I think they are just re-branded Karchers, so in that case they would accept Karcher fittings.

Makes perfect sense to me! Up to you what you buy, but if it was me, I'd go with Zaino. You'll struggle to find anything the beats it on both looks and longevity. SRP doesn't have much protection.

As said, have a search, this sort of thing has been covered hundreds of times before. Have a read and then ask if you have any more questions mate.

I had a similar problem with a pink-to-red Rav4 I did the other month. Machined to perfection but them after a wipeover with QD it went all streaky. I just had to keep going over with Final Finish, took 4 or 5 hits on some panels. I sealed with Zaino Z-2 and it's still going strong now.

Try leaving a damp MF over the area for a 5 mins or so. You could then try a bug and tar remover afterwards if they still refuse to move. Should do the trick.

Totally depends on the type of polish used eg compound is obviously going to remove more clearcoat, where as a finishing polish will remove only a few microns. I polish once a year every spring btw.

^^^ Which is what I said. Price depends on whether it is a pro or amatuer or friend etc. Some people may just want the cost of products where as a pro would be charging £20+ per hour.

Good work! How did you manage to finish the polish down? Buffer trails?

How does that work? Rinsing the car after washing with de-ionised water will stop water spots from rinsing, but it won't add any protection. And it would be extremely expensive to wash every week with DI water.

Explain? It doesn't abrade the surface or wear it down. It shears off contaminants.

Don't know about the SRP, worth a try? I can't see why it won't work though.

Not used the Jeffs so I can't comment, but I hope it would at lest match it! Also Rich, make sure you prep the surface well with either IPA or Z-AIO, and be wary of curing times in cooler weather even when using Z-FX.

I cut it 1:1 with distilled water in a seperate spray bottle. Try to get one that sprays really fine though, as you only need a very small amount. Just see what you think with regards to the anti-static properties and repelling dirt. My car seems alot less dusty after a few days when using...

Clay isn't abrasive, but I agree with the rest of the above.

One thing I do notice abouut Zaino is that it seems to repel dirt more than a carnuba meaning the car looks cleaner for longer. I would also say that it is slightly more anti-static than a 'nuba. I'd also recommend diluting the Z-8 down with water too Rich, as sometimes when using it neat in...

How would Scratch X remove stone chips?

If you aren't going to take decent care of the paintwork then it's pointless having a full detail done, as you will be back to square one in a matter of months with regards to paint condition. I think you'd be better spending alot less on a few basic products and then having a go at kepeing...

Quick Detailer. Like Meguiar's Last Touch or Clear Kote Quik Shine for example.

Best way is to avoid washing in direct sunlight and try to do it early morning or evening, and try not let water sit on the car for too long by frequently rinsing the car. Also try a spritz of QD on the panel before drying, and then a wipedown of the whole car with QD after. You could also...

i4detailing give 7.5%.

Not tried it so I wouldn't like to comment too much, but I would like to bet that it won't remove half the scratches that are on that video. Says it's non-abrasive too?

Wire wool and autosol.

I think it's something to do with the fact that the colour red absorbs more UV rays than any other colour, hence why you see red cars fading more than any other colour...something along those lines anyway.

The applicators linked are dual sided, so one side is soft foam for applying waxes and sealants etc, and the other side is a harder foam which is used for polishing.

Sounds like buffer trails....in which case they are permenant. The wax was probably just filling them hence when you washed it they came back.

No. the Dodo won't be that much better than the Collinte. And don't worry too much about how Dodo say that Orange crush wil look better on warm colours. It's more marketing than anything really. If I were you, I'd stick with the Collinites unless you really fancy a change.

Either...you will notice no difference in looks but the 476S is maybe slightly more durable. Up to you.

For a wax for silver I'd go with Collinites. Far far greater durability than P21S and no difference in looks (on silver anyway).
