i have a long ish one to get to the insides thens a small autoglym one for working the corners,

much easier to take the wheel off to clean it!

could do with a wheel sealant though...


Does anyone know of a single website that sells Tardis and Bilberry as i dont want to pay double postage  :ashamed:

Keith from washshop on here mate, and there is a forum discount  :happy2:

Yeah I bought the same ones except I got 5 for the price.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Envy brushes, good choice  :happy2:

I`ve been getting them off Tim for a while having previously used the original Swissvax brushes but I prefer the plastic handle to the wooden Swissvax  handle, hence my choice of Envy brushes  :smiley:

Just something to note when using a tar remover such as Tardis and clay afterwards, is make sure you wash over the areas treated with the tar remover before putting you clay near it, as it will dissolve that too ;)

But all the advise so far has been bang on, use a tar remover first then clay after.

Goes off to find

Tardis
Detailing brushes
Bilberry

From one seller... maybe

I'd wash the tardis off with the ph neutral snow foam (2 bucket method), that ok?

Rinsing should be enough TBH. I'd refrain from washing until after the claying session.

Personally id rinse and wash the areas down with some shampoo, but there's no hard and fast rule to detailing  :happy2:

Good advice IMO, aggressive solvents in tardis I believe James?

Yes and whilst most of it can easily be removed by just rinsing with water, for what it takes a little go over with shampoo is well worth while IMO, you would be wishing you did do it if you clayed with some still on the paint you would end up with sticky nasty clay.

I used to do 500ml bottles of tardis but its frowned upon. TBH autoglym stuff is good as well needs a bit longer dwell time thought to work its wonder.
if you cant get tardis give me a shout and I will get something sorted.
