    Pre spray the car and wheels. Use you brushes to then clean the wheels followed by pressure washing the entire car at the petrol station. Then drive back to your flat and have fun carrying all the buckets outside and finish it properly. If you've gone to the hassle and you'll expense of...

    Very nice wax to use, easy on and off. Beads and sheets well, as durable as bilt hamber double speed wax but a better finish. What is it you want out of the wax? I've just gone back to using some old favourites, zymol carbon and britemax vantage. Won't last as long but wow they're such nice...

    Try a new waffle weave MF before a new glass cleaner. I've used AG and megs glass cleaners around the house to use them up and not find them smear. If you do change give carpro eraser instead.

    Britemax do a sealant and liquid wax, that work well topped with their own vantage paste wax.

    A clay mitt will not hold onto the contaminants it's removed from your paint. Put it into a bucket of soapy water and use your hand to clean the surface and it's ready for the next panel. On my own cars I won't use a mitt or cloth and only traditional fine clay is more than enough as they well...

    Shampoo (car) recommendation.

    Bouncers slick Mick is pretty decent. And with done and dusted QD or bead juice spray sealant it's a nice little collection.

    If it's light sap then a strong pre wash and heavy concentrate of shampoo would suffice on a protected car. If it's bad and well stuck on, wash normally then use a tar remover. Will make short work of tree sap, aphids droppings and other organic fallout and debris and not just far spots.

    G1 can cause juddering if not applied and removed properly. Problem is you don't know you've applied it wrong till it's too late. It performs extremely well and can't be beaten in that sense. For ease of use and application. Something like angelwax h2go or powermaxed rainoff are simple spray...

    Best sub-£50 wax for 2017?

    Carbon is still a great wax. Britemax vantage is a great outsider. Waxaddict vitreo is proving to be a regular wax of choice for me.

    Just use a favourite spray bottle, but one that gives a fine mist is better as you really don't need to use much product for it to work. More product doesn't mean better performance. The pump sprayers are great for applying pre wash and snow foams etc but they get through a lot of product very...

    For stubborn interior plastics stains try an all purpose cleaner which ever you have to hand and one of the magic eraser white sponges. The gentle abrasive of the sponge helps a lot. Carpro inside is a very good interior cleaner. With regards to the wheels. If it is really bad then the silver...

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    The likes of gtechniq c2, carpro reload and gyeon cure are designed to be an immediate topper for ceramic coatings to protect them for the first couple of days from water spotting whilst they cure and harden properly. It just say happens that they work very well as a easy to use spray sealant.

    @Pearce For all types i tend to favour carpro. Bouncers and britemax are also very good with all products and won't find a bad one.

    I still use the autofinesse deluxe and britemax red uber towels quite a lot, but the twisted towels are used just as much and equally as good but being so thin and lightweight they're a little easier to deal with and definitely easier to dry out after

    what QD with Essence plus?

    Reload would be preferable. Ive diluted it 1:1 to 1:3 with distilled water and it works well. 1:4 and onwards was a bit to weak imo There's also the carpro echo that can be used as a QD with very good dilution ratios. QD's are all very different. In theory you could use any over essence plus...

    Do the wheels now or at least a week before fitting the tyres. Much easier to deal with with no tyres fitted. And as for oils, wheel soap etc from fitting the tyres it'll just wipe off when you get them home. As for the weights, they'll stick to anything, even when coated with dlux, c5 and...

    Bouncers bead juice is a bit more versatile and user friendly than the likes of hydro2 and wetcoat. It's not quite so important to rinse immediately. Been on my car a couple of weeks now and still beading strong despite the snow and gritted roads Works out more costly though compared to...

    Best Snow foam lance/foam?

    I'd recommend you avoid autobrite personally. Thread on the lance is smaller than most generic bottles if you ever want to use a second bottle The autobrite foams are generally very thick, with rubbish cleaning ability.
