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

    Looks like a decent machine. I’ve got an old Karcher K7.85. Had it fir at least 10 years, and apart from a couple of burst hoses it’s been bombproof. It’s pretty hefty, just under 30kg, which means it needs the wheels it comes on. 2800 Watts means plenty of pressure and plenty of flow for proper...

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

    The looks are... challenging. You get no argument from me there. I can accept that some of this is probably down to the different architecture of an EV and the need for the ‘skateboard’ (a 5 inch thick slab of batteries under the floor), some is undoubtedly due to the need for aero efficiency...

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

    Ok, at the risk of going totally off-topic and risking the e-wrath of the moderators, I’ll summarise. Firstly, it on you’re state of charge at the time, and where you charge it. Day to day, it only charges to a level set on the dash or on your phone, rather than to 100%. This is for three...

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

    Oh , it’s still there, and I was apprehensive about it right up to the day it arrived. The sense of passion was was just stunned into acceptance of the “other way” by the sudden realisation that I was spending enough on fuel every month to finance another decent car. As a life long engineer in...

    GTechiq G1 glass coating. Used it on my last four cars with great success. It’s ****** amazing stuff, and seems to last ages. Wipers are generally no longer needed at speed, and ice/snow/frost/dirt etc seems to simply fall off. For those of you aren’t fans of housework it’s also brilliant on...

    Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard. Not for the car though, but for my new sofa’s. Well, it worked a treat on my S3...

    Gtechniq A3

    Don't forget decent buckets (2, minimum) a decent mitt, and the W6 iron and general fallout remover. When you get bits of brake fallout stuck the wheels that won't wash off, this stuff works a treat. Look for discounts too. If you go to elite cares page (for instance - there are many others)...

    Swirl Marks - Navarra S3

    For a full clean, clay, mechanical polish and ceramic coating, it's £450. If you want to add EXO super shiny coating to that, make it £560, and if you go the whole hog, and get your wheels, lights, glass, dash, carpets and seats treated too, it's about £700. You'll need to live without your car...

    Exterior Glass Coatings

    Just looked up the price. 250ml for £12 is very good value for money.

    Exterior Glass Coatings

    Looks like good stuff. The beading is very impressive. I've been a fan of these types of glass coatings ever since I started driving and realised that with Rain-X it didn't matter that with pre-1990's aero tech your wipers would levitate 1/2" above your window before you were anywhere near...

    Ceramic Coating Detailing

    Can't remember how much I paid Jass, but yes, it was a damn site more than £120. Of course, I also paid the thick end of £1000 for super twinkly headlights, another load of cash to replace the dials with... ...well, most of the time some pictures of the same dials, and of course a weeks wages to...

    Ceramic Coating Detailing

    No. Crystal Serum Black is not a product in its own right, but the marketing name for the combination of two treatments that can be performed at the same time for a small discount, namely Crystal Serum and EXO. Crystal Serum is a very different product to Crystal Serum Light. Crystal Serum...

    Ceramic Coating Detailing

    Quite... The best thing about it wasn't even considered when I had it done, and that's the simplification and time saving it generates. My bags of cloths, chemicals, and magic lotions is now reduced to a mere handful of essentials, and restoring the car to that level of super shine from...

    Elite Car Care - Maidenhead? Anyone ever used their services?

    Have booked my car in for three days of GTechniq-iness at Elite Car Care. Slough Audi have very thoughtfully offered to PDI my new car when it comes off the truck from Grimsby Docks, then drive it over to Elite for the work, and then pick it up again ready for new car collection day. Pretty...

    Elite Car Care - Maidenhead? Anyone ever used their services?

    First post in this particular section of the forum... I've had a new S3 on order since February, and it should finally be with me in October. The car is coming for Slough Audi, which is just down the road from Elite Car Care in Maidenhead. ECC are one of G-Techniq's approved purveyors of...

    ...Is a bit crap. Use GTechiniq G1 instead. After two and a half YEARS, it's still doing this;
