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

What, you buying it mate. Why are you buying it? Both your cars are protected. You don't need it. You are wasting your money. You need to start saving some money

Haha, no mate, been using to polish and ceramic coat door shuts on JCW, Q5 next, then will be doing exhaust tips and who knows next.
Plus £60 with pads etc a bargain. I have always said I will end up doing this myself but had the new Q5 and JCW started off by a pro

Lol. Let us know once you've done the Q5 and all the other bits and ready to sell it

Cheers mate. I did only 1-step on the A3 and that was it however, I did clean the interior with combination of Dodo Juice Leather and Vinyl cleaner, AG Interior Shampoo and BH Surfex HD. Didn't bother topping it with up with sealents of any sorts. Believe 6 hours is more than enough time to spend on a £2.5-£2.8k car ...

Going to be treated to a nice BarBQ now. I deserve some nice lamb chops after 2-days of hard work (apologies to the vegetarians out there
)

. Not CC-ing but I am thinking about stripping everything off A3 with BH Cleaner fluid and then going over with S40 and then TAC System Moonlight. Jon (Forensic Detailing) had a really good video on it so, I thought I might try it. Or it might be CC. Can't decide now. Whatever it is, it will have to be next weekend as Mrs is away for three weeks

Cheers bud. If only I had the mini DA, doing door sills by hand is a pain

Had a play with my new DI Vessel. £89.99 for a 11 litre one from Vyair, filled with MB-115. Impressed so far:



Before - I'm hacked of actually as United Utilities website says 6.86 Clarkes (about 100ppm) and I'm reading 244.



After - thats better.



Bought this bucket from ASDA yesterday. Sturdy, 14 litres for 95p - bargain.

Nice one. I have the raceglaze, and funny enough tested my DI water yesterday. And after 15+ final rinses, still reading 0.00 ppm (My tap water is 233)
 
Mate, you need to strip all the stuff off as you say, polish with your flash DA from @jassyo06 and then CC. Trust me, makes life soooo easy.

Yip l agree he's got too much product on the car that much he doesn't need to apply anymore for the rest of its life span lol after l had washed my car yesterday there where just 2 panel showing any sort of beading, all the rest had nothing on them. . The hot sunny weather in the last 6 weeks has obliterated it, so l gave it a quick coating of R222 and some Gyeon Cure but only from the door handles upwards as l was ******, 8 hours just cleaning 2 cars, l scrubbed my tyres, took me about 10 minutes per tyre must admit they looked ****** awesome after l had dressed them, took this photo after l had driven 23 miles to work in light rain still look good l think

Yer no scrubbing hard enough lol tyres need to be Spotless for it to bond to the sidewalls mate here's a photo just after application
 
Bought some more shampoo and tyre dressing, decided to try the autofinesse glass cleaner. Hopfully it's as good as the g6 perfect glass if not better.

Anyone got any comments on it ??


 
Only a small outing this time round.



Must say the Grey mitt feels much nicer than the blue I already have. The Gyeon Tyre is really good (thanks jassyo06) and I'm really impressed with the Dr Leather.

I did think you were going to say that, and probably fair comment, if you spent 10 mins per wheel on ur rubber bands. My bus has massive ****** sidewalls! Think I need to use some more aggressive cleaner like BH surfex or similiar, and even more aggressive scrubbing
 
Reactions: V6_Man

Why buy something specifically for yer tyre cleaning mate... No ****** need just look under yer sink and pull oot that bottle of Fairy liquid that's what l use and a dish washing brush as it's a perfect size for me rubber bands,

Yeah for some strange reason the grey incredimitt is denser and dare l say softer, there incredipad is coarser most likely a 80/20 mix ie cheaper and not a patch on the mitts quality

pre-wash. Thanks for the recommendation @jassyo06.

Just replaced my trusty EZ Large Detail brush which has been going 6 years now. OK so the handle did break a couple of years ago, but I did manage to fix it, but just a bit shorter. Anyway got the Daytona Speedmaster this time, but it seems exactly the same as the EZ, except it's red lol. Love these brushes.
