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

8am today, no sun, it rinsed off ok and looked well once I dried it, just wasn't sure of the appearance when the polar seal went on. Really like using the snow foam lance though!

Did you pressure wash it off?


I’ve had a milky effect using a similar product in the following situations:


Concentration too high
Applied in sun
Didn’t rinse quickly enough




It is always worth rinsing your foam lance in between using different products.
 
Coming up for 4 years old. And so the Gtechniq Ceramic coating is almost as old.

Today I gave it a snowfoam with some BH Touchless, then a noodle mitt in a bucket of Autowash. Then a blast with some quick detailer, a recipe recommended by Pan The Organiser a few months ago with two Car Pro products (Reload and Ech2O) and it seems to have come out great.

To be fair, it doesn't usually need the QD either. Just fancied giving it a try.

That is one clean Ford.

The Ford is also clean.

I decided not to put a ceramic coating on that one though, as I have ceramic on my Caravelle (which is pictured here) and my A8 (where I used Gyeon MOHS instead of the Gtechniq this time). I wanted to keep something I could still have some fun with trying out different things, ha ha.

I had just polished the Ford the other week with Mezerna 3800, but it didn't really need it. I then topped that with Gyeon Q2 Wax. Will probably bang some of that QD on it on it's next wash. But I may sell that later in the year. Had that almost 6 years now, so maybe time for a change / another challenge.
 
Can anyone recomend me a Car Polisher? Few scratches on driver side door and bumper.

Watched few Youtube vids on how to use compound/polisher. What could possibly go wrong? :cry:

Don't want to be breaking the bank. Probably use it few times a year at most?
