That sinking feeling when you know you've forgotten something on your order ........
Clay bar , damn it ! Knew there was something and now my order has dispatched. Oh well off to Halfords then

So annoying, but as mentioned worth trying a call, could get cheap/free delivery
Message sent , fingers crossed. Looked at Halfords but they seem overpriced . Some of the kits on there use QD spray as lube for the clay. Don't like the idea of that as it's adding a layer to the paint prior to polishing and that's no good.
Bilt Hamber just spray water on the paint and rub the clay over it ...... Much better method .

Gave it a try but don't know if my ears were playing games or if my mobile was misbehaving....... Suffice to say I gave up .
Anyway . Popped over to Slims and used some points up , got some clay with next day delivery for less than a tenner........ Meltdown averted

Fairy liquid diluted is a very cheap lube for claying mate it'll strip any lsp left on the car into the bargainGave it a try but don't know if my ears were playing games or if my mobile was misbehaving....... Suffice to say I gave up .

Fairy liquid seems to be having a comeback round here lol.
Sure Bilt Hamber recommend spraying with water while claying but yours sounds like a good idea so I'll give it a go . Waxed the car a couple of weekend ago so will need to be rid of that for sure

Only use a drop of fairy mate in say a 500 ml bottle you don't need a lot at all, and claying a car can result in slight marring of paint, but not a problem as the compound will remove it if there is any
Thanks for the tip mate . Itching to see the results from the Sonax , heard only good things about it .

Fragile those things
Just a small’ish order from CYC:
Despite having a few woolly mammoth drying towels, I have wanted to try silk dryer for awhile. Whilst on there got a few other goodies
Well impressed with the Gyeon Silk Dryer
Have always thought the CG Wooly Mammoth (I have two) were brilliant, but find they get very very heavy and ideally need two to fully dry Q5 (it is a big old thing). Silk dryer dried the whole thing and just one wring out needed. Quality....will definitely get another for the JCW 
Sounds pretty impressive! I use AF drying towel for the S5 and find it manages to do about 95% of the car and then I use TRG to finish off the small areas and an eagle Edgeless to dry the door jambs and wheels.Well impressed with the Gyeon Silk Dryer

I do use different cloths for door jambs, but that is by choice not necessity
Finally got round to ordering some decent micro fibre cloths after putting up with small thin cheap rubbish.
Got some nice 500gsm edgeless 16 inch square cloths. Hopefully they will give me a nicer finish when buffing the car.

You really need to get a water filter. Used my new Vyair for the first time on Friday, and it was great to wash the car and let it air dry with zero water marksWell impressed with the Gyeon Silk Dryer

Hey all, first post back in a while 
taking delivery of a 2016 sepang blue sq5 plus this weekend coming... used to enjoy detailing my current Audi A4 b7 when I didn’t have a son, then my weekends seem to have disappeared for the last 5 years. Meaning the car hardly got a clean!
Sooo since I have a new car coming... thought I need some new products! splurge 01... going to try out a ceramic coating later in the year to save some $$ on paying some one to do it... but this should keep me happy for a while!
I will try and write up reports of car before and after... here’s the only shot I have of it atm when viewing it on the dealers

@einonsy . Just a little pointer for another time . Check out www.in2detailing.co.uk. They're a site sponsor here now and if you put in the code "ASNET" you get 10% off for being a forum member . Nice little saving on an order that size

would be rude not to take @in2detailing up on his kind offer of 10% discount this week.
Nothing really that I need urgently....is that ever the case

Popped over to Flea Bay , money saving exercise
Anyway , picked up some Gtechniq C5 30ml for £36.49 and some Sonax BSD for £9.99. Just about to run out of QD so thought I'd give it a try as I know some of you boys rate it ...... I know someone who doesn't lol but it'll be good to see how it performs .
Not to forget I'm also expecting a very generous gift from @Tashfeen in the post
Now if only the new boots for the A3 would hurry up and arrive

There's a seller on there worth looking at if you don't mind the bay . "Discount Detailing_UK".
Saved nearly £7 on the Gtechniq C5 over the other main detailing sites , plus free postage. Seems to have a whole host of products at a decent saving .

I thought they were the cheapest, as I know @Bristle Hound has posted that before, but when I looked this morning and searched for Sonax, came up with nothing...clearly their search function not the besthttps://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/p/-/-/-/-/?549992160&0&cc5_761

If your planning on using a machine ? You'll need Bilt Hamber Cleanser fluid if you haven't got it alreadywould be rude not to take @in2detailing up on his kind offer of 10% discount this week.

I thought Angelwax Stripped-Ease was removal system would do
Not tried that one mate .. Used Carpro eraser and Gtechniqs panel wipe both ain't as good as the Bilt hamber,the Bilt hamber just seems to go a bit further than the others ie l use less product to remove the same amount of compound residue on a panel but Bilt hamber cleansing fluid is quite expensive for 500mls maybe that's the whyI thought Angelwax Stripped-Ease was removal system would do
Tbh was looking to get BH, as have used Gtechniq panel wipe when I coated door shuts and alloys, doesn’t go far at all! - But in2detailing don’t sell it, so thought I would try the AngelWax one, as I like all their other products I have bought such as cleanliness, vision, H2Go etc
