Thanks for that  :happy2:

As for products - auto finesse are rated highly and are affordable. As are Meguiars, Poorboys and Autoglym. Polished Bliss also have lots of reviews and videos that will help you decide. If you are wanting to find out more, head to Detailing World....just have your wallet fully stocked!!!

What's a citrus pre Wash?
Do I do the de tar once I've cleaned the car?

Clay barring the car should be sufficient to remove tar unless there is some other magical way of doing it!!  :signLOL:

Personally I'd rather use Auto Finesse Oblitarate or Tardis to melt the tar first, then clay bar.

Ahh perfect. Polished bliss are doing a 3 for 2 atm on all auto finesse stuff so just bought a load!


PB is round the corner from me. The 3 for 2 has been great. Really rate AF gear. Oblitarate is brilliant. Never used Tardis but heard that's great too.

AF are actually not very far at all from me at all.....but cheaper to get the 3 for 2 offer and get it shipped from Scotland!! I bought a 5L of citrus power, 500ml obliterate and 500ml iron out. Summer when it arrives will be awesome.

Bought that auto finesse citrus pre wash, clay balm, ultra soft wash mitt and meguiars tyre gel. Used the citrus pre was today and it's brilliant stuff.
Gonna get the auto finesse illusion wax, polish ect when I've got a bit more money kicking around.

What does a glaze do and when do you do It?

Adds a deeper shine to the paint and you apply before waxing  :happy2:

WOW! And I get told I take it too seriously when I only have half that amount.

I'm guessing the kettle is for the tea breaks :P
