What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[aucky]

Much longer than anything else

[gally]

Get a ceramic nano sealant of some kind. Plenty out there.

My tip has been wearing C1 since last november. Looks great still.

[HMS Derv Destroyer]

Orderd some c5 and I have got some AF metal polish stuff off a friend to try out aswell. See how the c5 gets on first then other options will we considered

[cswalmsley]

Bought a litre of super resin polish today with the free finishing cloth.

Never used polish before.

Is this stuff Any good?

[HMS Derv Destroyer]

Haven't used the new and improved version of SRP yet but I have the old version and it's brilliant for a low budget.

Is it easy to use then?

I'm guessing I need to get some polishing cloths from somewhere. Any preference?

Or use an old tshirt with buttons on?
Only joking. But seriously. Any preferences???

[HMS Derv Destroyer]

It's alright tbh, does a good job of making the paintwork shine. I use meguiars applicatipors and megs microfiber buffing cloths. From halfords

[aucky]

Just got back from Shinerama (Dodo demo day).

Bilt Hamber soft clay
Glazing pad
Various sheets of wet & dry
Spray bottle
Supernatural wash mitt (I to grit on mine the morning)

And a pot of the brilliant Bouncers #22 wax.


Definitely time for a wax cull now.

[Joe,]

Was it a good demo?

I haven't got the balls to wet & dry

[aucky]

It was ok. The new formula SN hybrid had impressive water behaviour. I just couldn't resist getting some B22 as a back up wax. Very soft and buttery, quite glasur-esque.

The wet&dry is for my headlights but I got a 4k spot pad to play with.

[Joe,]

Oh right, I used to use SN before I got Glasur and loved it.

Ah that makes sense

Just ordered some Zymol Carbon, a Wooly Mammoth drying towel, 12 x Eurow shag pile microfibres and a DAS-6 Pro with the Menzerna Kit from CYC.

Any tips on applying the carbon and the menzerna polish/pads? I've been trawling through the DW thread on machine polishing and I'm going to have a watch at the 'Introduction to detailing day'.

Do all the prep work prior to polishing to get the best results.

So, wash, de-iron/tar, clay...

Start with the lightest polish and pad combo. I think the yellow Menz pad is the lightest with Final Finish is it?

[john182rs]

zymol carbon = excellent stuff.

Do all the proper prep work before it, you will litterally need a small amount on your pad to cover around 1/3 tohalf of the bonnet, do it in shade while the bonnets cool and you'll get proper results.

Detailing by PSJHodgson, on Flickr

[cswalmsley]

I've got some of the AG leather and upholstery cleaner that a friend gave me. It needs the spray gun attachment for it though.

Anyone used this stuff??? And where do I get hold of the spray nozzles like in the picture above on those AG bottles.

[James28]

Ebay will do em. Or any detailing site. Might not fit though so you might have to get one with a bottle and decant it.
Failing that buy another AG product you will make use of and just swap the spray head between them.

[cswalmsley]

Ok that's a fair point. And has anyone any experience with this stuff?

[Rhino172]

I used the ag leather stuff in my old valver. Easy to use and worked rather well.

You can see hear, it's just been applied to the right side, left side untouched.

[cswalmsley]

Ah I see. It's quite good then. Will have to source a spray nozzle out for this and have a go using it.
