Now this was uber grim...
Many years ago, my colleague finished work to find this on his car
. It's like all the birds insides just gave way...

Mmmm delicious chocolate pudding

Really? I used it last night for just that.
Found it does the job well - spray on, pressure wash off.
According to the instructions though your supposed to spray on a cloth not directly onto the paintwork! You seeing any issues around your method with any damage at all yet?
Soldato
Nope, but I spray localised and with the micro fibre underneath so that it doesn’t drip.
And of course I don’t do it regularly
Edit: reason I do it this way is that tar remover works best when paint is dry, but you don’t want to be wiping a micro fibre on dirty paint

My paintwork is dry its just not working for me at all! Think I need another product which works differently.

do you think this would be possible ?
without using a hose or a bucket of water
Citrus pre wash (surfex HD for example which i would probably use) neat or diluted down into a spray bottle.
Then either wipe off or waterless wash (Car Pro H2O) then buff off
thoughts?

Just finished a 2 stage polish and CQUK application.
Anyone got any recommendations for a spray on sealant/tooper/detail spray to use periodically to boost the finish? I see SiRamik Lustrous Plus seems to be sweetheart of spray sealants at the moment - but out of stock everywhere at the moment. Anything else worth a go?

Thanks. CarPro Reload is a bit pants, I've not tried the new formulation but the original formula isn't great. Doesn't last very long and wasn't great to apply. May see if I can get a sample sized bottle of Reload 2.0 but we'll see. Will check out Liquid Crystal.
