***............Is this a Macauly Culkin thread........... "Post Alone"

slightly struggling to think of 5 things honestly....which is surprising considering the amount of detailing **** ive got

 

[pxr5]

OK I'll put down 5 things. These are products that I will always use and not replace with another brand as they are so good - to me that is. So in no particular order:

1. Powermaxed TFR - People rave about BH Autofoam. But this little gem is a tadge better IMO. And cheap as chips from ECP/CP4L
2. Sonax BSD - Great QD. In fact more a Sealant than a QD. And can be mixed with other QDs.
3. CarPro Perl - I've had a bottle for 3 years now. It lasts and lasts as it dilutable, and has so many uses.
4. AutoGlym SRP - Great AIO, cleanser polish. Really does bring up a cars paintwork with little effort - even by hand.
5. These 3 items are no longer available, but I would keep buying them in a shot if I could purchase. I have a lot of the first 2 left. My top 5 would include WetGlaze 2 though:
a. Concourse Car Care's Perficio - Amazing pre-wax cleanser
b. Wetglaze 2.0 - Purely a show glaze, but nothing shines like it. And it can sit over a wax or sealant
c. Wolf's White Satin car shampoo. I've used tons of different shampoos and this was the best. CAn't seem to buy anywhere anymore, a shame.

 

[teamspb]

Top 5 of mine in no particular order...

Gyeon Wetcoat - AMAZING results with VERY little effort...simply spray onto a wet car a panel at a time, and it will seal the paintwork for around 6 weeks
GTechniq Serum Light and Exo V3 combo - Awesome durability, amazing shine, water repellancy is amazing, lasted 3 years on my CLS with a single application!
Gyeon MOHS - Easy to use, gloss levels are very very high, good hardness rating (9H)
Gyeon Tire Shine - leaves a perfect matt finish IMO and more durable than most others I have used...lasts for ages! Used around 6-7 times so far and not even used 1/10th of a bottle
Soft99 Fusso Wax - Awesome beading, lasts around 5-6months, cheap, one tub lasts for years if stored right, can be a bit of a pain to remove however.

Others worth a mention;

Bouncers QD - amazing deatiler with an AMAZING fragrance
Elite green pad - medium cut pad which seems to do it all! Cope of the Chemical Guys HEX pad from memory
GTechniq shampoo - very good suds, so much slickness, just an all round amazing shampoo
Autosmart G101 - very good and versitle APC with many uses on the car and around the house!

Theres loads more but im hungry lol

@jassyo06 - Where to start ***

I'll do the 5 that immediately come to mind

1. Microfiber Madness Incredimitt - Tried quite a few 'wash mediums' & this by far is the best
2. Sonax BSD - A very underrated product IMHO + I like doing a bit of 'mixing' with it & my extensive collection of QD's
3. Prima Amigo - A brilliant glaze
4. CarChem 1900:1 shampoo - Love this stuff & have a fair few scents in it too lol ( Like @pxr5 I do like Wolf's White Satin too, but use my last litre sparingly as its impossible to get hold of now
5. Meguiars Endurance tyre gel - I must have tried 15 + tyre dressings & always come back to the 1st 'real' one I started using. It gives the 'finish' I am after, so it work for me
6. Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine - Why would you use any other type of wheel sealant ?
7. ValetPro Citrus Pre Wash - Good enough for me to stop snow foaming. 'Nuff said

Oh thats 7 lol

I could go on and on and on ...

No Gyeon Cure in your list Jassy ?

Gloss levels of Gyeon are sublime but endurance is mediocre lol

I will sneek another one in Swisswax seal feed expensive but returns rubber seals and trim back better than new and lasts 6-7 months with one coating apply another on top and it will last as long as your pcp deal lol

 

[DrEskimo]

1. BH AutoFoam
2. CarChem 1900:1
3. BH Claybar
4. Megs MF Cutting Compound
5. LiquidElements ECO shield

Wheel woolies are a close 6....

 

[NevMan]

In no particular order, just what comes to mind:

- incredimitt - this is the ********
- Auto Finesse IRO - I am sure there are better ones, but 1st time I have used one
- Meguiars tire gel
- Sonax BSD & V07 - WOW
Autobrite Magifoam + lance

Lots of “new” stuff to try so list will no doubt change lol:

- BH regular clay bar
- flex and wash wheel brush
- CarPro Hydro 2
- Dodo Juice future armour

I have had go with the incredipad twice now and can say this, l can wash my car far far quicker with this pad it's a nice bit of kit, the only downside of it is, its not as dense as their mitt pile quality is not as good but it's cheaper l flew around my car with it and if l am honest it washes parts of the front grille the mitt can't get to

am i right in thinking the pad is the smallest, the mitt is the middle ground and then the largest is padXL.....
i thought about getting a pad XL but think it might be a bit too much weight to be holding when washing the vertical sides to the car.

i just use the mitt as a pad anyways, just fold the little wrist thingy in on itself

Yeah it's the smaller pad l got from ultimate finish as a Freeby for buying **** over £60 it's a perfect size and far far easier to use than the mitt even when folded mate worth £12

for a freebie it could be a dedicated mitt for the bottom quarter of the car! i always cringe up a bit when wiping over the side skirts with my nice mitt

As far as quick detailers go QED is highly regarded as is common as muck Reload
But again any quick detailer is just a quick fix ,on a freshly polished panel then wiped down with cleanser fluid l applied gyeon Cure its failing already after nearly 3 weeks as will most

There it is - Gyeon Cure recommend, again !
BTW @jassyo06 have you ever used BSD & any of the 'recommended' mixes ?

BSD is somewhere between a QD & a full sealant anyways

Best remember when you do use it, you'll need to get rid of anything you've applied previously mate

1. Gyeon Cure for topping up ceramic coatings and some good beading.
2. Carpro Reset Shampoo - again a great companion for ceramic coatings but a good, thorough shampoo.
3. Microfibre wash mitt - I don't do wet sheep.
4. Gyeon Wet Coat - maximum laziness for top beading.
5. Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine - great on wheels, works well on exhaust tips too!

I'd have included Carpro DLUX for use on wheels as I was very impressed with how well it worked but as is was pro detailer applied I thought that might be cheating.

 

[Jassyo06]

There's far too many folks mentioning this Car pro guff lol
