    OCW after 6 weeks

    While not wanting to get into the whole "beading signifies durability" debate, I thought these pics would be of interest. My Mum's car six weeks after I'd used PB spray and wipe and one coat of OCW. I asked my Mum if She'd put it through a car wash ( with wax spray ) She said no it hasn't been...

    Optimum and IP/FPII with 4" Spot Pads

    My willpower has collapsed again and I've ordered some SFX spot pads from Autopia :grinno: From what I've read the 4" pads develop more concentrated heat. If this is correct, the working times of the polish would be reduced? (in the case of OCP to about 3-4 hours :LOLOL ) I plan to do a...

    OCW on my Yaris T Sport

    Just thought I'd share a few pics of my Toyota. With one thing and another, it hadn't been washed/detailed in nearly four weeks, so I was wondering what contaminents had appeared. I was quite pleased that, after a wash with P21S, it was still smooth and fallout free. OCW to body/wheels...

    S-Type Jag to detail -Advice needed

    I am going to do my neighbour's mid metallic green S-Type Jaguar - just the paint, as he keeps the rest up together very well. It's only around three months old, but the regular automated car washes are beginning to take their toll! I have the following products and wondered what you guys would...

    2nd P.C. use - scratch work

    Tried my P.C. for a second time tonight (can't stop using it!) Had a SLIGHT scuff on my rear bumper from a car park "contact" tried ScratchX by hand months ago but looked just the same. After washing/claying tried FPII with a polishing pad (priming with a mist of water this time not Q.D.!)...

    Signature over Glanz

    Just a quick shot of the Yaris after two coats of Signature. Previously I'd put a coat of Glanz on and clayed a couple of weeks before. I think I made a mistake by not spot claying again, as some parts were a little "bitty" Other shots to come when I can sort them out! Peter

    More orange peel (**56K WARN**)

    I've tried to capture the orange peel on my wife's Ford Focus - believe me it looks so much worse in real life! Why do they let them out of the factory with such a poor finish? (rant Over):nixweiss :mad: Peter

    After a coat of Glanz **56k** maybe not

    A quick coat of Glanz was added to AIO (applied to the clayed car a week earlier) - it seemed to work quite well considering how easy it was to apply. Peter

    Thoughts on Claying

    I've always used a Q.D. to clay with, but after reading a few posts by other members I decided to try it during washing- I was amazed how much easier (IMO) it was! The Clay (Magic) did seem to get a bit soft but so did the tar etc , so it seemed to come off much easier.I used a fairly strong...

    Signature/Souveran/Wolfgang query

    As a new website in the U.K. is now stocking Pinnacle(thanks to the guys who highlighted it!) I am really tempted to "invest" in some.The things I'm unsure of are as follows: Why the vast price difference between souveran paste and liquid souveran? Where does Signature wax fit in the line up-...

    Meguiars Detailer Range

    Hi guys, I've just discovered we can get the Meguiars detailer range over here. We use Autoglym on the cars at work(Klasse on mine!) but I was wondering what anyone thought of these three products and how they compared to the professional range. Final detail( 1 gal/5gal) -same as Final...

    Best Q.D. for Klasse

    As a satisfied Klasse user I was wondering what the best Q.D. would be to use between applications. I have 1xAIO and 3xSG and don't have time to keep putting layers of SG on .Sonus High Gloss Acrylic Spritz seems ideal for the job, but I can't find anyone to supply to the U.K. I vaguely remember...
