*** Car Wash / Valet / Detailing Thread ***

Did they not offer the Guard X as part of the deal ?

it is worth it, depends what you want, it protects the car from UV damage, and makes the paintwork more slick so less will stick to it and it gives it much more "pop" and looks fantastic !

easier to keep it clean too

They have but I have heard it's not worth it through Mercedes and best to have an independent carry out the work.
I'f I'm honest I don't know much about the Guard X and was only given some information from the sales team
 
yeah its best to go "elsewhere"
but i just wondered if they offered it to you for free, they could potentially pay you to get it done else where ?
 
Applied fabric roof restorer to the Boxster today.




It’s a very messy job. Well worth taping up edges as above, and keeping a spray bottle full of soapy water + microfibre to clean any spillages.
 
Anybody got any good recommendations for a wax that can be applied with a polisher? Turns out with 2 of my 3 cars being ceramic coated, I don't have much other use for my polisher, ha ha.

Yeah, I wasn't really planning on putting over the ceramic coatings. More just for the 3rd car really.

Menzerna - Power Lock Ultimate.

Perfect to be applied using a polisher :) Although it’s a Synthetic Sealant rather than a Wax (Figured your using the term Wax loosely)

Had this applied on a Golf I had, finish was sublime, very hydrophobic and quite durable.

Yeah, been using that for years. I do like it loads. Looks great and decent durability.
 
If it’s for the third car, you could try something like Rupes uno advanced.

It’s not really a polish, just a gloss enhancer, but you get a few months of protection.
 
Too cold to even think about washing the car or giving it a winter wash! Not had a chance to touch it since late Autumn even with all the right tools.
