The Flex is a better machine mate far better, ie its overall build quality and its cooling system behind its backing plate ie the pads don't heat up making dusting almost redundant
What Detailing / Car Care Products Have You Bought / Ordered Today?
- Thread starter Bristle Hound
- Start date
Haha - you know I’d take it off your hands too
Let me know if the urge to go cordless gets the better of you! Looks like you’ve spent all your hard-earned on top-notch AV gear though, so guessing that ain’t gonna be soon
Fantabolous job mate and brlisnt write-up.. Love the colour. It really pops once cleaned properly
Cheers mate, means a lot from someone with standards as high as yours. Looks like you’ve been busy with the A3 yourself!
Double wash today, knackered
Usual snow foam with BH, carpro reset and topped off with reload
You must have been ****** by the end of yesterday mate! Cracking results though. Awesome. Seriously great finish.
Let is know when your mini DA is up for grabsas @q5man has decided not to talk about it at all
. He thinks I am funny

Haha @Tashfeen. Been using the mini da to repair the mark on passenger door handle, thanks to some inconsiderate f*ckwit. Been building up the layers and then polishing with mini da, and will then top off with clear and polish
Chaos, in a separate note, just bought some 18” OEM wheels from Germany, going to shod them with winter tyres.
Recommendations on coating, as will then do them once tyres are on, before fitting around the end of Oct.
C5 - couple coats?

C5 will do nicely mate and if i where l would go over them with the mini rotary with some S20 before hand then wipe down with ipa or something similar
Nice one, and yes, planning on using mini da before IPA and couple coats. Should I leave 24 hours between coats?
When I then have summer wheels off, will do the same with them, that way whole wheel and not just outside gets coated
Will get 30ml and see how far that goes.
24 hours no chance get a small heater on the new wheels and it'll cure in a couple of hours mate, curing times vary just because of the ambient temperature, just polish one wheel, then apply the ceramic then fire it in front of the heater and by the time you've polished/prepped/coated the next wheel the first wheel will have curedNice one, and yes, planning on using mini da before IPA and couple coats.

And If remember correctly the gtechniq C5 curing time is less than the equivalent paint ceramic, also lol l would buy in a wee bottle Sonax perfect finish for the new alloys as it has more cut,cuts quicker and leaves a better finish, easier to wipe off the surface,easier to clean off the pads than S20 there you go, my S20 has never been used since l got the Sonax, it's more expensive but by god its worth itnice one, will do so
Jeez, you need to own your own detailing site, no jokes lol!
What style of alloys are the 18s and winter wheels and tyres ***... You living down in the deep Saath. ...
Not that anyone asked me to post petrol forecourt pics but I thought why not

Nice alloys mate. Would you mind sharing the link to the site you ordered them from as I am also looking for 18s for the S4.

Once Alloys arrive, will order tyres, get them fitted to alloys, then prepare/polish/seal them before fitting probably end of month or early Nov.
Any tips on tyre places appreciated. So far Blackcircles, Camskill, Mytyres appear to be best pricing.
Around £130ea fitted
Need 235/60/18 Winter tyres for Q5

I have used Cartyres.com and Blackcircles but never used Camskill. Cartyres used Halfrauds for fitting and Blackcircles use ATS both of which (BC and ATS) are owned by Michelin. A colleague at work recently used Camskill for his M140 and it came out as cheaper than the other two.

Thanks mate, yes have used BC before, I thought they were owned by Tesco.
Will check out cartyres.com
Thanks mate, but not Costco member, there isn’t one anywhere near me.
Just ordered some winter tyres from here, they were chaper than blackcircles etc.. - https://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyres/winter

Nice little order from CYC. I like the hand written personal thanks for the order too, just a nice little touch to say they are actually grateful for your custom, will use again for sure.
Nice Nice... if it were not for CYC stocking gyeon products mate, l wouldn't use them as they are far too expensive and the discount is around 3%, for example my last purchase from them came to £190 l got £6 cashback to spend on my next purchase and you don't get free delivery until you spend over £100, choice of products is the best, but you can't build up a loyalty discount with them
