@Janesy B and others

When applying Poorbooys blackhole by hand is it recommended to use a mild polishing pad or just a plain microfibre/pad will do?

I bought the G3 polish pad but I'm second guessing if that's needed or not.

G3 Pro 7167 G3 Professional Applicator Waffle Pads, Set of 2 https://amzn.eu/d/8j0C71p

Not sure, but i have those waffle pads and use the white one for polish (Autoglym, super resin polish)

How do I get these out my headlights ?

 

[ShiWarrior]

@ShiWarrior - headlamp restoration kit something like

Meguiars One Step Headlight Restoration Kit | Halfords UK

Shop the latest Meguiars One Step Headlight Restoration Kit is an easy way to restore clarity to your lights. at Halfords UK

www.halfords.com

Obviously if you already have similar products (very fine polishing pad or very fine grade sandpaper, polish and ideally some sort of UV resistant sealant) then use them

cheers

[ShiWarrior]

Needed a new Wheel Brush so decided to go for Autobrite’s - Large Flexible Wheel Brush.

It seems decent quality so will be interesting to see how it holds up over use.

Should make cleaning the inner barrel less of a chore!

i got one very similar
prepare for spray back into your face

I use a noodle mitt for the wheels. I don't see the need for a brush just for the wheel face.

Good point

Come to think of it

Noodle mitt Vs wheel brush

Well, I guess the brush is good for when the wheels get really bad as they are the lowest part of the car, and for brake dust. So really hard to shift stuff if you don't keep onto of the cleaning
