Wonder wheel is way way to strong!

Chamois are about 10 years out of date

I tend to start with snow foam
Rinse
Another round of snow foam
Rinse
Auto finesse Bug , tar , grime remover (Iron x for major detail)
I usually apply the above separately then agitate with a Mitt before rinsing and moving onto the next stage.
2 bucket method with a lambswool mitt (dodo juice born to be mild shampoo)
I don't tend to need a wheel cleaner after using snow foam
I leave the car to dry itself most of the time and then a quick going over with some quick detailer with a microfibre to remove water marks
Megs endurance
I can't remember what metal polish i use for the exhaust!


Every few weeks i top the wax up. Every few months i will completely DA the cars with a light compound (Usually menzerna) then either poorboys black hole or Auto finesse triple. + Re wax.

I use buckets to wash my car.

 

[Ged]

I have 100's £££ of cleaning gear. Yet i find the easiest way is to protect the car with a layer of thickly applied dirt, that way underneath stays beautifully clean

This method is also really cheap!

Rinse car.

Re rinse car and wash again with mitt and conditioner (some stuff that works with the gard x to make the water bead and sheet )

While this is hazing I wet a wheel, spray wheel cleaner on, agitate, rinse off then microfibre them dry then move on the the rest of the wheels.
Buff off srp

probably not the best section of the forum to try and increase your post count.

Like others have said perhaps a 'Cleaning' section should be added

 

[Goodj]

sit there and stare at eastern European lasses for 20 minutes or so
hand over £10

Drive off.

Spray 'demonshine' over all the mud, wipe off with a chamois and buff to a nice shine. Sorted.

[Yellow Dave]

Russ seemed to quite like the drying towels IIRC. As said I'll purchase a litre if you split it.

I wanted to reply to this thread but cba! Far to many not taking on board the advice or experience people give out

I bet you was having cold sweats lol.

 

[Knuckles]

Why are chamois so bad?

genuine question... I've never used them as they feel a bit hard to use on paint... Or have I answered my own question?

 

[Cliotoby]

Basically yer. And they suck at drying too.

 

[Scotty-boi]

Yea. Just s**t for drying. Would be better using kitchen towel I think.

 

[JD]

I bet you was having cold sweats lol.

You know me, Lee

 

[B1LLRS]

if you buy a decent chamois they work i think i have an auto glym one seems to dry first wipe just means u need to squeeze water out more often, and as for being hard let them soak in water for 10 minutes before u use it i think there soft! lol just my opinion tho might try some micbrofibres instead.

MFW.....
