Detailing chat

Hi I've been thinking it'd be nice to have a thread where simple questions that people don't want to create a thread for, could go. Or any chat related to detailing.

I've a question. If I've put a wax on, then a sealant. Then after a few weeks or w/e I'm thinking the shine isn't what it was. (After washing obviously) Can I apply wax on top of whatever sealant and wax is left from the first time, or do I have to remove the remaining sealant + wax first?

845 doesn't need to be on too long otherwise it's difficult to buff off by hand.

Yes that main idea polish then protect with 845 wax/sealant.

Not sure how you went about polish bit but with wax I go with Mr myagi basic explanation 'wax on, wax off'

In case you didn't see karate kid use applicator pad put wax on car in straight lines wait maybe 5-10 mins and gently buff of using suitable clean microfibre.

I'm just wondering could you use collinite 845 after Autoglym SRP as a kind of protector or would them two products go bad together / clash ? Or is that even when you would use 845 my understanding of it is it's used to protect the shine / paint work ?

Also is 845 difficult to put on or is it a similar procedure to SRP ?

So sold the Yaris that I got to do a good detail on.
The girlfriend is sad to see it go as it was never so clean.
The detail was so effective without it the car would not have sold.

It's designed to breakdown super glue so probably not. How much super glue is on the paint? Did you try and pick it off? I wouldn't say the bond between paint and superglue would be very good. Also are you sure that the superglue hasn't etched the paint already?

Cool, I did indeed, it's not budging though... Well it's on about 12 months at this stage...

Will that be harsh on the paintwork though?

You can get super glue remover in the same tubes super glue itself comes in. Normally available in newsagents and made by Loctite.

Ah I see it there now. Dunno how I didn't twig it immediately, to be honest. Stands out quite a bit. Haha. I think I was just in panic mode :P

Octavia looks fantastic, though. Never been down to Flawless, was gonna use that place as my normal weekly wash but never really did (don't be over that way too often os not sure if he'd even do 'normal' stuff or not).

Padraic does a bit of everything from regular wash through to valeting and machine polishing. His website is www.flawless.ie and will give you a list of services he provides. You should check it out.

What happened the Legacy?

I still have it. It's in one of the reflections. Just the Octavia is my daily from now on.

Sent my car into Flawless Detailing in Drogheda yesterday to have a single stage machine polish done to try and lessen a scuff on the front passenger wing. Delighted with how it turned out. Scuff is maybe 95% sorted. Next on the list is to get my wheels off and give them a proper going over both inside and out. I'll upload a couple of pics when I figure it out.

Apologies about the size of the pics, can't seem to get them resized right.

or invest in a steam cleaner, handy yoke to have for car & house

There is a handheld steam cleaner for sale in Lidl next Monday for €20 for anyone looking for one. I have one from a few years ago. I've only used it on cleaning under the bonnet which it does well. Not sure how it would do on interiors.

Anyone used CG silk shine on their interior? Im looking for something that leaves a good gloss as opposed to a matt finish. I'd previously been using a gallon worth of pink sheen I picked up many moons ago which did the trick but smelled rank.

Neer used that particular product, but you'd want to be careful with glossy dashboards and such.

A friend of mine bought a van a while back and it came from the dealer with a full valet, and the dashboard was gleaming. And I mean gleaming! Literally needed to wear sunglasses. It was like a mirror when the sun hit it.

I've only ever used Meguiars Interior Detailer myself, and find it fantastic at cleaning things to a nice matt finish.

But like everything else - It's all down to personal preference

Never thought of WD40, I'll try that out first and then the petrol if it doesnt work. I'll report back tomorrow morning

Use dental floss to remove the thick layer and then spirits to remove the rest

As above, Baking soda is supposed to be a good odor eater but I would try shampoo the seat first, I would also try this > http://valetpro.eu/enzyme-odour-eater.html

Not sure where you would get it here but I am sure I got mine from Detailing shed.
I used it and it does kill smells.

Piddle. Tried to get the rug doctor. But had no id with me
