Must stop spending money on making this car clean and smell nice

 

Big thank you to Juicy Detailing which I did not realise was Andrew from DTUK's wife (Juicy Jen's) business.

Even though I managed to c*ck up a simple paypal transaction they got my order out to me same week and with nice cheap delivery too.

Right which to try first?

First impressions on sniffing the bottles (not always smart ) are that they smell exactly like what you might expect, Chuy Bubble Gum is maybe a bit more challenging than Grape which smells just like the Grape Soda you get in the states. Remembering that Stripper Scent doesn't smell the same from the bottle as it does in the footwell with the aircon blowing over it I am reserving judgement.

The two hexlogic hand polishing pads are a lot firmer than I was expecting, should allow the user to get some real "passion behind the pad", both also feel like they will have cutting ability so will need to be careful with these also.

Stop Posting the pics of new cleaning products here or I'll blame you for loosing my house, car, wife, dog...   :rofl:

 

How much was this box mate...??

 

Just to let you know Sparkly...I'll have the prices for the Tyres you asked me for begining of Feb as they are currently selling the Winter Tyres and don't have any summer/track ones in stock.

 

As soon as I hear from them I'll let you have the prices...

2 days in trialling Bubblegum,

Although initially over potent (first hour or so) this also settles down to a nice smile and reminiscence inducing scent, air con on recirculate snorts up the fragrance into the system and means you get several days per single spray.

Not as exciting as the new downpipe I'm looking at, but currently loving Chemical Guys Air Fresheners

Today's photo,

hehehe more beading

This is looking great.

I still wash my car by hand, (not even a hose!!) but am really tempted to get a pressure washer and snow foam lance.

I see the link for the auto brite lance, but what pressure washer would you recommend?

Hi DH, as above I just run a little bottom of the range Karcher K2 Series which I got for £40.00 from the Karcher Outlet.

 

For me that is all you need

Awesome thanks

I have the same one DH and does the job...It's more than enough...

Agreed as well, a K2 level is more than adequate. I have the K2.311, again from the Outlet store.

 

Decent flow and pressure rate; if you need more to do your car, you're either doing it wrong, or you should be doing it more often! :P

15mm spacers for the rear sourced through Daveyboywonder on here

 

Car looked ace Mark! Getting the rears spaced out a touch will be spot on!

These just arrived to replace the slightly sorry looking old style centres on my Gigaro's, should look nice against the black wheels.  Just hope it doesn't look odd as I want to keep the bonnet and tailgate badges old school green ones.

 

Thanks to Sharkrider for supplying these and super speedy too.

Car looks awesome! Love the colour and attention to detail on the detailing! Nice job dude 

Received my Unofficial Waxybox from Tom (tmwarner) today, very excited about trying all these.  Succesful use of Swap Zone, Done!

 

Particularly chuffed that this swap came with a free gift

 

Thank Tom

Glad you're happy with it mate

No updates for a couple of weeks now, as out of the country with work.

Hate being away from the family so a little internet retail therapy will be in order.

Would be very nice to come back to see my little boy AND have a box from Bilstein waiting for me.

Temptation temptation.

looking forward to a review of the bilstien

Have put my grey dipped alloys and winter tyres up for sale, hope to fund my Bilstein dream

Any interest they are up in Brisky for sale section.

Showed my alloys some love ready for summer.  Full clean down, decon, clay, cleanse/polish, Rejex Alloy Sealant, Two Coats of Bouncers Looking Sweet Wheel Wax and then Croftgate Tyre Shine.  New Skoda centre caps applied.
 

 

Bloody hell....These are clean...

 

Looking Great Mark...!!!!

Thanks, the cat was watching the whole time i did that one.

 

Looks like she approved too

 

I was little sad to find under close scrutiny they had picked up a lot of swirls, but I guess this is probably a combo of normal wheel wear and tear, perhaps previous use of a very hard bristle wheel brush, could only see under strong light and probably mostly only visible because they are black. Think I'm being a bit OCD.

Yeah...She defo approved these...
