Oh Im feelin the Detailing love today...

I guess when your own car is already as clean as it can be you need people to volunteer their dirty cars so you can bathe in the awesomeness of the products used

Your own car can NEVER be as clean as it can be.

[Rory]

Don't you think it's more rewarding to let it get really dirty, then clean it so there's a huge difference in the before/after?

[Carn]

Not sure how well the 2 trim products would work together TBH. Also worth mentioning is the kind of finish you are after on the plastics. Some products are really glossy where as the 303 provides a factory finish type of satin sheen, no amazing wetness and gloss but thats not my cup of tea anyways

[Rory]

Shine is nice but I'm more after durability. Thought it would be good to do the stuff that "restores" the plastic more and sinks in a bit, then cover with a more durable layer.

Aerospace mate, Aerospace!

[Carn]

What he said

[Liqui-Moly]

Carn could you send me a sample of Aerospace

I want to do a comparison...

Mike

[Rory]

You're biased, I think you should both send me some samples and I'll compare

[Liqui-Moly]

Hehe you cheapskate.

Drop me a PM. Maybe we can work something out.

Sure and sure, drop me pm's with your postal addresses and Ill try get some samples off this weekend....Along with Calypso's other goodies I've been meaning to send for some time

Anyone want copies of Wax-It magazine (Issue 1), I still have a few left over and can send them out while I'm at it ?

[Rory]

Ok I've ordered just about every product in this thread... I got myself the foam lance for the karcher, works MUCH better than the standard stuff, don't know why they don't include it in the kits...

[freerider]

hehe, thanks Rory, just got your order. I'm just waiting on the gallon of Maxi Suds, the shipment arrived this weekend but just needs to clear customs now.

Finally...There are some goodies in there I have been lusting for

[Liqui-Moly]

Thanks Rory. Order also recieved.

Remember... We now expect detailed reviews and pics of your car after you detail it

[Rory]

Yeah I sold my camera recently hey... (that's why my pics in here are cellphone pics). I'm planning on buying a DSLR but the budget keeps growing so the date I might get it gets moved back all the time

Thats to be expected with detailing

What SLR are you looking at btw ? If it's a Canon you after give me a shout for a quote, I can get them at VERY good prices (100% legit and above board, not grey or anything funny)

[Rory]

I was looking at Canon, now looking at Nikon though. You can pm some prices for 500D/40D/50D.

[Carn]

Will get some up to date prices for you during the course of the day tomorrow
