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

[Audib5fan]

Chemical guys hex logic quantum the same pads in the photos, these where recommended by the owner of in2detailing they're more sturdy harder wearing than the normal hex logic pads and in conjunction with S20 black.... It's mighty combo very easy to work with am off to do some correction on a 09 fiesta tomorrow if it stops snowing that is lol

Nice one dude hope it goes well for you I have just bought s20 black as well think I’m gonna give it a go myself seems to be much easier and quicker to do

Not yet hopefully it will begin next week, when chaos returns as most folks go back to work lol

@jassyo06 got an e-mail today about 10% at UF. I’m sure you’ve also seen it, but I also know you’ve spent quite a bit recently.

Really about ****** time..... Eh not checked my emails but l quite fancy the new Autoglym ultra HD wax...... Am sure l could stretch it for this, bought some kit last night 2 buckets/grit guards, some Angelwax car shampoo, some uber award winning drying towel, wash mitt, all for my mum's new car, but there's not much else l need at the moment bar a awesome wax was looking at Angelwax Enigma but it's mightly expensive...... So a wax is what l really need for my own car mate, for anybody l have R222 Concours wax and supernatural aquaphobic glass kit for sale unopened lol

Right bought the 2 buckets, £25 the grit guards don't fit the bottom of the buckets, kinda defeats the purpose as they will move around as you dip your mitt around the bucket poor, should be a perfect fit? My mindset of this washing technique was always a bit gash//sceptical especially once you've used a good high quality snow foam plus a citrus pre cleanser, in my honest opinion it's the worst £25 spent on 2 bits of plastic, plus a 50 pence sponge on the bottom of a bucket does the same thing, then on to the in2detailing.co.uk replica of the incredimitt..... All l can say is buy the incredimitt for the sake of a extra £7, it's guff so cheap feeling and into bargain thin, Macguirers detailing mitt is better from Halfrauds, the liquid elements drying towel feels/looks guff compared to my aquadeluxe drying towel basically the same price, but

they say its 1200 gsm...... Buts its more like 800/900 again avoid, last but not least Angelwax Shampoo yet to be tested lol

ultimate finish buckets + grit guards are definately good fitters, also its not needed but I like to stack two grit guards in the rinse bucket, dont get your sleeves **** wet through, especially this time of year.
cant top the incredimitt

I’m have exactly the same thoughts about the door pillars and the gloss black finish that doesn’t stay glossy for long. It’s the one thing I hate looking at once you clean your car...very annoying

@SPIKE_S1 - Short term, VFM quick & easy fix for this is Auto Finesse Tripple I've found mate

Works a treat but it isn't a permanent fix
But no matter what you do the swirls will always re-appear

@jassyo06 - The AF Tripple has a very mild cut on it
Polished Bliss give it a 1/10 cut level which should be very safe on those piano black trims mate
