Duff paint

[sharki786]

Excellent thanks. So I take it that using a clay bar has replaced hours of scrubbing with t-cut? Where can I buy snow foam? All I have around here is halfords and I don't recall seeing any. Where's the best place to shop online for these items without getting ripped off or inferior products? Thanks again for all the replies

where in bham do you live?
snowfoam: which pressure washer do you have? You need an attachment (bottle) for the pressure washer and then you need snow foam liquid (ph neutral)

Thanks for replies it's been excellent. Yeah all products out there are pretty bewildering. In answer to pressure washer I don't have one I was going to use one of those pump cylinder bottles from the garden centre or give it to the Albanians around at the pub   I'm not in an ideal spot given I'm in a second storey flat with limited parking an most of that is under trees   I'll give these recommended websites a try and see how I get on. Thanks again every one for your help.

Job done

^^ Thats okay if you drive a band spanker!!! But even at that your wash programme is stilted. And the job is only half done. And whats a seal and a wax?

I agree on the "band", sorry brand spanker point of view  and that the above is a very short rendition of what needs to be done, but that was kind of the point? Plain and simple gets the job done, doesn't it?

In response to your 'seal and wax' question;- in my experience a sealant has a greater longevity than a wax so I always seal the paint, including the wheels and the wax on top for the added protection. Wax breaks down loads quicker and having a sealant base to re-apply to makes this a little easier, again only in my opinion and experience.

What sealant would you recommend Ginge, if I was going to wax my car with AG HD Wax? I've got AG Extra Gloss Protection, would that do?

[Ginge 35Edition]

Yeah that would do. Personally I like the spray sealants as they are easy to apply, need to make sure your paint is is 100% free of any dirt and any other contaminants. Dodo juice supernatural range is worth a look and some of these act as a good top up treatment too.

Cheers will take a look, I'm due for some new washing products.
