What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Gally]

Just want to say a thanks Matt from i4D for sorting me a refund out no problem. My Z6 had a small leak.

I'll be spending the refund on his site just out of courtesy. Fantastic way to deal with things.

Not actually sure what I need now!

 

[aucky]

On that note, Shinearama replaced my SV Microfluffy last week when the seam stitching broke. Top men.

I got a £10 halfords voucher the other day, so I'll have to pop in a see what I can spend it on.
Any ideas for anything worthwhile?

 

[Hixle]

Megs Endurance Tyre Gel Dan. For the price it's awesome.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Already got a bottle of that.

Would halfords sell anything decent for leather care? That's pretty much the only dedicated product I dont have.

I'm sure AG do something, but is it worth it? (I know it's free, but you know what I mean )

EDIT: This stuff: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId_221727_langId_-1_categoryId_255236#tab3

 

[Gally]

They sell Vikan wheel arch brushes iirc. Oh and the armourall leather wipes. They are pretty good

 

[gex23]

Even though i'm saving for a new car (and stupidly looking at VX220 Turbos right now...), I have a list forming ..... :

- Vikan Arch Brush
- CG Hexalogic Pads
- Chem Guys V3 Hybrid Sealant
- Chem Guys Woolly Mammoth drying towel
- A new SF lance as mine no longer produces foam
- G101
- Some form of trim restorer (undecided)
- Some form of glass sealant
- Another Dooka wash pad
- Aerospace 303
- Poorboys NL interior dressing.

FML.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Well now you have some good stuff to clean the VXT with!

Oh I already have plenty of gear, I really have no need for most of that tbh, lol.

Also VXTs are commanding what i'd class as silly prices right now!

Really? Have they gone up recently?
I sold mine about a month ago now.

 

[Jon.G]

Can someone explain to me about Z2 and Z5. I've been told they're the same, but I've also seen Z2 is a Sealant and not a Polish. :S

I'm after a polish than I can apply by hand that will leave a nice slick finish and some depth. I've a few other Zaino bits, so would ideally like to use Z5 or Z2 (or another).

 

[Gally]

They are both sealants mate. Sadly the American's decided to write polish on the system years ago!

Z5 has very mild fillers and you could say is more suited to dark colours. I've always prefered Z2 it's a brilliant product.

I wouldn't bother with a hand polish mate. Get something like AF rejuvenate or tripple and apply by hand before Z2. Will leave the paint with a fantastic finish ready for sealing.

Plenty of glazes like Amigo leave a super slick finish.

 

[Jon.G]

Yeah I had heard that they called it a polish, when it's actually a sealant. Would you need the ZFX kit for Z2? Or is that not needed?

 

[Gally]

Nah not needed mate. Leave 30 minutes to 1 hour between layers though. 24 hours if you can but you have to be realistic.

 

[JustinS]

Just ordered myself some bilberry wheel cleaner and some collignite 476 wax...
Coming to nearly the end of all my car cleaning stuff.... can see next month being an expensive one re stocking my shelves :-(

 

[richy22]

Tell me about it...Im currently trying to replace a lot of bits in my "stock" and its craxy...I let stuff run out and then couldn't be arsed to re-order at the time.

/Lazy

 

[Gorms]

Just a couple of items i have always wanted to try out as i`m alway hearing bang on about them.

Z2 Show car sealant
Prima Amigo polymer glaze

and then just a restock of Iron x

 

[Gally]

Good man Gorms! I still <3 your car in a big way!

 

[richy22]

Z-16, C4 and Revive are on the way to me.

I bet you it f**king rains over the weekend and I wont be able to do anything

Im only tidying up the Gaylander as I want to sell it.

 

[Gally]

I'll take your C4 once your finished with it mate.

 

[richy22]

Special price.

 

[Gorms]

Good man Gorms! I still <3 your car in a big way!

Cheers Gally. Just out of interest what pad is best used to apply the Prima? Im all out of pads so will need to order some.

 

[Gally]

Via machine mate? 3M Blue is still the best finishing pad out there imo.

Cheers again Gally!

[john182rs]

Why both revive and c4? Or they for different cars

 

[richy22]

Different cars. C4 is for my freelander as its pretty much all plastic bumper and then revive for the other halfs Peugeot.

I don't like CYC, ordered at 10.58am and it says its still processing despite paying for next day delivery.

 

[richy22]

Aww fcuk I forgot I wanted some window sealer. Oh well it cann wait

That is my biggest problem with CYC, I've done and had the same experience with them, whereas i4d have normal delivery and it would arrive before the the cyc order

P21 paint cleanser arrived today thanks Kev

 

[aucky]

My cyc order arrived within 36hrs of an afternoon order. Sods law I wasn't in a rush lol.

 

[richy22]

Okay I take that back I now have a dispatch email from them....just waiting for the tracking number off DPD.


I expect it will end up in Australia then.

 

[Gally]

I'll give it 3 more days.

 

[richy22]

Its in Chelmsford...I can almost smell it.

If it doesn't get here today DPD are h'actually useless.

 

[Chapppers11]

DPD were quite reasonable last time for me.

They texted me a 1-hour window in the morning of the delivery day and arrived in time.

 

[richy22]

Yep they text me with a delivery time of 16.14 - 17.14.

I finish at half 3 today ffs. Gay. I could drive down to Chelmsford and back in an hour
