Just seen them on shinerama but never heard of them before
CS points? A few weeks back you were asking some very basic detailing questions. Last week you setup a detailing business, while asking Russ questions for a "detailing project," this week you're telling people you know more than most in this section?
I'm out.
I've had that stuff in my kit for so long now! Only used it once. Great on Glass!
Love the Stjarngloss stuff. Brake cleaner is really nice.

A general point I'd like to make having been a reader of the majority of the threads in this section recently:
On the whole I see this section as a valuable resource on CS. I enjoy reading the new threads and cogitating on people's views on the latest/most popular/classic detailing products and broadly speaking I think it's an easier place to get answers to specific (and admittedly sometimes seemly obvious) questions due to the more intimate nature of this section as opposed to a massive forum such as DW.
However, of late there seems to be a lot of snide, sarcastic and/or belittling comments being posted that to me risk ruining the open, friendly nature of this section and alienating those how need the sections vast knowledge the most, the detailing newbs such as myself. It would be a shame, gentlemen, if a few ruined it for the many.

Matt, the woolies worked really well for me compared, because you don't get the splash back you do when you run the EZ Detail brush in and out of spokes!

Owen I made my point clear months ago about people giving out bad advice.
I won't pussyfoot around and watch people ruin their paintwork because they think the advice they're given is fact.
Always been a problem in detailing just seems more apparent the days.
I don't know everything mate but some of stuff I seen posted recently beggars belief. I seen a guy post that he used a clay bar to take tar off. Do you know how many people on here will read that and assume that's the right thing to do?
Maybe I shouldn't bother correcting people.

How much did you dilute? I went for 1:10 sprayed on by hand, looking forward to some beading!

I wasn't thinking of you specifically Gally. But to pick up on your point, do I expect you to glance the other way or feel unable to comment when something factually incorrect is posted? No, I do not. I am well aware of, and have personally benefitted from, your valuable contributions to this section.
But, i am sure you will agree there is a way of correcting people without being for want of a better word, mean. Again, a general observation not aimed at you specifically.

o you use this stuff over your existing lsp? Does it provide any of its own protection or is simple just water behaviour
I can see the need of wheel woolies on grubby wheels, but on sealed I can't see its needed

1st world problems hey.
Yep, I'm not sure if it adds any protection though, maybe Gally knows
What's the harm? Are they more abrasive?

It's a little like Z6 I suppose. It adds very little protection but still beads and sheets water.
Just use it as a QD really. Good for lubing pads also and cheap. I went for 1:5 because I hate diluting stuff too much. It's good value. Can't even remember where I got it, who gave me it!
Wheel wollies I didn't like that much. Price vs performance really. I prefer good cleaners and getting them agitated with Ez brush.
The small wollie is good for tar removal on wheels though just not for me sadly.
was thinking it is going to make so much mix at 1:10!
I find that I'm up to they eyes when I use the small EZ Detail Brush.

At first use they don't spray at all like the EZ Detail does, worth a try if not to get some handy size brushes.

I've had this trouble with almost every whel brush I've used, just that the EZ brush actually cleans properly and lasts whereas all the cheaper ones I've had don't. It's not quite so bad on sealed wheels thankfully
You have to treat it well though. Ive had 2 and broke them both. Have an EZ mini which I think is more betterer.

Quick Q - can you get IPA from general hardware stores etc? Don't fancy the hassle of ordering something like that online.

Sorry for being thick, can you put up a halfords link for some panel wipe? Had a quick search here at work but no luck.

I know you didn't want an online place for panel wipe, but ebay seems good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5L-Can-Te...nt-Wipe-Surface-Prep-/261064095385#vi-content
Golf GT & A4 Avant
all my local halfords dont stock panel wipe other than in small amount packs of wipes and wasn't overly impressed by them. Best speak to some local bodyshops as some may sell you a little. if not a proper car paint store, mine is over 25miles away but well worth a visit.
Or as you're considering GTechniq products, why not order their panel wipe?

Well I've just ordered the glass sealant kit, so rather than ordering a common item off the net, I would rather just to in a shop and buy it.....if you can.
Golf GT & A4 Avant
there glass kit should come with G2, which I beleive to be IPA diluted 1:3.
R26
Lol how complicated is this!
Ok that sounds good. I'll give the windscreen a good going over with that first before applying the G1.

My G-Techniq TSP kit didn't come with G2, you can do without according to this:

No you need to polish the windscreen first mate, then G2, then G1 x3 then G2 again to remove. It's been about 6 months since I used it!
I'd also recommend claying the glass before application as this will help with bonding and wiper judder after application
I just clean out and refill mine with whatever fragrance I want. (dash vent type)
