What Detailing Products Do People Use?

How much is that Cherry Glaze polish?

I got 1L SRP for £9.99 so can't complain lol gets a nice finish too bar the residue

I wanna learn how to machine polish in the summer, are there only certain compounds you can use or can I use my SRP with a proper polisher?

[cazzac2222]

^^ same Amjad, i wouldnt mind learning too, also wondering about the same think SRP wi a Random DA polisher and also what mops would i use on the polisher??

[Hou]

Ragz - Harly is currently £15 a tub on special but normally sell it at £17. For getting the white off we used some berry blast tyre gel on half a scuttle panel on a guy's corolla at the manchester meet, the other half he used his AG vinyl and trim stuff. He then wanted to throw his AG across the car park as it didn't work but the AB berry stuff did, easy sell!

Amjad - The cherry glaze is 9.95 for 500ml, but you barely use any, plus can use on all plastics.

I use a rotary polisher rather than a DA but DAs are better for beginners due to less chance of damage (but take twice as long).

You can use SRP on a polisher but again all it will do is fill the marks not actually correct them, depending on the condition of your paint, you would be be better with a very light abrasive. Then a decent fine polish and a wax.

The pads you would use would depend on what you are trying to do, but usually a light cut pad, a polishing pad and a finishing pad

i use the harly wax from ninja shine and fuck me it is quality stuff and really easy to use

my white paint never looked so sshiny

[Hou]

Glad you like dude, it is my favourite product to use and you barely use any!

What do you think to the tub size?

[ollie ryan]

i expected the tub to be half the size

its huge and will last me probably 8 months if not longer

to do my whole car uses hardly anything

i just need a proper application pad if you have aything like that?

[Hou]

Will have some in stock very soon dude, more like the wax will last couple years

Sadly it is rubbish for us in the way of repeat sales, but give it a couple of coats 24hrs apart and should last prob about 3-4 months before needing to reapply

[ollie ryan]

[okay nice one

the water just runs of that wax tho

havnt seen water beeding like it before its amazing and makes the car so much easier to was the next week

[Hou]

You can also use it on plastics and side and back windows!

[ollie ryan]

yeah been using it on my windows lol

not a fan of it on the black plastics tho as it turns them slightly white

[Hou]

Hmm thats strange, never had it do that on mine! Ill stop recommending it on plastic then and start pushing the very cherry

[ollie ryan]

i have only used it on the small black part at the bottom of the wingmirrors and its just didnt look great

have you got anything to remove compound off of car mouldings?

[Hou]

What sort of compound?

[ollie ryan]

its 3M compound for use with the elctric polishers

[ragz]

@hou

AG vinyl care is pure bollox at taking the residue off but on interior plastics i quite like it

do you have a shop or website also were are you located?

id like to take some very cherry, berry blast and possibly a tub of harly

[Hou]

Use the link in my sig dude and the discount code

The site is still in it's early stages, need better product pictures etc but is fully working

Just uploaded some pictures of us using the Very Cherry Acid Wheel Cleaner:

One filthy wheel:

We sprayed on the wheel cleaner that had been diluted 10-1:

We then rinsed off, after leaving to dwell on the wheel for about 3 minutes, not needing to agitate it with a brush or anything:

how safe is your products to use on fresh paint work?

have you tested this yet or not had the opurtinity?

[Hou]

Not tried on fresh paint as sadly don't know anyone with freshly painted but would assume if the painter has done their job properly all should be ok.

As for removing compound dude have you tried clay?

[ollie ryan]

okay dude

if you need someone to test on fresh paint work send some small testers my way and i will try them out for you as i am a painter

and i havnt tried clay yet so will give that ago over the weekend as its on my sister renault clio

[Hou]

Ok dude cheers, and clay should remove it easily as far as I can think

[Hou]

id like to take some very cherry, berry blast and possibly a tub of harly

Paint work has to harden off before any products can be use on it.... when i remember the exact time period il put it in this thread, but your paint needs to cure before you put ANY products on it/near it.

[Hou]

Hopefully going to be doing a foam lance GB soon

As for the whole fresh paint thing, as far as I understand you need to leave it a month before applying wax

Good list of products drew, a few we are going to be stocking in the near future. Have you tried harly wax?

[cazzac2222]

oooo ive always wanted a foam lance, ill be defo interested
