Yeah will come up much better when i give it a proper going over, but for now its good to see what it can do on its own

Just gave it a whirl on my own car, had just finished up and the heavens opened

how easy does the detailing spray come off and how well does it bead and last.

When you say come off you mean dry off? Just the same as any other you spray on, wipe over than use a cray side to buff up!

Beading cant comment on yet, the 911 is in the dry and has not rained since earlier and was just a light spit!

Got some new products from the brand earlier.

Some acid free wheel cleaner. Seen this stuff use in the flesh and you wouldnt believe what it did to the wheels on this 150k mile passat, they were gleaming after!

More detailing spray, running low

And finally the wax. Giving it a go tomorrow when i finally polish my dads car, it needs it and this stuff is going to get put to the test!

Heres the products i was using today!


IMG_2947 by Jack_Pearson, on Flickr



After a goood 5 min of soaking on the alloys with the acid free wheel cleaner, jet washed them off and they ended up looking like this fantastic stuff very very good! Only one wheel i had to agitate some dust but it came off with ease

After a washdown, clay and wax here's the end results....couldnt get a decent set under the sun as it was on/off rain

He wont use it to go to work, or if it rains!

Although when he does drive it he goes for fair old distances! oh and he had to drive back from marlow in essex to daventry in the snow when it was heavy this year! All the way up i cant say he was pleased!

How you getting on with these mate? still going strong?
Did you use his brand of snow foam or your own?
Do you need the snow foam thing for the shampoo?
How come you need to use the detail spray after the wax?

Detail spray is normally used after waxing to help remove any wax oils/ residue that you missed when buffing off and some companies insist on using it after waxing as it apparently gives that bit of extra gloss
