At least you know now, for future!

It's not a sweet shop. Would you expect sweets from Harvey Norman or Lifestyle or whatever? I think you may have mixed them up with another supplier.

I do now.;)
I didn't mix them up, Lovely man, pity about the closing.;)

Do ye think it is necessary deiron, detar and then clay or would claying alone remove the tar etc?

You should really, I have done very fine tar marks by clay couple times out of laziness but safe in knowledge car was up to date with my cleaning.

The risk was still there though tiny bits tar/general crud just being spread with clay surface and scaring paint.

I might be bankrupt but I'm not married at least
It'll take a lot for my car to get decently detailed!

At least I'll only bring myself down

I am going to order some ironx and tarx this week. Are these the best to go for? I have used them before and was happy with what they did, but if there are better value products there that do that same thing I would be happy to hear. As 500mls didn't last too long the last time.

I have a black Golf. When I got it I gave it a run with a DA and finishing pad and polish. I then applied some Simoniz car wax. It still comes up great with a quick wash after 15k km. 845 seems to get a lot of love on here, and wondering should I order this too? I think it will be easier applied which is great as the Simoniz nearly killed me. Will results be similar to the Simoniz wax?

Cheers

I'm chancing the 845 after reading about it on here and reading that it loves dark blue!
I'll have to see what all the fuss is about

x2 heard nothing but good reviews

Yeah i said i had to give it a go!
Only 23 euro too so won't break the bank

Yes.
Collinite 845 8is great stuff.
Apply very sparingly On bare p[repared paint for best results.
Place it in a dish of warm water for approx 15 minutes before using to make it as liquid as possible.

For better protection, apply 2 coats 24 hours apart.

Good news for myself the missus is after giving up the fags and is really making a go at it this time.

Don't want her going back on them so while I have time I want to try and get rid of the smell of smoke from her Peugeot so when she is driving the urge won't come back

Is a good steaming the best way to go lads or would be better paying someone with the proper kit to do it for me?
