clarkie34 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Its not called Diamondbrite is it or something similar? If your getting it foc then fine but i would not pay for it,better of spending your money on a pro detailer as dealer prep is usually rubbish. Its not free had to pay extra 500 quid on top for them to do it Ouch,seriously keep your money and get a pro detailer to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 No chance Jay. All it is is over glorified sealant. Maybe polycharged if you are lucky. Better off getting a pro detailler to come and do the car once in a while. Wont stop swirls at all if you get your Albanians to do it, unless they use the 2 bucket method and proper wash mitts to wash it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I can only do the 1BM wash....cos there is only one of me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 A couple of great new entries. I'll expect more this week! Brummybird, my tip to you would be screw down the foam mixture. Not sure which lance you have but I always have the dial screwed in when I want foam, the more to the '-' the thicker the foam! Great effort though and superb results!

Envy Valeting Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Guys. Now Tim what would you recommend me buying to keep my pride and joy looking tip top? Hi Wayne, congratulations on the . Well deserved IMHO though all the entries were good from Brummy bird and the clay man, to the more seasoned old hands so to speak.What are you after and what do you want to achieve? I carry a LOT of Dodo Juice and have just placed an order for some more Blue Velvet wax (and will have that later this week)...could suit you but thats £30 odd out of your prize I also have meguiars, espuma, own branded items etc. Let me look back at your pics and see what you might need.... Edit: Had a look and you have no wheel wax...Rimwax any good to you? metal polish...want some proper stuff? Dodo Juice "Time to dry" maybe? decisions decisions...

No worries at all Rich, again what to suggest?Well the Dodo Juice Supernatural panel pots retail at £14.75 and are enough to do a car like a Z about 5-7 times if you are running short on wax and are a good taster of what good waxes they make (ask Stew about his Supernatural pot!!), throw in some foam applicators and a couple of microfibres and you're there...any good to you?
