    Cheers guys Already use bill hamber snow foam/wheel cleaner and that takes a lot of the grime away. Think the winter months is where the struggles will be. Jassy, that sticks looks like what I need. Will definitely help with the cleaning Mrs car as even at 6’+ I still struggle to reach the...

    Brushes and extension

    Hi guys Think old age is catching up with me and recently done my knee and shoulder in so struggling to clean the car. Any recommendations on brushes with extension or similar to help clean the lower and higher parts of the cars? Struggling to crouch or stretch too high at the moment and the...

    Stage 1 polish

    New car detail

    Always ask them not to wash and prep the paint. Found in the past that a lot of dealers, whether new or used car, slap on some shiny waxy crap on the car and it’s not great. Some feels almost oily and can be a pain to wash off.

    Best product

    I’ve had a shedload of white cars and the main thing I found is a frequent wash and maintenance is the best way to keep it looking good. A good wax/sealant is recommended as on white cars contaminants like tar and iron deposits shows up very well and is an eyesore, good wax/sealant will stop...

    Fusso rain drop

    I think more importantly how much do you use per application. Had aerosol stuff before and it runs out fairly quickly.

    Spray waxes/drying aid

    been using the megs spray and rinse stuff recently and it does appear to be better at repelling dirt than the turtle wax one. will give your method a try with the dry and shine and see if it makes a difference. I normally spray and blast the product around the body with pressure washer. Maybe...

    Incontinent Karcher K4 (and fixes)...

    another good solution to this problem is get a longer hose. I have the 10 or 12m hose so there’s less wiggling or tugging of the hose so less stress on these parts. With a longer hose my k4 is parked at edge of garage and doesn’t move as the hose is long enough to get around the car without...

    Incontinent Karcher K4 (and fixes)...

    My k2 did this after 7-8 years so junked it. my k4 lasted 6 months before it died. Replaced under warranty luckily. New one seems to be holding up. another common fault on the k4 is the pump occasionally pulsing whilst in use. Was told by the karsher folk that there were issues with certain...

    Show Us Your Reflection Shots

    One of my favourites next to the old nsx(pop up headlights of course). Never got round to getting one. Always said I would get one after my accord type r. Kids, old age, sitting in rush hour traffic meant more sensible cars came in the mix. worth a small fortune now for a straight one.

    Wheel Sealant

    I’ve had the same jar for years now. Will move on to something else when it’s finished. Saying that still got over half the jar left. I like it cause it’s easy on easy off and buff especially when I’m on my hands and knees getting the wheels cleaned/waxed. Keeps brake dust at bay and the wheels...

    It’s subsided cause they moved over to the sunnier side of Scotland and it’s just starting over here. gulls never bothered me around here cause they always hanging around the Macdonald’s and food places. I’m miles from any of them.
