    Drying cloths + Wax prep

    I bought one of those blade things, before I bought the quality super absorbant towel I have now. Not really seen the need to use it plus worried about scratching of course..

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

    Oh yes, big time hahah! @Jimbob76 thanks for the response. I'll look into alternates to the tyre gell, I thought it was generally rated quite good. As for the auto wheel, yeah i use it first on dry dirty wheels. Usually use auto wheel, then clean wheels with the brush etc, then snow foam car...

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

    Not bought anything but been thinking of a few things Was thinking of buying a wax that I could apply with the DAS6, my friend let me use his meguiars liquid wax (he applied by hand), but I tried with the DAS6, but its too runny I think for the pads. So any recommendations for Sepang .. :)...

    4 cleaning products only!

    Think I'd rather have wheel cleaner rather than snowfoam... Always wonder how much (or little) snowfoam actually does.. Especially in the winter felt like it was just a waste of time really.

    Not sure what happened to my paint here....

    Well the good news is the weird paint is gone... the bad news is I messed up when using the touch up paint, the clear coat anyway and now theres a few rather visible blobs of paint on the bonnet :(! Not sure how I can thin it down.... looks rather silly....

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

    My Lowe Cornell painting pen arrived today. I ordered one from Amazon like 3? weeks ago and it was coming from America, but the courier said its been lost somewhere, so the seller refunded me (£10~). Bought another one earlier in the week, this time from a UK based supplier on Amazon for £13...

    Not sure what happened to my paint here....

    It isn't really that bad, only can see it from certain angles really and depends on the light. So I might as well try the ultra polish first I suppose. The kit arrives tomorrow, but still not received my touch up paint stuff for the chip...need patience for that to arrive... Thanks for the...

    Cleaning flys off screen

    That's too far north for me to understand :) I was around Yorkshire Dales / Lake District at time. Never killed so many flys lol. My cleaning method was just a pain though haha.

    Cleaning flys off screen

    When i was up north a couple of weeks ago it was a serious problem, visibility at the end of the day (or even half way through the day) was terrible... petrol station, go to the tyre inflator machine and use the water tap to pour all over the windscreen, then a baby wipe and some elbow grease haha.

    Not sure what happened to my paint here....

    Decided to make a decision and ended up buying "DAS-6 PRO - Meguiars Hex Logic Kit" £144, so like 50~ cheaper than the pro plus, which came with another pad and a bag I think but whatever. I'm sure this will do the job as seems highly rated anyway. So yellow pad and start slow with the speed...

    Not sure what happened to my paint here....

    Some difference hey! Should/do people bother with using clay before polishing? or just a normal wash.

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

    Got them last week :P I go to that place too often haha, it's around the corner from my work though so conveniant. But they need like a 5 items or less queue! Especially because we are pigs at work and any exam, birthday etc. requires cake/cookies :)

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

    Large bottle of meguiars shampoo, only bought a small one a few days ago for £8 I think but from Costco the large one is like £11? And 3? Times the size so bought it while there. Simoniz tyre shine. Never used but super cheap for 3 bottles (£5?) so will give it a go. And finally a 1.1KG...

    Not sure what happened to my paint here....

    Done nothing about it yet, still umming and ahhing about buying a DA (and if so, how much to spend on one). Need to wait till I touch up the dent anyway with some paint I imagine before I touch the surrounding area anyway.

    Swirl Marks

    Interesting to know. Even the new showroom though? They have washed mine a couple of times and it's come back looking pretty clean but never too concerned with swirls until recently where I'm more concerned, but I'm sure some damage has been done anyway already.

    Simoniz Back to Black Tyre Shine

    Yeah that's kinda my thoughts as it's ridiculously cheap... I'm not sure what I'm using currently, I got given it in some other container so not sure of the name but it doesn't last long anyway.. A week maybe. So could use this more regularly, though I suppose the tyres should be clean before...
