What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Gally]

What bracket is the new wax going in?

I want another DA, been using one on and off recently. Great choice mate.

 

[Yellow Dave]

no idea where it will sit in the range, its a basic sample at the moment so no fragrances, colours etc

seems quite a firm, but not hard wax, but quite oily so spreads incredibly well. apparently this prototype is all about application, and it looks very promising

Ive bought 2 new big white buckets with grit guards for £30.... So now the gardeners in my family can p*ss off with pinching my buckets saying they couldnt tell the difference.....

 

[john182rs]

I can not add to my previous post.

Just ordered some Autobrite stuff, banana gloss shampoo, non acid wheel cleaner, few drying towels. I will be ordering more stuff by the end of play today!!

 

[Gorms]

I get back from Afghan in a few days time so decided to give the car a little treat as its been stuck in a garage for 3 months. Just a restock really but all good.

Zaino Z16 tyre shine
3x Large i4detailing blue drying towels
Large Ez wheel brush to go with my mini
Dodo plush microfibre
10x i4d microfibre cloths

Also ordered a large dust blower which im going to give a go at drying the car.

Cant wait to get back.

We have not yet released any info on the wax as we want the tests to be true "blind tests" sometimes if you tell someone a product is going to be super highend peoples minds tell them its better than it is, id rather get real feed back.

This wax is a "show wax" rather than some ultra durable beast (we have than in Desire already) and the real feedback im after is on the application and removal, I think we have really cracked it with this one in terms of usability, but its good to put it in the hands of those who would be using it and see what they think.

All the new products debute will be at Autosport international in early Jan 2013.

Thanks Dave, i appreciate your input.

Only thing I hate about Autobrite is the postage costs.

Lucky!

I think I'm going to invest in a Flex rotary. Barney from Auto Glym popped down the other day to demonstrate their new 'Paint Pro' paint renovation system. He was using a Flex instead of his Festool and I can see why. The thing was magic. Loved it.

 

[aucky]

Good review. Rupes is also very good.

Good review. Rupes is also very good.

I should do a proper write up really.

Have you tried 'Bigfoot'?

 

[aucky]

Nope? Explain!

 

[200 Alex]

The newish Rupes DA is called Bigfoot, people are ranting about it. Yet to try one myself though

 

[aucky]

Ah, I didn't know it had a name.

A couple of us had a pad burnout shakedown test at Shinearama last year, the torque doesn't give out at all! Even with a whole bodies' weight. Great machines.

 

[James28]

How can you moan about the postage costs?

Because if you only buy 1/2 items, it doubles the cost of the order. Why I order from Polished Bliss as much as I can.

Russ@MCC raves about it iirc.

 

[Scrooge]

Af hide.

 

[aucky]

Lol, thanks Gally

 

[Gally]

Flol! Our postal service is shocking mate!

 

[Gally]

It's not actually that good mate. I know people rave about things, some people are paid to rave about things. Russ seems to have gotten on with it quite well though. We have one at work. It never gets used now.

 

[aucky]

I've just had a quick go (wasted btw). I love the grip point at the business end. Makes control so much easier.

 

[JD]

God I hope you're talking about a machine polisher!!!

 

[aucky]

I'll leave it to your imagination

 

[Gally]

Oh err matron! It's a stunning machine. We've just ordered another at work. I love the 3M one, just so well put together.

 

[Cliotoby]

Ordered and tried mercury yesterday and i dont think its all that TBH.

 

[Scrooge]

Same as me then, although I'm yet to retry it after speaking to JD.

 

[Cliotoby]

Whats he say?

It works OK but it isnt abrasive enough IMO

 

[Scrooge]

It was in this thread I think, I neede to some back to back test with previous metal polishes i've used etc.

 

[Auto Finesse]

Ah im sorry to hear this, have you tried it with a some fine grade wire wool ? thats when it really comes in to its own.

 

[john182rs]
