What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[MatthewR]

Shouldn't make too much of a difference, just re wash it and if your worried quickly clay it (shouldn't take long with it being done yestoday)

 

[Joe#]

I've finally got it

 

[MatthewR]

Awesome wax, you'll love it!

[Joe#]

Awesome wax, you'll love it!

I can't wait to get a couple of layers on

 

[James28]

Lovely purchases J!
Ah thats good, I'll just make sure I wash it thoroughly after tonight.

 

[yellowbelly]

AF Hide
AF Gloss x 2
AF Revive x 2
AF Mercury
AF Spritz x 3

Oh my. Never fails to impress me.

Ah wet glaze. Impressive product. I had some when it was made by danasè.

Seems to have some decent reviews recently. Like that it does not seem fussy what it's applied under / over.

On the other hand, leaving an unopened bottle of IronX and TarX in your bedroom thinking it will be ok... It's not. All windows open trying to vent the smell that's built up whilst I've been at work :/ FAIL!

 

[Gally]

Mega fail!

Amigo is like that... Only better.

 

[Quid]

Gally is amigo realy that good?

Ive seen quite a few people rave about it lately, and would it work with r222 or is it a similar product?

Ta

 

[Gally]

R222's cleanser? Similar product.

No cleanser or Glaze is as slick as Amigo but i'd probably say R222's has the edge on Silver.

I use Amigo as a glaze with a straight cleanser before.

I'd use R222's as a cleanser/glaze one combo.

Ive bought a filter as the same in the above thread. I plan to connect it up to my pressure washer from my water butt. We'll see how it goes. I just need to buy the connectors. The mesh on the filter is quite fine si I think it'll be adequate for blasting the crap off.

 

[Elfy]

Just purchased some prima amigo to go with my other products

 

[Gally]

Nice mate. Let me know how you get on with it.

 

[Elfy]

Will do got the werkstat jett to apply after! Will give it a go once weather improves! Got nearly all the detailing stuff now ...... Hopefully

 

[w33 brl]

will be ordering some rim wax and either dodo juice wax or autogylm hd wax next week....what wax would you recommend?

 

[Gally]

Forget the rim wax it's a waste of your time.

Get some AG HD. Looks fine and lasts ages. Do no more than 2 panels at a time.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Please listen to this, DO NOT BUY rim wax! I only use it to clean up exhaust tips in a bid to use it up and not throw it away.

My choice would be the HD wax over DJ, just get the hang of putting it on in thin layers and you're sorted.

 

[Gally]

Yeah. I love DJ waxes. I'm actually on the look out for an old pot of Purple haze just for the lolz.

I've always said nothing beads like a DJ wax. I see 6 months out of 2 layers no problem.

ok cheers what would you recommend for me wheels then?

 

[Gally]

Hmmm depends how serious you are? If you're taking them off buy Gtechniq.

If you're only doing the faces maybe a little speay sealant like opti-seal. Zaino CS or new nanolex product...

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/nanolex-premium-spray-sealant.html

 

[Yellow Dave]

if you want a paste wax type sealant, 476 / fk1000 / AF mint rims.

or a spray sealant like Gally said

for the ultimate wheel sealant as mentioned in a lot of threads recently.................... GTechniq C5

 

[aucky]

Whooooops!!

30ml C1 Crystal Lacquer + (Includes 100ml C1.5 Silo Seal)
15ml C4 Permanent Trim Restorer
15ml C5 Wheel Armour
15ml G1 ClearVision Smart Glass
x10 MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth

Looks like I'll have to aim for 90%+ correction now :|

 

[Joe#]

[aucky]

I have a problem.

 

[Joe#]

At least it's a useful one though

 

[Eddie.]

Got my Vics colllectors wax yesterday of Yellow Dave. Thanks very much mate, looking forward to using it this weekend

You take a risk in getting customs charges mate, that's why it's so cheap mate.

 

[Chapppers11]

I see. So what's the chances of getting charges? You don't think it's worth the risk for £30?

Also, where did Aucky place that order?

 

[RussZS]

I got myself one of these...

[aucky]

I also received my vics concours from Dave

Nice order mate let me know how you get on.

Will do. I have a few options on the table, I may use it this spring and hope for 1yr durability from it, with a sacrificial wax on top for summer looks.

Also, where did Aucky place that order?

On the Gtechniq website.

Glad it all arrived ok.

Still have the supernatural hybrid wax and EZ creme glaze up for grabs

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

anybody know anything resistant to diesel sut on the exhaust tips?

planning on getting a custom built for my car and it will be subtle on show.

and whats a good heat resistant wax?

 

[jackthewelshman]

It's all the luck of the draw. If they check your package then you'll get charged Import Duty @ 20%. Plus there may be an additional fee, e.g. £5.00 either as a handling fee, or because the courier has dealt with customs on behalf (it's happened to me with DHL and Royal Mail in the past). Hopefully it will pass by for you though .

 

[aucky]

and whats a good heat resistant wax?

sealants are generally more heat resistant tbh.

FK1000 is the usual go-to heat resistant sealant, but there are may other options

GTechniq C5 works pretty well, and you can use the rest to coat your wheels
