What Detailing / Car Care Products Have You Bought / Ordered Today?

[SPIKE_]

Stupidly when l ordered 1 litre of C2v3 back in January, l forgot all about the Gyeon Cure or l would have got it to go with the crystal cerum light and EX03, but got some now, l just think gyeon Cure gives a higher gloss finish than C2v3
It's up to you mate both are good products

I'm not sure if C2V3 is engineered to work best with their ceramic coatings, or would another detailing spray work even better. I suppose a bit of trail and error is the best way to find out.....or spend an hour or two on DW and get my head in a complete spin!! Hopefully get something ordered in a bank holiday discount event.

@jassyo06 @Bristle Hound my A4 has Gtechniq Ultra ceramic coating and is due a detailer spray. I was told to use C2V3 presumably as its from the same manufacturer. Reading what James noted above, do you think its OK to use another spray that is better rated?

@SPIKE_S1 - Can't see it being a problem TBH
Plenty of products out there & each of us have our own fave's
Not a bad idea to stick with the same manufacturer tho'

No recommends from me as @jassyo06 will only disagree & come back with Gyeon Cure (again!) lol

So did a quick:

- pre rinse
- autobrite snow foam
- alloy clean
- rinse
- wash with autoglym shampoo & conditioner using incredimitt
- rinse
- final rinse with aquagleam 0ppm filter

No water marks after an hour but not fully dried

Always wondered if these are any good, cheap though I suppose so good if going to ruin them (ie, exhaust tip cleaning).

Over the weekend I went and bought Gyeon Q2M Silk Dryer 900x700mm ... maybe could have gone for the smaller size

I was about to ask what did you mean by air dry as I only let my laundry air dry . I thought you had one of those blowers to air dry the car.

What is your washing method? Haven’t done this before so interested to hear what you say!

Haha, funny enough I do have a blower, but this was an experiment to see if water (0ppm) was left on car that it would dry without water marks.

But even trying with microfibre is SO quick, I will do that most of the time - or use blower

Same here

I know you have asked BH but I wash all MF towels on a 40* wash and dry cycle and then let them air dry for few hours. I have also tried just wash (40*), air dry and then a 40* dry cycle in the washing machine and I have found the latter to work better.

I wash all my towels/drying towels by hand with a mild washing liquid, then let them dry with aid of a fan heater for about a hour then let them dry naturally on a clothes horse in the conservatory l never mix cloths in a wash ie drying towel with buffing cloths etc
But a tumble dryer is the best way to dry them by far

@SPIKE_S1 @S32B - I always wash my MF's on a 40 degree C wash with Fairy non bio liquid
Then dry 'em off in the tumble dryer

In my experience those Costco MF's do hold a bit of dye, so just bear that in mind for the 1st couple of washes

 

[NevMan]

Muppet...... Lol

lol, will give a go until I can get round to ceramic coating, which I may do in the summer, as my neighbour has agreed to let me have access to his double garage for a week. Going to go over car with fine tooth comb. Trying to build up the courage to buy a DA polisher, but hand polishing will have to do for now

@jassyo06 hey, I'm still a fan of that green!

Just washed my car quickly, started chucking it down for 10 minutes while I was rinsing off the snow foam -.- (been nice all day until then!)

I was very impressed with the Gyeon Q2M Silk Dryer towel, super absorbent. I've only got the Kent extra large towel to compare it to but it was more absorbant and didn't leave as much fluff behind.

Kent products are OK if you're not really into detailing, a good drying towel saves you time and effort so paying the extra pays off

Last thing for a while now - Honest!

For the ever growing collection.

Used a few BH products in the past which have all been very good. But not auto-wheel.

[pxr5]

Just about to bung in an order from Slims for:

Detailing bag - for my forced rotation polisher
Carpro Eraser - Time to use a proper panel wipe instead of an IPA mix
Koch Chemie FSE - I like they way it can remove water spots, gotta try it, and add to my massive list of QDs (wonder what it will be like with BSD lol)
Spur pad brush - Again, time to do it properly instead of a terry towel
CGs Wheel Wash Mitt
CGs Stripper Scent - ooo errr

Time to stop spending now lol....or not

 

[V6_Man]

CGs Stripper Scent - ooo errr

Have you tried it before, is it any good? I know these things are personal choice but when I ordered by CG New Smell from In2Detailing I thought about orderings that one as well.

I have been using CG New Car Smell for the last 3 years and love it!
