Need some advice.
Just cleared out a tesco bag full of crap from my car (bad, i know) and theres a nice layer of scuzz from some spilt milkshake in the back of my car. Can i break out my mothers vax and just wet wash it with carpet shampoo etc or are there other, better options to rid of this nastiness?

In short, yes that will work great :) Just leave a window or 2 slightly open so the damp can dry out quicker :)

Polishes by either 3M, Menzerna (e.g. 3.02, 106FF and 85RD) or Meguiars (No.80 and 83) for swirl removal - there are many others these would just be some examples of the bigger brands. You'll always need to test a spot on your car before knowing the combination to use.

If you go down this path try a sample pack to start with. 100ml or 250ml packs may seem small, but trust me they will enough to get round the car at least once if not more as you perfect your skills. Also get a scrap panel to practice on first you want to make the mistakes on that rather than your pride and joy

Pads by either Meguiars or 3M for me. You would probably need a polishing pad and a finishing one - although if you have really soft paint maybe just the finishing. Likewise if you have hard paint then you may need a compounding pad followed by the finishing pad, using the polishing maybe yearly to remove any light swirls/marring you may pick up
 
Taken with the new lens, Trick? :)

Yeah you'll have to come to the next meet! April time is the word on the street
 
Actually, taken with the 50 1.8 i bought yesterday. The 17-70 is still getting a lot of use as well though! Count me in for the meet (assuming I'm not at work).
 
Where can i get a adapter for my Gilmour Foam Lance? They take the Hoselock connection but i want to attach it to my pressure washer, anyone know if these adapters are available and from where?
