I dint know if it's something to do with the matte paint finish on the wheels, I can't help but think that if they had been gloss, then they would be so much easier to clean.
Ordered these 2 over the weekend -
Chemical Guys V7 Hybrid
Infinity Wax Rapid Detailer
Just can't help myself lol
Only bought the G3 Clay mitt as I'm doing my mates older A3 and its needing a good going over. Can't do a full detail these days so the mitt will hopefully cut down on the time.
@DrEskimo - It has been said that I have the patience of a 3 year old lolI took too long finding that small spray bottle then ><
Is this PH neutral? Please make sure to let us know how it goes!Carbon Collective Satsuma snow foam, 1L. Very keen to try this as it's apparently so concentrated you only need 10mm or so in the snow foam bottle to make an amazing foam!

I believe so, as it's designed to be suitable for ceramic coatings (Carbon Collective Platinum, etc). I'll check it out and update...Is this PH neutral? Please make sure to let us know how it goes!

So, gave this a go this evening. Very impressed! I diluted it roughly 1:18, and it was watery when applied but my god did it clean well! Almost didn't need to use my mitts and shampoo!Is this PH neutral? Please make sure to let us know how it goes!

I'm using Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer on my wife's solid white Ford Ka at the mo & am really pleased with the results
Beauty of the Sonax is it doesn't cost a fortune either
Keep an eye out for the discount codes on Euro Car Parts and it can be had for under a £5 delivered

Couple of pic's of the wife's Ka with the Sonax applied -
@Karen O' - Spray onto a panel at timeLooks good ill go look it up. I take it u just spray on wipe off? Can u recommended a good cloth to wipe off with
Thank you@Karen O' - Spray onto a panel at time
Spread in circular motion with short pile MF until you can't see the product
Then buff off with a clean short pile MF
Move onto the next panel & repeat
Remember with the Sonax BSD, less product is better. To much and you'll notice smearing
Don't worry if it feels quite 'grabby' when you've applied it. Its always like that
The beading on this stuff is amazing!
@SPIKE_S1 - ^ Nice oneJust took delivery of my Prima Amigo!
Recommended by @Bristle Hound so will try it out in the next while and see how it goes.

Don't buy MFs out of Halfords. If you have a Costco near you get them in there or if not ASDA. 30 packs available in both shops. Costco ones are superb. I've had mine about 12 months and wash them every week and still like new.Been to Halfords today and picked up shampoo, hand mitt, micro fibre cloths, another bucket, and wheel brush.. just ordered snow foam, Gtechniq C2 liquid crystal V3, korossoll iron remover and poorboys wheel sealant.. ..already got autoglym super resin polish.. not too bad cost wise on a budget... gone detailing mad!!!

AG SRP isn't really a polish. It has no cutting power whatsoever. It just gives a nice shine.
AG EGP is very easy to use and gives a nice glossy finish.
I'd use the AG EGP onto of the Gtectniq but not the AG SRP. No real need for it.
@ChivsBang - If it was me I would bin or give away both the Autoglym productsGuys I got these products from an old pack from Audi and wondered if they are any good? Can they be used on top of Gtechniq C2 - Liquid Crystal v3 ? All new to this?

@Daveotto - S3 looks fab Dave@ChivsBang I've been alternating between C2 and AG extra gloss protection. Using each on alternate months and for a quick long lasting high gloss finish the results are brilliant IMHO, that said I am no detailing expert and as @Bristle Hound said its all very subjective.

Stick with the Gtechniq C2V3 & just keep topping up with that is my advice
BUT you will find the subject of Detailing very subjective lol
