Sad day when your latest cleaning products are a fine fibreglass pen  and T Cut Magic Rust pen.  Time to tackle stone chips...

[samuir1974]

OCD Wax delivery..... very impressed with the presentation and packaging..... very OCD!!!

 

Looking forward to trying them...

I was extremely tempted by Nebula Ste! If you could do a wee review it would be very much appreciated! There's a lot of hype about both of these and it would be great to get your knowledgeable point of view on them.

I have now and, I was repairing some stone chips in bumper, and following smoothing down with swirl remover & polishing with Megs crystal I tried my brand new Prima Amiga then waxed over the top. In my view I feel the Prima Amigo to be thinner, harder to buff off and seems to not give the same shine as the Black hole. I will try it on some larger panels when my stone chips are finished but I still think I will favour the black hole's easy on, easy off way of doing things, the prima Amigo can not also be applied in direct sunlight like the Black hole can. So all in all yet to be converted.

Following my repairing of the stone chips, I have done the other panels with the Prima amiga, it does actually seem to give a good base to the wax and a very deep shine. Unfortunately after I had finished, it appears that some mortar has disloged from a chimney, slid down the house roof bounced off my car roof, putting a ding and a chip in the paint, chipped above the door glass, door rubber and chipped the passenger side window, Grrrrrr. Because the ding is on the roof and blending would have been a problem, a smart repair was not possible and I have had to have my whole roof re-sprayed along with the window surround, car has only 5800m on the clock. Up side is I have a perfect roof at present to apply my products to, down side is it cost me £500 all but a pint of beer and i have struggled to sleep waiting for it to be perfect again. So as soon as the weather is better again I will re apply the prima amigo, Poorboys Natty's paste wax and then do the whole car with smart polish pro's "Aquapel".

TBH Neil - it was you who put me onto this one; but i have been trying to scale back the wax collection.

 

Anyway - as you know - never one to resist a sale and 20% off was too good to be true such a great product.

 

Hopeing for better weather to test it...... hail, sleet and snow this morning!

A little feedback.

 

The fallout remover was superb on the wheels and calipers, cleaned them up nicely. I'll be testing it on the wife's white Corsa this week

 

The tyre dressing gave a nice glossy shine when applied as directed. Done Sunday morning but a 120 mile trip and a rainy Monday morning washed the dressing right off! Looking at the feedback given on Detailing world, lots of people were unhappy with the longevity so this'll be going back and I'll be returning to Megs Tyre Gel.

 

Not used the alloy cleaner but the feedback has been good on the web.

Appreciate you taking the time to write-up some feedback.

 

Tyre dressing is always a tricky one and Meg's Endurance Gel is one of the best... hard to beat!

I prefer the Megs Hot shine trigger spray https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-Hot-Shine-Trigger-Spray/dp/B000X0CBKO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490114041&sr=8-1&keywords=meguiars+hot+shine, but applied with the megs sponge applicator. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-Tyre-Dressing-Applicator-Pad/dp/B0006KZ6LW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1490114158&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=meguiars+tyre+sponge.

The spray is on special offer £6.99, £4.50 off on Amazon at the moment, only 3 left though at this price.

The balance has been restored.

I shape a pound shop sponge with a knife, makes for a great budget tyre shine applicator and saves £££.

[pshed]

Just had my Menzerna Endless Shine delivered....

 

not it used yet but will try it out soon....

[kidology]

Bought these from the far east. Very short pile. Not a real lambs wool obviously, cost just over a pound each. Very nice feel in the hand and looking forward to try out.

These are great for the money - great purchase.

 

Actually really good as a wheel mitt to get behind the spokes etc.

Use one of these with some Dooka Wheel Shampoo - highly recommended!

 

They wash pretty well too; but at the price... easy to bin after a couple of months and replace.

[kidology]

Yes cheap as chips, i was a bit surprised by the quality for price. Seen a detailing guy on utube raving about them, i only bought half a dozen wish i had got more.

Yes i have a dooka like mitt one dunk in the water and its full. Its a cracking wash pad, cost quite a bit but worth the money so no complaints. Some good stuff and bad in the far east but if they last

a month or so that is good value. And as you say use them for the wheels, i like the way they feel on the hand have like stitched part inside.
