Looks unused. Probably wise, it looks far too complicated for you.

Looks super smooth. I gotta get me one of those this year. I've washed and polished my clio more than any other car I've owned, it's definitely getting to me.

Then there are the likes of carpro reload or gtechniq C2 but these can sometimes require a bit more attention when applying.

Guessing you've got a pressure washer? If so take a look at gyeon wetcoat or carpro Hydr02 or Hydr02 lite. Wash and rinse the car as normal, spray these products over a wet car and pressure rinse off immediately and fully. Instant protection.

Finally (new baby + other things going on) got my hose sorted so I can use my pressure washer outside the front of my house. Got some snow foam (Autobrite IIRC) and used it a couple of times. The pressure washer and also snow foam has made quite a large difference to the washing process so I thought I'd finally get some gyeon wetcoat and give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation btw. I haven't got the time to spend on the car due to having two kids under 5 and other life commitments, nor am I an expert. However the wetcoat is exactly what I was looking for and I was seriously impressed by it. Yeah I'll also have to invest in some some other polish/sealant when my Blackhole and the cheap wax I have runs out but as a top up and a quick fix this is ideal.

Anyone ever worked on an Evoque. Missus, mates, mum has been to the Polish wash and has scratches all over so needs a mild cut and polish.

Is the Paint soft or fairly hard if anyone has worked on me before? Black if it makes a difference

Having my wheels refurbished next week, what do I need to prep and protect them?

@ADS_V6

 

[RSaddict]

Not sure you need to prep them, but once they are done I would recommend Gtechniq C5. It is great stuff!

Hi, it is quite expensive initially but one bottle will do at least 3 sets of wheels and it's supposed to last a year when it's on!

I don't have 3 sets of wheels. Thanks for the recommendation though pal.

No but my thought process was it would last 3years!

I've only had 1 car longer than 2 years, and technically that was the wife's car as I didn't have one to call my own. This one is different though. Hopefully. Unless I see a nice ly for sale close.

So after a year and a half, my Wookies fist wash mitt has bit the dust and literally seperated from the inner part. Question is do I replace like for like or replace with something like a microfibre madness/gtechniq wm2 or gyeon smoothie
