You could also try a siloxane infused snow foam,its not a cleansing snow foam,you spray it on after you've washed it....then towel dry,saves buffing@jassyo06 - Funny that 'tis exactly what I'm doing
Only using Sonax Spray & Seal as my LSP of sorts
Went a bit mental today but the thing was feeling a bit rough so did a proper decontamination:
1. Iron X Snow Soap - foamed on with a Lance
2. Washed with Carpro Reset & dried
3. Whole car treated with Tar X
4. Second wash with Reset
5. Carpro Hydrofoam applied
6. Wheels were cleaned with Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel Wash
7. Plastics done with Carpro Perl
8. Tyres dressed with Megiuars Endurance Tyre Gel
Then I swapped out my carbon mirror covers for a gloss black set and have the inside a wipe down and a hoover.
Oh l could think of nicer colours than either black or grey mate personally wouldn't have a black car ,don't like Sophisto grey at all,looks brown when the sun hits it...

Right been saying this for the last 6 months....l have lost a lot interest in detailing...think once ye know it all it becomes a bit boring....lol...prefer to do other folks cars than my own....but to be honest since coming back from my guff holiday...weather up here has been very wet but l did scrub my steering wheel and the drivers seat with Valet Pro leather soap/Swissvax leather seal,looks and feels brand new,had a impulse to buy another Dual action machine but l had to get 2 new tyres for the rears....been a nightmare to get the specific oem tyres....Kwik fit messed me about...big time this week, as had National tyre service previously ...so ended buying Pzero AO1's tonight from Tyre leader,l just need to find the right mob to fit them now without scratching/marking the alloys.
My mind has even strayed to the dark side...ie getting another car in the next 6 month.....still 1 skeleton in my car closet...we'll see
Z4M ?
Nope....As a Quote from a very famous film, set around a Scot who is immortal..."There can only be one"....only got one car rental left in me.....then its a Dacia.....from then on in....lol Got a very good full time job now....with unlimited overtime..good conditions"gave up the self employed Sparky job" so...bit more settled Nev

Will see what BMW has to offer mate,but Doubtful....like the Audi a3 saloon a lot
RS3 Saloon with a pano-roof...lol
Nice shift, but no pics
Yeah l would love a Solar orange Rs3 saloon....pano~roof see what the next year bringsCan see why mate. When the detailing mojo has gone, it’s time to consider something new to reinvigorate the passion. Something in Solar Orange lurking around the corner perchance? Nearly new and pre WLTP? It’s gonna have to be a bold colour choice to follow Voodoo...

No mate not trying to trick you into anything other than the obvious......applying such products by hand on the sides of a car can induce slight marring either by applying too much product or not removing it totally....You're not trying to trick me into polishing in direct sunlight are you !! lol !
Well unfortunately its raining now, and the sun wasn't up when I left for work, so the opportunity is missed!
Maybe next time !
Don't think I'll ever apply polish by hand again . Hell no ! If I recall correctly I'm sure that AG instruct to apply polish in circular motions ...... Asking for swirl marks !!No mate not trying to trick you into anything other than the obvious......applying such products by hand on the sides of a car can induce slight marring either by applying too much product or not removing it totally....

I have seen this comment before regarding not applying product in a circular motion. Its got me thinking does it make any difference; marring, swirls etc are caused by abrasion so applying in a circular motion potentially can cause circular marks but applying in a straight line could leave linear marks.Well @jassyo06 I was only messin with my comment (!!) but hey thanks - I hadn’t realised i could cause swirl problems etc after a thorough wash/dry and using separate MF to apply and buff polish! (& yes @X3man it does say “apply in circular motion” !!!!)
I’ll have a good look when the sun returns and report back. Thanks v much @Scotty75 for the DA offer but at the moment I haven’t got the time/competence/inclination to start machine polishing ......
