What have you ordered? *Detailing*

[JD]

Got £100 cyc voucher, a pd8, and a digital camera for detailing!

All I need now is a sun gun and I've pretty much got everything (famous last words)

DIY sun gun FTW fella.

 

[James23]

My GF bought me this lot for christmas! (what a bird )
Quite disappointed with the buckets though tbh - was expecting them to have built in grit guards and have some AF branding on the buckets. The grit guards are the same I bought 2 for £11 for my cheapo £1 buckets lol.
I think the products are their interior kit but they all just came loose and not packaged/presented as a kit.

Yea definitely, although I would like to go one better and somehow build a fan into it so it won't melt like the DIY ones do. The 3m one has fans and stuff

 

[Gally]

My DIY one never melted. They are on for like 5 seconds at a time.

Quitty: can you give some feed back on the Poorboys white diamond? I've just ordered some for my GW200, just wondering what to expect from it, if you've already used it?

 

[Junior Bear]

Just placed a massive order on cyc


Applied a voucher code I got for Xmas

Proceeded to the checkout bla bla, then got a confirmation email.

Turns out the voucher wasnt applied, it's being sent to the wrong address and I earned no loyalty points!

Yet all the checkout pages looked fine.

Hope they reply to me soon

Indeed I can.

It's their version of the infamous black hole for us with lighter coloured cars as I'm sure you're well aware.

I was quite impressed with it to be honest, acted as a great filler after polishing and seemed to add impressive amounts of gloss. I wasn't expecting too much as I applied it by hand.

I used poorboys ex-p as an LSP, and the finish is still pretty good a couple of months on.

 

[hodgy21]

I bought black hole for my arctic blue, pretty sure that will do what I want it to do.

Also got some EX sealant with carnauba and natty's blue paste wax, would it be pointless putting the 2 on or just stick with the one.

 

[Cliotoby]

Gtech I1 500ml.

Based on DMH's recommendation I will be using it to coat my new trainers and my new jacket. I have also coated the rubber soles with C1.

i used it on all my mountain biking kit, been though the wash a few times this winter and its all still waterproof.

Bought it over a period of a couple of months, not all in one go - that would have been a basket worth hundreds!

It was a copy n paste job from my CYC history, sod typing that.

I bought black hole for my arctic blue, pretty sure that will do what I want it to do.

Also got some EX sealant with carnauba and natty's blue paste wax, would it be pointless putting the 2 on or just stick with the one.

IMO you'd be best off putting exp under the wax, there is point in it that the wax would add depth, gloss and extra protection.

Best results from exp are had when you allow it an hour or so to cure in my experience with it mate

 

[peanuthead]

A red mk3 golf door to practice my da skills on before I touch the clio. Already learnt one thing. You can't fit a golf door in a Clio

Should be coming today Hosepipe ban...?

 

[James28]

Beginning of last year many areas had hosepipe bans until summer because of two dry winters or something.
This was before it turned out to be the wettest year on record.
