    Carbon Collective

    The machine polish IS the correction, you need to make the paintwork as perfect as you can before you apply the coat. Imagine if you will, applying the CC over hazy, scratched, swirly paint - that’s what you’ll be protecting so it will bead wonderfully and be shiny and repel dirt blah blah but...

    Carbon Collective

    Normal wash - snow foam, dwell, rinse, wash with shampoo, rinse, rough dry... Then Iron-X or similar and rinse (make sure you do this part thoroughly) Then clay bar/mitt/pad (whatever you prefer) then wash again. Then machine correction (I’ve got a DAS6) to as much as you need/are brave enough...

    Carbon Collective

    Mine has Carbon Collective Platinum Paint on it, it’s good value for money and easier to apply than most. Has given me almost two years of service before it’s now needing another go. I took a day to completely decontaminate, correct and clean the car and then this was applied in less than two...

    What shampoo

    I've just used Bilt-Hamber AutoWash for the first time, was going to do a review but to be honest it's probably better to put it in here. Blows away anything I've used before - no way I'm going back now! Previously swore by Meg's Gold Class, then had a bottle of Britemax (I think - purple...

    Snowfoam opinions

    I've used the AD Magifoam (ok), then went over to Carbon Collective Satsuma (superb!) and today I used Avalanche for the first time (the toffee flavour, FWIW). I was impressed with Avalanche, seemed to last forever, smelt great and was nice and thick (personally I think the recommended dilution...

    "Cleaning" tyres?

    Haven't tried yet, I've got Citrus Pre-Wash - reckon that might do the trick? Hate that effect that comes over time!

    "Cleaning" tyres?

    Hi guys, Got my RV019s back from the refinisher on Friday and they've marked the tyres with an off-white crayon to denote which tyre came off which rim. Anyone know what I can use to get rid of this before applying tyre dressing? Thinking alcohol gel or meths?

    Car vacuum cleaner - how do you do yours?

    I'm ashamed to say I only ever do the outside of mine, it'll go into Tesco's hand car wash this weekend for an interior clean. Hate doing it whilst I could spend hours on the outside. And I do!

    Ceramic Coating Detailing

    I have no issues with Carbon Collective, been on mine a year and a quick Top up with their new "Hybrid" last weekend brought it right back on form. I applied it myself too, must say I was quite chuffed with it.

    Who recommended Citrus pre-wash?

    Gents, as I said to @Bristle Hound yesterday, I have to concede and take it all back. The car was CAKED in winter film, thought I'd try CPW before a snow foam and so used a trigger spray bottle, with a roughly 1:8 mix in warm water. Seriously impressed. Could see the grime running off the car...

    Who recommended Citrus pre-wash?

    I noticed BH, wasn't that offensive! This wasn't a dig at you (I know it was you who recommended) but yes I did find it pretty ineffective, I might try using a trigger spray mix next time.

    Who recommended Citrus pre-wash?

    It just ran off, taking nothing with it - I was kinda led to expect miracles after some recent posts and definitely didn't have any! Thanks @Brasso for confirming it's not just me or my technique...

    Who recommended Citrus pre-wash?

    Gave the car a long-overdue wash today, it hasn't been done for weeks and I left it longer than I would normally to punish myself for smashing my mirror! Decided to start with the ValetPro Citrus pre-wash I bought a few weeks back, mixed it up 1:6 in my snow foam bottle, gave the car a huge...
