whats the best clay mitt/cloth available at the moment?

Bear Head · Apr 20, 2015

Should I keep a decent car wax refrigerated or not?

Yellow Dave · Apr 20, 2015

No but ideally it needs to be kept at a constant cool temperature. In a cupboard that keeps coolish would be fine.

cool in there

Whats the difference between a das6 and a das6 pro?

Is das6 pro the best for a newbie?

As long as it doesn't get too hot in the summer. Heat will cause the wax to potentially melt or separate.

All mine are in a box under the spare bed

Stronger motor from 500 to 850watt

aucky · Apr 21, 2015

Less vibration too iirc?

Adam93 · Apr 21, 2015

Noticed this in Tesco tonight, nearly bought it but wasn't sure if these type of brushes will scratch the wheels or not ?

The pro version is £105 iirc on CyC with the Cs discount.

No brainier imo.

It's what I use and I can't fault it.

...the on/off switch could be situated better but that's just nit picking.

I quite want to do petrol blue now.

I'd be happy to, but I'd feel bad doing another liquid yellow before my own lol. I've only had time to give the bonnet a mild correction lol!

I used to work in a shipyard. Needless to say, I no longer work there. It's from blasting the bottom of ships. The fallout travelled about a mile away (where I parked) and probably further.

Gally · Apr 21, 2015

It made for great pics Scott but it changed the colour of the car. Never seen anything like it.

SC03OTT · Apr 21, 2015

I think that's exactly what I was expecting it to look like. I've used iron x before but obviously on a much smaller scale.

Thanks again for sorting it. I'm enjoying the car fully again. Even touching the door handles is a joy haha!

I need to buy a half decent pressure washer for my sisters fellas birthday. Any reconmendations for sub £100?

imprezaworks · Apr 22, 2015

Cheers. Sort of need it for tomo lol.

Philip. · Apr 22, 2015

I got my Nilfisk one for about £70, it's brilliant.

Also, Homebase in Bromborough is closing down, they have up to 30% off everything.
There were plenty of Karchers left on Sunday dude.

_Tom · Apr 22, 2015

Got to use the 50 cal cover up. I'm dead impressed bearing in mind it was all by hand. Nothing else has looked as good on the badman mobil

Wow, that looks epic!

Cheers mate. Looks great for doing it by hand.

Addicted · Apr 22, 2015

Don't know if anyone around the West Mids fancies it, but Perfectly Cleaned have an event on Saturday with lots of discounts available too - in Pershore (by Worcester / J7 M5).

I'll be going, just to see if there's any bargains to pick up

Coby. · Apr 22, 2015

That looks great Tom, I need to try Cover Up

It was from your recommendation, so thanks! :smiley:

Coby. · Apr 22, 2015

I was supposed to be getting some but never turned up, Will get a full bottle ordered soon.... Will be a quick fix for the Gf's black car.

Rossi1989 · Apr 22, 2015

Will using a DA on a TVR be okay as they have fiberglass panels or would you just hand polish instead?

Be aware of heat build up, it won't dissipate like it does on a metal panel.

Rossi1989 · Apr 22, 2015

I might just do it by hand to be safe as it's not even my own car and I have 2 of them to do. Thanks for the info

Knuckles · Apr 22, 2015

I thought people would appreciate my colleagues truck.

The whole thing was like that. I couldn't believe it.
