What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Stuiemc]

Just thought it would be a good idea for people to post there recent buys, as they could come in handy for someone else.

Al start,

Bilt hamber clay £10.95 good size and can be used with just water. Av only read good reviews about it too.

After many recommendations on DW, I've just ordered the Jeffs Werkstat Acrylic Kit. Free delivery too from Polished Bliss which saved me about £8

Gonna get some BH clay n'all in the near future. Most people on DW recommend it. Have you gone for the soft or regular clay?

Great product, personally I add a capful of car wash shampoo to the water

Plain water is a very good lube for this clay adding surfactants is not necessary and can be proved detrimental

Nothing for two months as I've been a good boy.

If you ask what have you won recently... well, that's a different story...

If you are a tried and tested user of clay. If you're a newbie and don't use enough lube, this happens;

Don't shoot the messenger

I'm just saying that BH say that adding stuff like shampoo to the water could actually be detrimental as their clay is specifically designed to be used with just water as lube. I myself, would be tempted to add a bit of shampoo but maybe you've just got to trust the manufacturer as they know the product better than anyone.

Of course if it was any other clay, I'd definitely use lube

[Harpham]

Ive also been a good boy for a few months... Have needed to save the pennies, although I feel a big order to i4d coming on soon

Don't shoot the messenger

Not at all buddy, I prefer chatting to a fellow DWer

I think that the BH clay is the same as Zaino clay, they are both designed to be used with plain water, and will fall apart when using any other lubricating product with them. I find BH leaving quite some marring though, so it's not my favourite.

I have a new item:


It's a Dodo Juice Supernatural wash SPONGE...
YES..a SPONGE! Made out of 'the softest foam' ... i'm very sceptical though, but want to use it prior to judging!

I've read three reviews - one said it marred and the other two have said it didn't marr as much as a sponge, but showed signs of damage after 10 washes...

[gally]

I'll leave the sponges for other people to use. To be fair swirls and marring is inevitable it's just the severity that matters.

I myself have had swirls ect... nothing LP wouldn't take out to be honest, everyone gets them.

The BH soft clay is awesome, was very impressed with it to be honest. I added a tiny spot of BTBM to aid lubrication.

[JD]

f**k you and your soft paint, you you you... you softy!

f**king VAG paint **throws strop about how f**king hard it is**

[gally]

Pmsl! I heard the vag paint actually pissed in a bottle of LP because it was that soft.

I don't need 10 washes... it already showed swirls and damage on my paint after one wash today

[Ads_172]

Odd that DJ would release a sponge without performing rigorous tests. They've tried to reinvent the wheel and failed by the looks of it.

This week I have mostly bought PB Black Hole and GTechniq P1, and some accessories including bargain aluminium water spray bottles.

[MagpieV6]

I haven't bought anything since October!

Just spent £400 on a house survey, I had designs on that dosh for some detailing goodies! Soo need some wheel woolies too.
