The car care industry is slowly becoming like the sport supplement industry.

Struggling to find them anywhere... have emailed Richard from Waxybox to find out more... will update you.

Cheers dude, I loved the smell and feel of that product, went a long way too. Oh and I ordered some of that bullet carnauba spray from the box before.

Agreed, it also helped with my extremely hard water.

Haven't tried that one actually. If I can make it down this or next Sat, I might just bring a bag of them with me and try them out on whatever is lion around.

 

[Scrooge]

Plus it looked pretty

I still need a new rotary too before mine packs up all together

I think I'll be buying an EP next time around. The PC and Silverline really are the dregs of the industry now.

 

[Scrooge]

I really enjoyed using the spin doctor, but then again I came from using the silverline lol

Gyeon stuff looks and sounds good, but the rumours have started about it being rebranded Carpro

Well I love Carpro stuff so that's not a problem for me.

One of the guys from Gyeon posted about the acccusations though - a lot of stuff is going to be similar etc. but they have their own unique formulas.

Re hubikote;

LOL Turbodurbo.

I thought everyone knew about that stuff. PB gave up CarPro/IX etc because of margins. They simply spat the dummy but they realise how successful the range is now and have marketed it well.

Kev, I started reading some of those replies between Gyeon and other members and then, in the words of Austin Powers "Oh no, I've gone cross eyed". The industry is hilarious. Who copied who, who rebrands or rebottles who, who advertises or works with who due to which product margins etc...

As someone who can afford to buy the products I want, I really couldn't give a f**k if PB use Gyeon or CP. I want a product that works.

 

[JD]

Do 320ds have turbos? Genuine question to everyone else, just being an arse to you. x

Me either! I couldn't care, personally it's the lying and underhand nature that annoys me more than anything. See Limited Edition Desire for eg...

Dont think so, no.

Released as a lim ed and then put into full production at a lower cost?

 

[Gally]

Just read that thread as missed the 2nd page! There are admissions and everything in there hidden in gobbledy gook!

 

[Yellow Dave]

There's 100's of people that truly believe that every man'f sits in there own unit hand mixing and pouring products themselves. It was pretty obvious visiting AF that they didn't make it themselves in-house. the sooner that people realise that there are only a handful of actual man'f out there that supply to individual companies to their own requirements the sooner all these petty arguments from brand followers will stop. To me it's fairly obvious that these companies buy in base products and/or tweek them to suit their own wants or needs.

take angelwax for example, known for producing Desire and the original bilberry wheel cleaner, got angry when both the companies went to another man'f. nothing new there really.

 

[Cliotoby]

Dodo juice are responsible for brewing all the car waxes in the world. So Swissvax, Zymol etc.

All made by Dodo Juice

 

[Gally]

^That statement has court case written all over it..

 

[JD]

^That statement has court case written all over it..

It's also incorrect. It's not DodoJuice. DJ is the brand name the manf of the waxes brought to market to compete with others.

 

[aucky]

My head hurts :|

 

[JHead]

So yeah... just splashed out on this from CYC:

Monster Microfibre - Purple Monster
Gtechniq C2 - Liquid Crystal v3
Gtechniq - G5 Clear Vision Glass Coat
Ultra Fine Buffing Towels Pkg/2
600ml Plastic Bottle with Sprayer

hopefully i will work out how to use them... and be able to notice the results... i'd still class myself as a "car-cleaning rookie" i dont think i yet deserve the title of "detailing rookie" !!

To get the best from the products, do plenty of research on adequate preparation so they perform well

Can't go wrong with clinically clean paint. It's when you start layering it gets more complicated

 

[JHead]

Previously I have decontaminated the car, and applied triple and /or ag srp. At one point I have had a layer of vics red wax too

 

[MatthewR]

Trying to resist the urge of buying another DA / Rotary, I seem to buy one around Christmas, use it early in the year prepping for summer then sell it on mid - end of summer.

Just get the one you want and keep it!

 

[MatthewR]

I know I really should, but it doesn't get used often enough (once, maybe twice a year) it seems like such a shame leaving it sat there all alone the rest of the time.
