Ordered some scholl 40s after getting great reports from Alex @ADS1982

By far the best product I've used so far. Need to top it with something though. Been a while since I've been that impressed tbh

Mertin · Jan 19, 2016

Just taken delivery of some krystal kleen detail products ; blizzard snowfoam, screenwash and a selection of their air fresheners

Heard good reports about their snow foam so looking forward to trying it out, air fresheners smell good aswell with a quick try

Anybody got a link to some cheap microfibres for door shuts etc? I bought a load of blue ones years ago for a good price but doubt they do them anymore as it was that long ago!

Cant think who makes them but they normally have huge 30+ packs of yellow ones, decent quality too imo.

imprezaworks · Jan 20, 2016

Be there own make i think. Pretty sure ive seen them before.

http://www.costco.co.uk/view/p/kirkland-signature-ultra-plush-microfibre-towels-36-pack-713160 Take it it's these ones? Works out at just under 50p a cloth.

Just looking on eBay and came across these. Work out at around 28p! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30-X-MICR...em54259e0790:g:HmIAAOSw9mFWLykj#ht_5105wt_958

The Costco ones are bloody good, nice and thick and wash up well. [emoji2]

Yellow Dave · Jan 20, 2016

Costco ones as said are actually a pretty good quality and would happily use them for any job.

The ebay ones are awful, likely to blow away in the wind.

Would you go as far as to use them on paint? I have a few better quality, plusher ones that I tend to use to remove wax/sealant etc but thought I'd ask.

Costco it is.

A Karcher K2 - want one of those snow foam thingies. The AD one the one to go for?

Iv used them on paint for years. Ordered some from a local detailing supplier and the cloths he supplied / uses are the exact same pile thickness as the Costco ones. Granted you do get thicker ones but theres nothing wrong with the smaller, less plush ones. I find them a lot easier to work with.
be smart when folding the cloth and you get a lot of use out of it

leeds2592 · Feb 8, 2016

Went to Costco at the weekend and got some of the yellow microfibres. Look good quality and price was decent too. Thanks for the suggestions lads!

A load of DA pads from chemical guys uk.

Over a week ago. Still no show, no phone number to contact them and no reply to emails.

First and last time I'll be ordering from them.

I had one order from them a couple of years ago. A couple of spray heads and something else small was missing. I contacted them via email and they responded quickly to say the missing items would be posted quickly.
They never arrived so I will never use them again either. Not a great company by all accounts.

Cheers mate I did find that number earlier.

He said it was sent last Monday by parcel force...

He didn't say anything about checking to see where it was but just said he will send again by courier tomorrow...

But the small pads I wanted are no longer in stock so I've had to settle for something else.

Won't be using them again.

ADS_V6 · Feb 8, 2016

Basically he never sent them,I get my chemical guys stuff from shopnshine.Top service and free sweets :up:

I be spending my money with Dom in future.

I love the stuff. I used it the first time about 3 years ago on my Arctic clio and have sworn by it ever since.

Prima Slick is epic too.

imprezaworks · Feb 9, 2016

Didn't know about prima slick. This is how long ago. When chi first joined years ago he asked what I used, prima amigo. I dropped it round for him to borrow and that's the first time I'd met him.

leeds2592 · Feb 9, 2016

Prima Amigo is brilliant, did my old black A3 with it by hand, couldn't feel my arm by the end of the day!

imprezaworks · Feb 9, 2016

Prima is one of the easiest products to remove. I'm guessing you did lots of layers etc

leeds2592 · Feb 9, 2016

To be fair, I probably applied a bit too much pressure when I applied it (It was a few years ago now) but yes I did do quite a few layers. Then a few layers of Vics Concours over the top. Looked absolutely brilliant for the whole 3 days it stayed clean!

imprezaworks · Feb 9, 2016

Lol. Yeah i read the other day vics is nice on top. But guess what, I bloody sold the Vics

imprezaworks · Feb 9, 2016

Whats a good apc? Or should i get rejuvinate?

Slick is probably my favourite QD. Especially on dark colours.

I used it on the Beemer last week after a quick maintenance wash and it looked err 'Slick' lol

When I drive into the hanger at work I got lots of very nice comments.

imprezaworks · Feb 9, 2016

Will have to go for another wax on top.

Yellow Dave · Feb 9, 2016

I saw so many good reviews of amigo I bought a bottle rears ago now, and sold it on shortly after

Left a lovely slick finish, but didn't think it cleansed or filled very well, didn't really do an aweful lot by hand or DA.

In a general detail what do you use it for, what product does it replace?
