Detailing Product Reviews, The Complete Thread.

Anf - the best thing to use is "grease and wax remover" (used to be known as - Prepsol - the painters friend).

Supercheap sell the Septone brand in a spray can which is what I use.

However any Prepsol type product does the job to get rid of the marks left by running rich.

Only takes a minute or less. Spray on and wipe off.

Clear coat safe and all that stuff

Mad will have a look.

Came home today to find this in the mail. 3 x 6.5in Lake Country pads (you choose which ones you want). Not bad for $54 delivered!

Rating: almost everyone I know stands by these which is why I got them. Hopefully they are better then Menzerna pads I have.

lake country pads are good...and washing machine and dryer safe too...unlike the scholl pads that fall to pieces

CT14 is the bomb for removing soot stains from bumper

Black wow.

For exterior trims and rubber.

The pre wow gets rid of wax and stuff, annoying that the chunky bits block the spray bottle and you have to open the lid to use it.

The Black wow is very good, instructions say "use one sesame seed size drop" thats a tiny amount, but it goes a long way. Amazing.

Pre wow: 6/10 it works ok but the bottle sux.

Black wow: 9/10 its real good and a tiny bit does heaps.

I need buffing pads that dont sht themselves after 10 minutes.

Are the Lake Country pads velcro like the Menzerna ones?

Better than the Menzerna for strong cutting power...... and turd polishing:

Good for buffing sanding marks out, like after painting and sanding the orange peel out.

And..... A silicone squegee for drying after a wash, i dont have to wring out my chamois once when drying.

I use Menzerna polishes with a MINT PRO RO

Love the Meguiars next gen wash.

Waxes range from Meguiars Gold Class liquid. My wax of choice at the moment. (this on top of the Wolfgang sealant)

Meguiars Next gen 2.0. Its a good wax that has a medium level of filling capacity.

Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant 3.0 (this stuff lasts months) Easy to apply, easy to remove. Takes 12 hours to cure.

I have tried a whole range of dodo juice waxes, while being nice to use I would say their longevity was not something to praise. I also have a bottle of dodo juice car wash but it falls short to the Meguiars next gen wash.

So many things to list in my arsenal I think would just be overkill. So Ill just post up some pics.

This is with next gen 2.0 wax.

This is with Meguiars gold class applied over wolfgang deep gloss. (Overcast doesnt do it justice) I would say the colour is deeper though.

Here are 2 cars with Wolfgang deep gloss. (I do like using this sealant)

I did a full paint correction on this Silvia.

R35 GTR track/street car.

Contamination removed with Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller and a 100g clay bar. Personally love the new Gyeon Iron for ferrous metals now.

Three stage machine polish with Menz FG500, PF2500 and SF4000 with orange cutting pad and black finishing pad using a DAS6PRO. Isopropyl alcohol used to clean surface between compounding and polishing.

Paintwork sealed and stacked with Duragloss DG111 and Dodo Juice Purple Haze from memory (I use a few different sealants/wax and this GTR was done a while ago).
