What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[JD]

Fark, that is somewhere in my detailing cupboard :S what amuses me about my "hobby" (read: obsession) is I had a clear out the other day and found about 30 BNIP items :S

 

[Gally]

Ahem PM me them!

 

[aucky]

FFS! The only time I have set aside for spring correction and it's too hot :|

Struggle through or just glaze the f**k out of it and save C1 for autumn?

 

[Eddie.]

Yeah. You won't really need C1 at this time of year anyway!

 

[JD]

Will do Kev, doubt you'll want any of them mate.

Aucky, any shade? Gazebo?

 

[aucky]

I have the garage. Still gets pretty hot In there though. Not I
Possible to polish, just awkward

 

[Gally]

Definitely need shade mate! Oh and wax and glaze then October ish get the C1 on. I waited until November last year to C1 mine.

 

[aucky]

It's dry and in the garage now. Cbfa lugging the Silverline round I now.

I was just hoping to have it mint for fcs

Maybe CSS if the "British" summer lives up to its rep.

Rotary or DA for amigo?

 

[Gally]

Either or I used rotary because I don't have a DA anymore.

Lowest 2 speeds on a finishing pad. Save you fannying around with a DA.

 

[JD]

DA if you have it. Lighter (especially in comparison to the Silverline) so easier to get round the car quickly.

 

[Gally]

Lols. My car is lighter than a Silverline.

Did I mention it's for sale...

 

[aucky]

Really? Start a thread about it

 

[JD]

Hehasdone. War and peace springs to mind.

 

[aucky]

Lol, there's basically 3 threads on it. He wanted to outshine Christopher's UR 200 threads I reckon

 

[Gally]

Pwnt.

 

[aucky]

Lols. My car is lighter than a Silverline.

I hate it. Feels like it was built in Soviet Russia out of pig iron.

I quite fancy an ep800 but I also wan a pet dry (black baron type thing).

 

[welshname]

Lols. My car is lighter than a Silverline.

Rust is lighter than Carbon fiber no?

 

[Gally]

Truth!

Anyway really looking forward to trying Bouncers wax.

Got some of this coming aswell...

 

[aucky]

^ can't see the pic dude.

[Gally]

Some seal feed mate. Been meaning to try some for ages.

 

[aucky]

I've always wanted some of that, price is crazy though.

 

[Gally]

Indeed mate. We'll see how it goes on the rubber stuff. C4 is fine on plastics but poor on rubber.

SV Nano Express is superb on exterior rubbers and plastics mate.

 

[lewisredfern001]

What's the bh auto wheel like? Is a wheel cleaner and iron x type combo??

 

[aucky]

Basically, yeah.

I saw it used at Shinearama yesterday and I was sold after the wheel turned purple

 

[lewisredfern001]

I think I need to get an order in to try it. Just not sure if it replaces a dedicated cleaner and iron x. Suppose if it works as its cheaper then win win

 

[aucky]

It doesn't smell like iron-x = winner.

 

[Christopher]

I was going to go to the DW day yesterday but I've been to Shinearama every week for three weekends. lol.

I'm going to wash, dry, Amigo and Z8 mine later.

 

[aucky]

Iirc amigo has some light cleansers in it. It could strip 1 of your 5 layers of carbon

 

[Gally]

I was going to go to the DW day yesterday but I've been to Shinearama every week for three weekends. lol.

I'm going to wash, dry, Amigo and Z8 mine later.

Don't use Amigo mate, another coat of Z8 on it's own will be fine. Or another coat of Carbooooon then wipe down with Z8!

 

[aucky]

I just used Wolfs nano QD for the first time (justafter a wash).
It's bloody awesome. So easy to use and seems to added a bit of gloss.

Probably not the ideal QD to use over wax but tbf, neither is z8 and it works.



Also, I think I've got a solution for roar dust at fcs/css; demon shine solution in a 5l garden sprayer, used liberally with loads of (disposable) Costco MFs, followed by a QD wipe down with z8 etc.

 

[Christopher]

Don't use Amigo mate, another coat of Z8 on it's own will be fine. Or another coat of Carbooooon then wipe down with Z8!

I want to fill a few issues I've noticed in the sunshine over the weekend though, it's only on a few panels.

Then I'd just apply Z2 & Carbon to those areas again.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Aucky ,that demon shine, are you going to dilute it?
,
i have one of the little spray on demon shine bottles and its grear for a wipedown/ QD. juat bought another bottle for FCS.

altho i will say its abit of a faff in direct sunlight.

 

[aucky]

Yes its diluted about 15:1 at the moment. I will probably tweak the mixture before then.

 

[James28]

Is Z2 applied by hand or machine? Which is better?

 

[aucky]

I'd go for hand

 

[Christopher]

Yup. By hand and panel by panel.

 

[Gally]

Yup. By hand and panel by panel.

Mucho improtanté!

 

[Christopher]

I know this from experience! lol.

 

[Gally]

Lols. Was the products fault iirc... Just ask Waitey. He's still trying to remove his Z2 layer.

 

[James28]

Cool cheers. It says on the bottle can be applied in sunlight, is this true!?
