What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[Rhino172]

Correct me if I'm wrong but could the c1.5 not be used almost like a QD over the top of wax?

Certainly looks a lot less fussy to use than c1

[gally]

No, C1.5 should be used over bare paint (ipa'd) a nano/ceramic sealant.

If anything you would use the wax over the 1.5. Then you would be taking away the self cleaning properties and sheeting properties.

[Rhino172]

Ah cool ok, makes sense.

Just ordered a Das 6, Prima Amigo Polymer Glaze and a White 5.5" Hex-Logic Pad for just less than £100, is this good? What sealant would be best for me to use on my BMW 320D, mystic blue?

[Yellow Dave]

Z2, tough coat, werkstat, anything that's not too fussy when applied over a glaze

Did you not buy any polish? Just using the machine to glaze? You can do that just as well by hand..

Works much better glazing by machine in my experience, with a little less chance of damaging the paint if using a compound. That way he can experience the machine then move onto abrasives. I personally think its a good idea doing it that way and would recommend it

Good point. I'll shutup. ha.

Also, I'm not going to lie, I find detailingworlds personal sales section really confusing! There's so many different threads each with so many products people are selling, half the time I'm looking at threads I've already looked at and not realising, or click on one and everything's sold!

[James28]

Also, how much coverage would say, a pea sized blob of Zaino Z2 cover?
Or how much to do say half a bonnet?

Just want to get my quantities right as I have a habit of over applying stuff, and don't want to have any issues?

[gally]

Bingo!

[James28]

Bingo!

Perfect!

What wash mits are people using? Mine died today during the weekly wash.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_784.html

What are peoples thoughts on them?

[pbufton]

After doing some research on here, next week ill be ordering the following;

-Microfibre cloths
-Meguiars Scratch X
-Autoglym EG
-Carnauba wax
-Carpro Iron-X
-Autosmart Tardis
-Dodo juice born to be mild

Depending on how rich I feel may also order a Das6. All this will be from ebay, any good websites I can get it all off together to save on postage charges?

Its going to be an expensive week

I've just tried Polished Bliss for the first time and have to say I'm very impressed by Rich's service. Not wanting to criticise anyone else, but I have struggled to remain faith with CYC as it seems their customer service has suffered with their rapid growth.

Have picked up a Waschpudel, some AF Lather and some more Werkstatt Acrylic Jett. Am intrigued to try the Waschpudel as an alternative to the usual lambswool mitt.

[Junior Bear]

I was sceptical about the washpudel, let me know what it's like

The cquartz one is highly rated


I myself bought a meguiars lambs wool wash mitt, tried it yesterday and it was a pleasure to use, really glides safely across the panels

The reviews are quite mixed so I'm not expecting miracles but fancy something different so will see how I get on.
