Which quick detailer spray for in between waxes?

It would appear that (as per earlier in this thread) that SONAX Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer is receiving rave reviews....

Can anyone recommend a polishing pad I can use with a drill? I dont really want to buy a DA, but would like to polish some scratches out without the pain of doing it by hand.....

Day off today so 'decontaminated'. Will get some more pictures tonight but IronX & white paint...

Maccy · 14 Apr 2014 at 15:44

Need to get me some of this IronX as it seems to be getting good results.

Try Waxtec's fallout remover V2 if you can get it, I know their website was playing the other day. It's the only one I've found that doesn't smell like hell!

CarPro Trix is highly rated and is supposed to do Tar and Iron removal at the same time - no need for seperate products.

Is there much difference between SRP and autofinesse tripple?

NoNameNoNumber · 15 Apr 2014 at 19:32

Srp has slightly more cut than fillers where as triple has more fillers than cut.

Both are brilliant but IMO triple is better, so easy to use

Tripple gets such good results even just by hand, did my mates Molten Orange Fiesta ST the other day and it was stunning

It does need a coat of wax on top though to seal in all the goodness, it'll only last a matter of weeks otherwise.

Bigpig · 15 Apr 2014 at 19:50

Cheers I have DA polisher and megs 205 and 105 polish I think. I do have SRP and EGP and coll 476 wax bit of a brute to use but lasts ages.

Just fancy trying some new products lol. My paint work is in not to bad shape some very light swirls not enough to go full hog and get the DA out.

Fancy something quick and by hand. Was thinking of picking up Poorboys Black Hole Glaze&Nattys Blue Car Wax. My car is panther Black Fez

Yeah agreed, we topped it up with CG's Butterwet Wax + V7 sealant.

NoNameNoNumber · 15 Apr 2014 at 20:16

Not used either of those. Vics red has got to be one of my favourite waxes although I do have a nice pot of ADS obsidian wax to try

How would tripple compare to a glaze such as PB blackhole? Im really trying not to spend any money on polishing gear this year as I've just got too much stuff, but tripple does look pretty good!

Have a jug of warm water handy when applying 476, dip the applicator in and then a dab of wax. Don't leave it on the panel to cure for more than a minute or two.

Stick to Black Hole. Triple is good but it's not revolutionary.

I've just ordered myself some tripple for the weekend! Is it ok to buff it off with just a micro fibre cloth? I bought the micofibree applicator from their website also.

Yes, a deep pile is better but not essential.

shauncr91 · 15 Apr 2014 at 21:22

It doesn't really take any buffing off, you can take the excess off with a single pass using a mf cloth.

Which Nilfisk ?

Hi,

My 12 Year old Karcher K4.99M seems to have loss of pressure from lance. I have tried another hose and checked inside for any leaks. It is probably possible to repair but with time/effort and the cost of a new washer it would be more economical.

K4.99M has
Motor size: 1900 Watt Induction Motor
Pressure Bar: 130 Bar Max Pressure
Water Flow Rate: 400 LPH Flow
Weight (kg): 17

Does anyone have a Nilfisk with equivalent spec's or are the lower unit's just as good ?

Black Hole will give the best results via DA. Tripple would be better if applying by hand.

See if you can find a Nilfisk Centennial from Homebase or Argos. Good value for the amount of kit.
