It's €14.99 so would be worth a try.

I bought the clay mitt and used it on my car , think it done a good job , read somewhere to use it on the windows first and was amazed on the amount of crap it took off.

Am I the only one who is wondering what language was used in the last few posts?

Is there a new language out there, or am I a slow dry ar$e that can't understand the "new ways"? (I'm in my 30's so I'm not an old fart).







I'm leaning to a slow dry ar$e myself!

It's just that text speak/Facebook crap that we are laughing at is all, don't think for a second we talk like that around here

Geez I'm really stupid that I couldn't see that.


Then again, I don't use BookFace to see the highlight of Irish intellect.

Have a reversing camera on the car and the position of it means its open to spray on the motorway. What's the best coating you could use for plastic. Used hydro2 on it but it leaves streaks. Is there anything specifically for plastic?

Next item I must get is a clay bar just wondering whats the best thing to use as a lubricant when using it?

All I use for mine is a small bit of shampoo mixed with water in a pressure sprayer, cheap and does the job perfectly!

Curran,

Any idea on when you'll have the Wheel Wollies back in stock?

http://www.detailingshed.com/wheels-tyres/187-wheel-woolies.html

Looking to put in an order in the next couple of weeks.

Curran

It's on the list of priorities, but its not at the top!

However, I do have a spare set that I had set aside for myself....that I can fix you up with, give that I dont need them until I get my wheels refurbished. Just let me know when you are wanting to order, and I can put a set back in stock for you to order through the site!

Hi lads. I haven't been around in a while so this may have been covered. This morning I noticed mould starting to appear in the back of the car. It's on the panels, kids seats and back seats. I think one of the windows may have been left open a crack, I dont think it's a seal. Is there a product or method for removing it?

Thanks for your help

Mould is an organic material so after cleaning the panel (APC and hot water) and cloth materials (seat cleaner, eg Autoglym Interior Shampoo) I use Dettol anti-bacterial spray or wipes to kill the mould spores.

If you have a wet 'n dry vacuum, use that before the Dettol Anti-bacterial spray. Words to the wise, there are other anti-bacterial sprays/wipes on the market and what ever you use, try it first on an innocuous piece of interior trim (back of rear seat). Some contain bleach and don't use anything that had bleach/sodiun hypochloride.

Has anyone tried the new EZCarCare range? Just looking at the review Facebook page and all seems positive.

Curran

Better products out there.
They'll do a decent job, but for an extra euro or two per product you'd get superior performance and/or better economy.

I have loads of products I don't need anymore was just intrigued that they were so cheap did anyone actually try them.

Cleaning out the shed today and found some €2 shop wheel cleaner and shine! Lol... Oh how times have changed.

Decent Nitrile gloves? Anyone know where I could purchase some?

I've been using medicare gloves but they do tend to rip.

Quick question lads my car has swirl marks not bad but noticeable at night under street lighting.

Recently got a da from d+d in cork have menzerna fg400+sf400.

Just want to test on a small piece of the car which is an a4.

What should I start out with and what type of pad and setting on the polisher complete beginner so if you want you can use the
Kiss method of explaining it to me.

Keep
It
Simple

Thanks again lads

YbFocus

Start off with your last abrasive mix, polishing pad and the 4000 to see what happens after a pass.
Move more aggressive if needed.

You want to be as unaggressive as possible always!

I was the same in the last few weeks

If you go back a page or so you'll see what i managed on my first attempt, it's quite easy once you know what you are heading into.

I watched plenty of footage and read how to's etc.

Ammo NYC on youtube is fantastic i think, explains stuff really great!

With Audi paint or any German paint from my experience, it takes time to make any difference even with an orange hexlogic pad and FG400/FG500.
