

Using Werkstat on my RS250, gave it a full detail last week over two days, used Tardis with a lot of success to remove contaminants and take finish down to scratch before applying fresh coats.
Getting a bit of a thing for detailing

You just reminded me.
A guy at work is giving me his new Lyrical Grey (iirc) Punto Evo for a week in April.
I need a few things and that is one of them!

no more orders for me, I have 3 weeks before the hose pipe ban hits. And my ever so lovely sour faced wasp chewing neighbour would take great joy in dropping anyone in it. time to get both cars stripped and sealed before it's too late

This is why I have 2 IBC's (intermediate bulk containers) on the garden that hold 1200ltrs each, collect the rain water and pump it up to the top garden through a filter, then further filter it through in to the IBC.
Its now got a cap on the bottom with a hozelock connection to attach with the jet wash or via a normal attachment an because its 100-120ft higher, there is enough down pressure too.
IF i didnt have this, my neighbours would also shop me for the sake of being picky b******s.
Was literally about to say the same Dave, We've got a hosepipe ban starting on 5th April. I'm going to have to get my first major detail in as soon as possible.
Apparently a police woman lives a few doors down but I should be out of site when washing 
If I don't flush the toilet am I allowed to wash the car?
I will look into a water butt system though. I've got enough space to have a series of 3 (2 settling tanks). I've also had a quite look at downspout filter systems.
Does pressure washers really need the supply pressure on the inlet to run? or would 1psi of head pressure be enough.
If not I could just use the collected water for rinse water, or neither. :evil:

Which post was this in response too!? Is this related to polished bliss?!
Ahh! Did you order IronX or a different one?
Golf GTD Mk7
Wolfs version mate. Great value.
Has all the retailers got the new version yet?
I purchased the other day :
Poorboys SSR 2.5
Poorboys Black Hole
Poorboys Nattys Blue Paste Wax
Dodo basics of bling drying towel.
Only used the Nattys paste before and really liked it so trying stuff from the rest Poorboys range.
Quick question though I've been asked to detail a white car. I know what I've bought is for darker cars but will it bring out decent results on white?

Be fine on white. They'll look just as good.
Thanks Gally.
I thought as much but just wanted to check before I wasted 8 hours on a white car.

Is it this one? Might get it instead of IronX?
http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/wolfs-chemicals-decon-gel-cat6.html
How do you apply it?
Just spray it on and leave it. It takes longer to work that iron x but works just aswell from my testing. 1ltr for £10 is hard to moan at.
Wolf's actually discovered ironx/deironizer as a wheel cleaner. It's a superb wheel cleaner although expensive ish.
I don't recommend anything that I wouldn't use or buy myself in certain budgets.

Gonna have to get some spray bottles or something
I'll get it then, as its free postage!
I'm really regretting buying my snow foam lance and Snow Foam now.
Spent £50 on something come 5th April I'm not going to be able to use for the rest of the year thanks to the hose pipe ban, and I could've spent 1/5th that on AF Citrus that will work just as well, if not better.
Then I could've put the other £40 to other products, like Wolfs

On my silver Golf C1.5 didn't really add anything to the finish, I personally think tough coat looked better. but was easy to apply and remove. Will give it a 2nd coat to ensure even coverage though as it was quite difficult to see it when spread with a MF. I'd recommend applying to a MF applicator and spreading
Looks like I'll be selling my Foam Lance now due to the Hosepipe ban.
Gonna spend the money I get on AF Citrus and Wolfs, plus a few other bits maybe.

So the results from using these products on white was pretty good.
So good I've been asked to detail a red mini. I'll be using the same stuff I already have from the poorboys range, but what else would you guys recommend?
So I've already got what's above plus megs clay, tardis, megs trim restorer, megs tyre gel, and various other little bits and pieces.
Also the mini has the vinyl stripes. What do I do with them? Tape them up or just leave them and give them the same treatment as the paintwork?
