About to order these detailing products...


Grundy

Recommended Posts

Your going to be busy for the Summer Grundy..or are you opening a drive in car wash..? ;)

:lol: Got the week off work, so hoping for a nice day.

 

NXT wash is garbage. Bought some to use to wash the vans at work, wish I'd never bothered.

 

Everything else looks good though, I use a lot of those products myself :)

Hmmm, I'm sure it's what I got downstairs :lol:

Yep, NXT is garbage.

 

Not a fan of those monster purple towels either, they are too thick and don't glide easy enough for me, if you use natural wax the extra resistance with the thick towel and natural wax can make it hard going and leave the fibres on your paint work. I've only tried the regular towels not the XL one but I've read that it doesn't dry very well, I expect thats what your going for with the XL version. They do feel nice though!

 

I'd also go for a wash mit rather than a sponge.

 

If your experimenting why not try waxybox? Can'y say I've ever got anything bad from them.

The AM glaze I had in my last box is now a staple, wouldn't even have heard of them if it wasn't for waxybox.

As Dan says, NXT is awful.

I use Envy Valenting's home brand stuff. It's excellent.

 

What is the best foam to use with the Karcher , I've used the Halffraud own brand and its not that good. :blush:

Yeah I've used up my 1st batch of Demon wash, and wasn't impressed, the reviews of the one I just got seem to be quite a thick foam :)

Heard a good few reviews about this from the forum. - Towel that is.

Already got a Wash Mit, but I find it at times heavy on the hand when it's soaking, so wanted to try the fibre sponge.

I use valet pro snow foam with my karcher, smells awesome, but what foam gun are you using? The karcher one I had was rubbs, if you're using that, it might not be the foam letting you down Will.

Wow. :surrender: That stuff is crazy, goes on like shaving foam. :scare::lol:

 

I'm using "Car Plan Demon" snow foam currently but now it just looks like water compared to that stuff. :lol:

I think bowel is the right word, cos they're fairly s*** :lol: mine is accumulating dust and waiting for me to wash the downstairs house windows.

 

I was much happier when I switched to the PA lance, nice brass fittings and user serviceable.

Following some favourable comments on his forum, I used the Poorboys Natural Look Dressing on my Zed interior for the first time recently.

 

It is a great product and has transformed the look of the dashboard and door interiors.

:lol: I was just about to say the VP snow foam is awful.

 

Personally, I'd swap that with the Bilt Hamber Autofoam.

 

I'd also swap out the NXT shampoo for... well, just about anything else frankly, Dodo Juice BoB is a good shout.

 

I'd swap the clay kit for Bilt Hamber clay too - no need for a separate lube as it works with water, it's a bigger bar and it's it's cheaper.

 

 

 

And a little tip for you, the drying towel will dry better when it's slightly damp than it will when it's dry.
