I stock both the clean and coat and the de-ironizer product and use both in my detailing. The de-ironizer is pretty much the ONLY wheel cleaner that is garanteed to be non harmful to the more exotic wheels out there (apart from Meguiars Hot Rims). Its good for all wheel types but as with all wheel cleaners if in doubt try in a small inconspicuous area 1st. Clean and coat is not 100% safe but it great for a quick seal of your wheels after if you dont want to go down the lengths of a dedicated wheel product to seal the rims. Best wishes Tim

Thanks very much for the support.Sometimes you can feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall on this site I unfortunately dont have the time free in the day to sit online and pounce on every query The shop I fit around my day to day detailing. I have the de-ironizer in stock, do discount codes from time to time for you and you still dont buy and/or go elsewhere. Whats a guy have to do to get recommendations or support on the site?! Been a visible trader for nearly 4+ years now.......and rest.... https://www.envyvale...info.asp?id=239 Best wishes Tim

If I go cross country via Pulborough etc yeah

Is there anyone near me that does it, i'm in Crawley, Sussex, so anyone in Surrey/W. Sussex? I can think of someone.....

Many thanks +1 Cheers Jim Cheers Immy Thanks very much. Thinks thats everyone

Cheers Will Many thanks and yes I do recall the conversation Many thanks Yes, a fave of mine too but the corrections always seem to be carbon black!

Long overdue, thought I'd do a write up on this Carbon Black BMW M3 paint correction I've carried out this week! Hot off the hectic weekend at Waxstock, straight into a paint correction detail for me... 2nd use of the indoor facilities available to me in the Meon Valley so I can do the work regardless of the weather we've had this year. The victim before: Wheels washed with AS Smart wheels, envy brushes and Vikan new soft wheel brush. Door shuts etc pre soaked with AS G101, and agitated with brushes. Pressure washed clean. Body soaked with Bubbly Jubbly and allowed to dwell before being rinsed off at high pressure them washed via the TBM and a trusty Z sponge. Something new to try out so I added this to the paintwork. Sticky and clingy in nature. Looked quite runny until it hit the paintwork thats for sure. Sadly due to the colour of the car I didnt see the reaction but it left a smooth surface for claying. Clay was my all time fave, Dodo Gentle Grey. Not picking up too much this time. Paint thickness readings were pretty much as expected. A few low areas but nothing too scary. Onto the defects... Let battle commence. Polish Scholl S3 Gold, yellow Megs polishing pad on the flex rotary. Refined with Menzerna 85RE on 3m blue pad. Wiped down with Car Pro Eraser and checked with Brinkman and Sun gun. Unrefined as yet Start of day 2 Polishing took approx 13hrs to get the results you see above. Once the polishing was done it was time to de-dust and use the car pro eraser again to make sure the paint was squeaky clean and re-checked with the Sun gun. LSP for the BMW was Wolfs Chemicals Body Wrap. Applied as per instructions and buffed off. Tyres were dressed, exhausts polished, glass cleaned, hood hoovered (again!). Interior was hoovered and given a good cleaning with Dr Leather wipes. Plastics cleaned and dressed. Vanity mirrors and interior glass cleaned. And finally Thanks for looking Tim

Well the van is washed, stock sorted and just need to load it all!

^Hah, been waiting for that all weekend Mike!

I have PM'd Derek and Martin to explain my no show for this weekend. Apologies to all, but due to injuring myself on Thursday I cant make it. I know Mike, I took the pi$$ and now its your turn Derek if you can let me know how to pay my traders fee I'll gladly do so. Hope you all have a good weekend, the forecast is good. Tim ps I will do a Zedfest special offer in the Envy Valeting trader section to hopefully go someway make it up to you all.....

where were you last year Menorca!

Tsk! These people who put their names down then dont come eh.... There's always next year Mike

There'll be plenty of room there for you. Some will turn up Friday, some come along on the Saturday. Plenty of options for you!

All sounds excellent Derek, especially the dirt buggies:)

Dr Leather wipes leave an original look and will get rid of the shiny/slipperyness https://www.envyvaleting.com/products.asp?cat=30 Best wishes Tim

Thanks Jim! I'm not too far away, feel free to have a look at www.envyvaleting.co.uk or have a look at my work in the Envy Valeting traders section on this very forum. Best wishes Tim

I'll be there with Dr Leather

Contact Rollo at Orchard Car care, he's in your neck of the woods. For an example of prices I charge forum members on here I charge £180 f0r an inside and out detail using Swissvax/Zymol/Dodo products and its 6-8hrs work as detailed on my websites "what we can do" page. Best wishes Tim

Did you see the price for the full size 200ml pot then? Yeah 50ml is the smallest sorry. Not used Permanon no, even though they are just up the road from me.

Swissvax opaque wax and you can buy in in small sized pots.

Feel free to have a look at my eBay auction, foam lance and 10L Snow foam for £65 delivered. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MESE:IT I am not able to spend much time on the forums this time of year so I apologise for that. Too busy trying to make up time for all the crap weather we've had.

Its down to personal preferance really. Dodo do hard and soft waxes and there really is not much between them. Price wise/durability the Supernatural will cost a bit more and you'll get possibly an extra 1-2 months durability per application in my experience. I do stock the panel pots, the full size ones and also the hybrid version so if you do need anything please give me a shout. Cheers Tim
