I'm using a Henry together with a £6 attachment kit from eBay. Very robust and good for other dusty jobs which would kill a Dyson

Thanks for the replies. Having trawled around the internet, I'm tempted to give Detailed Online Surreal a go. Seems to offer what I'm looking for at a reasonable price

Thanks for the replies. I had a quick look around the internet and there are some reports that the double speed wax can haze even after buffing. Is this something you have found ?

Having just tried some Bouncers Done & Dusted Si left me very impressed. However I wondered if there are any waxes out there that mimic the D&D i.e really glossy, very slick finish, reasonably long lasting and won't break the bank.

That's a good suggestion, thanks

Dr Leather dye block and their cleaning wipes to maintain. Most modern leather is coated so a conditioner is not required. If you use a conditioner it justs sits on top of the coating attracting dirt and gives the appearance of looking shiny

Looking for some input to help me decide which of these polishers to get. If my research is correct the plus is a smoother machine with a bigger orbit, which makes it easier to correct larger areas faster. However it won't take smaller backing plates so can't do smaller parts of the car. 1. If anyone can please confirm my understanding that would be great 2.For any plus owners. What parts of a car would I be unable to correct using the 5.5 plate All advice appreciated

This is something I've been mulling over for a while but would appreciate some thoughts from the collective wisdom on here. Is there much difference in appearance between the various waxes / sealants you have used. Its clear there are significant differences in ease of application and longevity but what about looks ? If say one half of a bonnet was waxed with product A could you tell the difference between the other side where wax B was used. This then leads on to if you can, why are qd's / spray sealants used by so many as potentially the finish is that of the last product applied rather than the wax or sealant used ? I may be opening a can of worms but you often see posts with statements such as nice wet look, glassy etc and wondered if people were really seeing a difference or as I have a suspicion the real difference lays the polishing beneath ?

Not tempted by the "individual" look then ?................ https://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/tips-and-tricks-to-enhance-your-carpet-art/

You might want to try EGP as a wheel sealant, worked pretty well for me. I think the reason it's fallen out of favour is the long cure time...... although this could be considered a bonus as it gives you an excuse for a cuppa and a kit kat

I guess somewhere like your local sign maker might be able to offer that, although not certain of the cost for a one off

A bit early for the Christmas list I know but here's something for the detailer with everything https://www.kerbappealdetailing.com/online-store/Detailing-Carpet-Stencils-Popular-vehicle-brands-IN-STOCK-NOW-p111442104 Please note I have no connection with the retailer and haven't bought from them. Just thought I'd share the idea

Thanks to everyone for sharing. I forgot to add some of my go to products Bilt Hamber Shampoo Autoglym Glass Polish Sonax BSD Angelwax tyre dressing

Going back through the forum there is a wealth of information where a number of users have generously provided detailed reviews and products over time. My question is which products are people still using and going back to having tested a variety or is it a case of trying new things hoping they will be better. From a personal perspective I'm trying to reduce my stash and use products that work for me. I have a hunch that there are relatively few game changing products out there and the majority offer a very small gain over existing products or the law of diminishing returns I'd be interested in people's thoughts on this

Thanks for the tip

Many thanks

Thanks for this. I have read some reports that the mitt causes marring although this could be down to the user. Have you had any issues like this?

Just wondered if anyone uses a clay cloth rather than a bar and could offer any comments or advice please

I didn't think it was the sort of car to have wide appeal to modders, which might explain why my search wasn't finding much BTW are your LEDs white or coloured !!!!

An unusual request please. I have a colleague who is seriously considering a Superb estate. For a bit of fun I was hoping to share some pics of any heavily customised or pimped Superb estates. My Google search hasn't uncovered anything so help required please ....... the least tasteful the better !!!!

I used to have problems with a smeary screen and I managed to get rid of it after I received the following advice 1. Get a dedicated glass cleaning cloth e.g. a fishscale type microfibre. These have more bite than a traditional microfiber and don't leave any fibres behind. I used to use kitchen towel until it was explained the often have chemicals to aid absorbtion which can smear on glass. 2. Use a glass polish in the first instance e.g Autoglym glass Polish to get rid of whatever is on your screen. These generally have a better cleaning ability than a glass cleaner. Subsequent cleaning can then be done with a normal glass cleaner. 3. When removing the residue only wipe in one direction. If you go backwards and forwards there is the risk of pushing the dirt around back over the area you have just cleaned. This works for me and there's nothing too expensive to buy. You may also,want to have a look at this

I also like the Adams wash mitt. Being synthetic a little easier to care for than the true lambswool ones. I got a WoWo wheel wash mitt a few months back when it was on a cheap offer and that's worn really well

Haven't used it but have you considered something like Bilt Hamber Finis wax. Much much cheaper and long lasting

Thanks for that I prefer a satin look. Always great to have real world advice

What sort to finish does slick give to the tyres please
