    S100 over Blitz on red

    This has probably been done before and will probably be nothing new for most of you, but tried this today and thought I would share my experience anyway :) Put on some Blitz over the Accord a few days ago and Qs'ed. The look was amazing. Blitz realy made the colour come out (is that the term...

    Clearkote QS - my thoughts...

    Only just managed to try this stuff today! Thanks to Alex Creasy www.seriousperformance.co.uk for his prompt and well packaged delivery :bow :xyxthumbs My initial thoughts of the bottle were that it is of good quality and shouldnt fall apart anytime soon. Washed my car Sunday but...

    Any reason not to use QS on tyres?

    I was reading the 'Poorboys Spray n Wipe on tyres' thread and I am thinking - can you use Clearkote QS on tyres, and if not - why? I am hopefully getting some this weekend and will post my review :) If it can be used on the bodywork, windows and plastic, why not tyres as well? Btw -...

    Detailing a car this wknd, need advice!

    I promised to detail my mother's Citroen AX GTi this weekend. It hasnt been properly cleaned or polished etc in a while and is parked outside 24/7 :eek: My question is this - the car has unpainted plastic bumpers that are annoyingly 'textured' and out of these products - which should I...

    Hand-detailing the engine bay.

    Tomorrow I want to spend a little time cleaning the engine bay with the slow method of doing everything by hand. My plan is to degrease all the painted bits, rubber hoses, plastic parts, and the engine top with some Autoglym Tar Remover. Once I have done this (using a cloth, toothbrushes...

    Good wheel cleaning tools in the UK.

    I saw exactly what I wanted at the pound-shop today in town :rolleyes: :p :D Pretty similar to what Brad B (or David B) uses. Its a long plastic shaft with a nice plastic handle, with a head consisting of lots of little foam strips (looks like the top of a palm tree, for comparison :p )...

    Forgotten how much I loved this stuff...

    Blitz wax! Decided that, with my time off work, and my car in the garage, I may as well hit out the Blitz wax. I've been layering Autoglym Extra Gloss these past weeks (3 layers) with excellent results (very shiny). Applied the Blitz with a yellow Megs pad and it was easy on mostly...

    Dr Wack (P21S...) Speed Shampoo

    I did 2 cars today, mine with the Dr Wack stuff and the other with Meguiars GC. I found that the Wack shampoo was definately more sudsy (with 2 cap fulls). In terms of slickness I found them to be pretty similar, with Wack shampoo perhaps being a little slicker. The cleaning ability of...

    This is aimed mainly at Rich but others may be interested to know: I emailed this company (that sells the One Grand products) last week asking them if they stock the show-off spray, and if not whether they could get hold of it (seeing as they are the UK distributor for One Grand!)...
