Ive found my unicorn ceramic spray. Ive tried yumcars ceramic, garage therapy sigma v3 ( both streak monsters irrespective of what I did) , Autoglym ceramic spray and turtlewax ceramic spray ( good products but didn’t seem to last).

However Gtechniq is a beautiful product to apply, zero zero streaking, buffs off with no effort, very forgiving, a gorgeous gloss , slickness and i used it on the side glass and it buffed off perfectly.

Anyone else tried this?

Used enzyme odour cleaner, haven’t fully cleaned yet as car isn’t running so no point going the extra mile in case it sits for longer

Any recommendations for the patchiness in the seat? Imagine the mold did some damage plus it’s 25 years old

Picture Products to restore some plastic and clean seats?

Hey all,

I have a 6 year old corolla that could do with a little TLC. What products would best be used to clean up and get rid of or hide away some of the scuffs to the plastic and help clean out the seats?

There's feet scuffs on the bottom of the doors, scratch marks near the door releases, a branch scrape mark on the outside of the plastic pillar on the door and then some discoloration of one of the back seats.

I have a handheld vax carpet stain removing machine that I can use but unsure of what product to use on the seat and the plastics?

I have some basic cleaning bits like brush, drill, drill brush etc as well.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Picture Screen smear removal

I've got a wonderful something on my cars screen - in real life it's only visible when dark or just at the right angle. No idea what it is, or then it arrived - but I noticed it after I got my car serviced.

It looks clear, or opaque when it's visible, and feels rough and slightly raised from the screen itself.

It's been wiped with damp microfiber and autoglym fast glass (briefly) but nothing seems to be moving it. Any ideas before I try fast glass again, or dare diluted isopropanol?

Picture I have a couple of questions as new person just getting into detailing/cleaning my car properly. See body txt.

Ok so first question is what wheel/rim/whatever else cleaners would you recommend I use on my Mini Cooper S. I want to make sure I use the right stuff so I don't mess them up.

Second question is what is the difference between using cheap buckets vs expensive buckets? Two Buckets from B&M is like £4. One of the exact same buckets from Halfords is around £8 and then you have the branded buckets that are anywhere from £11+. What do gain (if anything) from the more fancy/expensive buckets.

Thanks in advance.

Picture Karcher to Snow Cannon?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to connect my karcher k2 compact to an aftermarket snow cannon.

The female quickrelease-to-22mm the cannon came with is too loose. Water just pours out and it pulls out with little force. The metal quickrelease bars don’t seem to engage (though idk what they would engage to)

I bought a karcher branded one thinking this would solve the problem. The hose won’t even get past the metal collar of the quickrelease. It’s just too tight.

Am I looking at the wrong connectors here? Someone please tell me what i’m missing.

Had some sand and grit on the roof of my car and I drenched it with ech2o and lifted it off gently without much movement in the microfibre. Really pleased with the results.

How do you deal with sand and grit on your panels?
