[RobDon]

Oh go on ... you know you want to!

 

[182blue]

i got a shed full, and the conservatory is full too, its far to messy to take pictures of LOL, its gotta be cat proof too

 

[RobDon]

WOW - so something along the lines of the two pictures I put up earlier?

 

[182blue]

er possibly,i got 2 porter cables mines not quite as organised, im only in a mess because we have not long since moved

 

[182blue]

i just got 20 bottles of megs #21 LOL

 

[RobDon]

Megs #21 - synthetic sealant?

 

[182blue]

yeh, you ever tried it ?

 

[RobDon]

Nope, haven't used any Megs stuff for a while now. I'm using all Poorboy's and Clearkote just now (P21S too), although got some UPP, Wolfgang sealant and Pinnacle Souveran to try soon. Just ordered some spot pads and the new Sonus detailing spray which sounds amazing too.

1. Wash with CK shampoo, rinse and dry.
2. Vanilla Moose wax by PC.
3. Red Machine Glaze by PC.
4. Yellow Cream Moose wax by PC.
5. Carnuba Moose wax by PC.(...)

Rob and all, #1 - #5, --> you make all steps in turn or only "wash and ONE wax"? Did you made this steps now already this days? Any results to tell us?

Morever, I ordered now the pc and some towels from bettercarcare.com, but no Polishes etc. Do not overtax my bankaccount: do you think it is enough to order from seriousperformance.co.uk for my first polish:

- Shampoo
- Poorboy’s EX Sealant
- Poorboy’s Polish with 100% Carnauba
- and a Wax

???

 

[RobDon]

All steps in turn - wash and dry the car, then apply the first product, buff it, then move onto the next product and so on - thinly layer it.

Here's the latest products I'm going to try soon. I got the WG sealant and Pinnacle from Motorgeek - have to say Motorgeek are awesome, very fast delivery and they arrived with a free MF cloth and sponge applicator!

Have they been recomened then Rob? Just looking at getting some new stuff, shampoo and some other bits, anything i should try?

 

[RobDon]

Yep, all the serious detailing buffs appear to rave about UPP, Pinnacle Souveran and Wolfgang sealant for producing the deepest, wettest looking finish. Souveran and WGsealant especially on dark and black cars.

 

[Scotty_b]

Thats the thing, all the reviews and people i speak to have dark coluor cars, think i need to find someone who has a light coloured car or live with how ive got it

 

[RobDon]

I think they mean they work especially well on darker cars, but can be used on any colour.

Yup, another vote for Motorgeek.
Quick delivery, easy online transaction and a coupla freebies.
I'd use him again even if he hadn't lobbed in the extras, but they sure didn't hurt.

 

[Scotty_b]

swirls are sorted ish, used some scratch stuff on there, so theres like one swirl line on the whole wing now! Think it must have somthing to do with the super guard as it worked good around the areas it had come off!

I know you can use the polsihes etc on any colour, but most seem to be be to enhance the depth on dark paint so it could be a waste of time doing it on a lighter car, maybe best of doing the other coats better?

 

[RobDon]

I think also any swirls or marks show up far more on darker cars, so the effect will be enhanced - I doubt they'd be less effective on any other colour or car - they are not colour dependant. A dark car is obviously going to look deeper and wetter than a silver, yellow, white, etc. coloured car.

bought the poorboys and some cloths from motor geek

will see how we go

 

[RobDon]

I tried a single panel today with Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze and then 4-Star UPP - so far all I can say is WOW! Can't wait to do the entire car, pics then.

I am selling a bottle of Poorboy's Polish with carnuba and a tub of Natty's paste wax, very little has been used from either - I am switching to the new blue versions of both which suit the colour of my car better.

Both are superb products which produce stunning results, very easy on/off in direct sunlight etc..

£20 including P+P for the pair. They'll be in the for sale section soon so if you want them be quick.
