@Scottyg - 'Tis a great shampoo mate
After a bit of experimentation I found 9ml of shampoo to 15litres of water works best for me

Agree, use this for years now and still the best. Followed by BH Double Speed Wax. Great Shine
Err no. Having followed a quarry truck for a mile my car is now "also available in black". It's on my Christmas to do list.
Finally got round to this today. I used 10ml in my bucket and approx 15l water. I found I had plenty of suds in the bucket but actually on the panel it seemed quite thin. Still felt slick and car came up mostly clean with a few marks left. Think I need to work on my mix. The water round here is hard and even though the house has a water softener the wash bucket is usually a 50/50 mix of soft and hard water (cold water supply in kitchen is on the unsoftened supply).
@Bristle Hound how do you find your mix normally is on the panels?
The other mitigating factor is this is the first wash the car has had since Kamikaze ISM Coat was applied so I don't know how my regular shampoo would have looked on this. I find sometimes the coating defeats the shampoos a little bit.
@scotty76 - I think we've had this water hardness discussion before lol
TBH I think the water is soft where we are, hence I am able to use 9ml of this particular shampoo
This is the last wash I did on my S4 with this shampoo
The LSP on it at the mo is 3 coats (so far) of a 50/50 mix of Sonax BSD & Adam's Detail Spray

Was at a Tartan Tarmac breakfast meet last week outside Glasgow and the guys from Angelwax were handing out some free QD samples and air fresheners. Will be trying this out in place of the Sonax BSD next time car is washed.

Just ordered another bottle of Carpro hydro 2 lite. My kinda product so easy to use and great results
Was having withdrawal as I haven't ordered detailing stuff in ages...(probably only been like a month...), SO...went to Halfords for some Autoglym screen wash as my warning came up and heard good things (although I'm not a massive fan of their range), and then went to CarPro and ordered:
BH Autofoam as a new pre-wash
BH Soft clay
CP Perl
CP Iron X (hands down the best fallout remover, all others I have used are too thick and don't spray nicely, this mists brilliantly)
CP Hydro (wanted to try it on a few friends and family cars, looks simple and heard good things)
Free shipping and a discount

Invested in some Fusso 99 wax, has lots of excellent write ups from just about everyone, and obviously the other 8 tins of wax I already have are not up to the job!!!

Haha - sounds like you need professional help! Maybe make it a new years resolution to stop buying tins of wax!

A question for everyone... What bags have you got to store your detailing stuff?
I've been looking at toolbags with plenty of pockets and no luck. I've seen a bag on DW posted in 2010 a bag called Roebuck and honestly that bag is amazing!! AND FOR £20!
An absolute bargain! Unfortunately they don't do them no more, I've literally searched the entire web and no luck.

Personally I use a rucksack that came with my Mini full of cleaning products along with a big plastic box for all the 5 litre products etc.
How about this though from screwfix, bargain price and would do the job?

Thank you, that is a collection from fiancée, parents and friends and then made a big order, definitely looking forward to using it all.
I've only used the magifoam once, with a non-AD lance and liked it, and seen other peoples good results. Committed to it now!
Just ordered some of the BH autofoam to compare against Citrus PW, will only be using a pump spray. Also ordered some Gtechniq W6 to get rid of the nasty stuff, those orange spots really show on white, hoping it does the job. Went with Gtechniq as I have CSL treatment so like to keep it consistent.

No never done any claying before. What's the difference, I'd hope this W6 will shift whatever it is lol

Not sure of w6 but if its fall out like rust or iron it will pull it out

Just received the order yesterday so will give it a whirl next time there's a nice day. It states on the bottle it has a rancid smell so thought I'd put it to the test in the kitchen by opening the bottle..... let's just say the bottle wasn't lying
W6 is a chemical method of removing embedded iron particles. It reacts with iron, turning it purple, dissolving it and allowing it to be rinsed off. This will only react with iron so won't help much with other contaminates.
Clay is a mechanical method of removing not just iron, but any inorganic or organic contaminate. When I first got into detailing the chemical methods, such as fallout removers and tar removers, weren't that big and most people just used clay. The benefit of these chemicals is they can greatly reduce any marring caused by claying, as less contaminates will remain, but you still need to clay IMO.
Clay is a really effective tool and something I always do when the car needs it. The chemicals are good, but nothing beats the versatility and effectiveness of a clay bar.

Thanks for or the info. I'm sure I'll have to get to the stage after maybe watching some videos with some claying guidance. Depends how bad the car gets. I'm tempted to just take it to my detailers once a year and pay the small amount for a quick decontam after every winter say.
