Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    So I got a New (Old) car, ordered a bunch of stuff from reflect and gave the car a decent wash today. I think I got the basics rights with a citrus prewash, two bucket method with a mitt and micro fibre cloth for drying following by Carnuba wax. And yes a dedicated wheel brush.
    Car looks much better but a few issues.

    1) I discovered a lot of small pit marks at the front and a few on the bumper. On a black car these are very visible when the light shines just so. Most of these are very shallow and could be touched up easy - any suggestions?
    2) Using a trigger bottle for the citrus pre-wash was painful! I had an old Bosch pressure washer which is kaput. Thinking of getting a new one and a snow lance. Is Karcher K2 an ok choice? Also any suggestions on a hose adapter and water filter? I have a very long garden hose that connects to mains pressure. I tried connecting the hose to the Bosch inlet but hose is too small. What kind of adapter am I looking for.
    3) Is a claybar and Korrisol/Red Ox really important for a beginner?
