Put in Samsung Galaxy Buds - turn on some AC/DC and then get to work. What pressure washer do you use, and what brands for wax, snowfoam etc? For me, depending on what i'm doing, it's Autoglyms Polar Blast snowfoam, then depending on what i want to do, either Autoglym Polar Wash shampoo, or Autobrite Shield (if i'm sealing) shampoo, then Autobrite Magiseal. Claybar i found the Autobrite kit (with lubricant) decent for the price, still looking for a good decontaminant as well as tar remover. Usually finish with either Autobrite Shield spray wax or a Carnauba wax, though i haven't found one that i'm 100% happy with either there. Haven't faffed around with cutting compounds, since the cars i had since i've gotten into were new, so really didn't need a machine polish/paintcorrection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 More or less stopped RC with the exception of my TRX4 and now getting pretty heavily into Reptiles. So I pretty much spend the time I would be RCing researching various things for the reptiles I have or may possibly get in the future (if I can find room for them) and just looking after the ones that I have. I won't post any pics here as I've posted plenty in the Show us your pet thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just works. I did read of Bilt Hamber, but there was something that i didn't like - just can't remember. I think the item i was looking at wasn't PH neutral, so it'd attack coatings. That garagetherapy decon shampoo sounds interesting though, as mentioned i don't have a decent decontaminator yet. Might give that a shot, so cheers for that. I've got the wheels coated with Fusso, so no need for dedicated wheel cleaner just yet - usually a rinse almost does it, rest is just normal shampoo plus wheel brush. FSE is a quick detailer, isn't it? I've probably got 10 drying towels from varying companies, plus buffing towels, interior towels, towel towels, .. it's ridiculous lol. And yeah, if my pressure washer was petrol i could easily fill a van and get going. Not that i want to, car washing itself isn't fun - washing my car is. Otherwise way too much work. 😄 Happy with the dryer? Quite interested actually, to get water out behind the mirrors/panel gaps, ruins waxing every time when there's water dropping out there. edit: lol didn't see at first - i got an AVA P55 too, superhappy with it. 😄 Edited March 25, 2023 by m4inbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Yeah in terms of drying, our front bumper is awful. Half an hour just to do that with a towel, so yeah.. I think i'll be ordering that blower. I always coat my cars, even if it's just the "non-professional" stuff like Autobrite Shield - it makes a big difference, lasts around 3 months. Am considering a professional ceramic coating at the moment, but the quotes i get tell me that i kind of really don't want that and should stick with the Autobrite Shield (which is a "ceramic shampoo", a sealer and spray on/buff wax). Works an absolute treat, haven't washed the car in three weeks now because the rain takes off all dirt (apart from plastic trims). At like £70 for, i'd guess around four washes (= a year), that's okay. Bit of elbow grease but hey, it's fun to see the car gleaming afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
