On the topic of new cars, ive got one coming in a few months, is it worth me telling the dealer not to touch it, i can then give it a 2 bucket wash, a coat of glaze and a hard wax on top.....think ive answered my own question lol.

Just ordered a bottle of CarPro PERL.
Not sure how i'm going to feel of applying product to interior plastics as I'm concerned it will feel greasy/tacky but It can always be put to use on the tyres/exterior trim.
Hey all,
So is the race glaze water filter the one to go for? All having good results?
So have you guys ordered directly from Race Glaze then? And do you use it just to rinse the car? Presumably no point in using it during snow foaming etc?
Avoid contact surfaces (gearstick, wheel) and you'll be fine. Its fine on that too as water based, but I still prefer not to.
Yes, I ordered direct from them.
No, not really, it's the final rinse that matters. So wash the car normally, then just hook up the filter when you rinse the car for the last time.
If you order direct from RG, you can also order a little mesh filter to stick out the outlet side, so if you use it with a pressure washer, you wont risk pulling the resin through. Only a quid, so worth tacking on to the order if you like to rinse with the PW.
However I think most people would do a final rinse with just an open hose anyway, but as per a few posts back, I can now do a proper touchless wash when the car isn't too dirty....snowfoam as usual, then hook the pressure washer into the Raceglaze and just blast off the foam, and leave it - done.
Seriously, they are awesome bits of kit. I regret not buying it earlier. Drying is always the most tedious part of car washing for me, and the bit where I always feel there's the most risk of swirling or marring the paintwork. But I live in a hard water area, and I can now just rinse the car and leave it to dry, even in direct sunlight, and there's no water spotting at all. It's ace.
Thank you for the advise - I would avoid those surfaces as not wanting to make them slippy although I imagine constant contact would hinder the durability of the finish anyway.
Still compiling a list of car cleaning products as I have recently got myself a new car and when time permits I want to give it a good going over inside and out.
I'm on the look out for a wheel cleaner - I know Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels is a favoured choice amongst these forums but I'm on the look out for a cheaper alternative (Because why not?)
Has anyone used Pro-Kleen Dragon's Blood Extreme Iron Contamination/Fall out Remover (5L Concentrated) for £23 - If so does it work as well or nearly as well as let's say BH - Auto Wheels and even though it claims to be safe on all wheel types has anybody used without issue on Diamond Cut wheels?
Failing that are there any other decent alternatives which are better value for money? I'm not expecting like for like cleaning power but something which will help shift some brake dust.
Hi all - any recommendations please on an interior cleaner (not dressing). My dad's car has some pale white marks on the door trim and around where the window switches are on the drivers door. Must be from a past owner or garage, with someone having something on their fingers. It's that kind of shape and size where they've grabbed the handle to close/open the door. If I remember on I'll grab a pic. I've tried just regular things like Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer and Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber care and even Auto Finesse Total Interior Cleaner. Nothing shifts it. I was looking at trying the 303 Multi Surface Cleaner next as I want to try something stronger but still safe - if that makes sense.
Cheers.
