Steve,

Sorry I haven't replied to your PM before but for some unknown reason I was locked out and had to retrieve my password. Trying to find out how to change it back to something more intelligible was a nightmare, worse than stealing money from the Bank of England!!

I bought a litre of Poseidon Advanced Wax Shampoo yesterday and some Bilberry non acid wheel wash, should be delivered today. I am going to spray the shampoo on to the car and at the same time, use a brush to wash it, I haven't got a mitten. I suppose I could get one from Halfords but I don't fancy having my hand in cold water all that time, not good for the arthritis!!

My next purchase will be some Poor Boy Black Glaze or something similar. The guy who sold me the shampoo and wheel cleaner has a product that does the same job, I think it was £16-00 something or other.

Cheers for now,

RonB

Ron

I ordered one of their mitts and an alloy wheel brush. All set to go. What's a good black glaze please? I have a black Yaris Toyota which has one ore two very minor scratches where I can see tiny white marking, so small and shallow I cannot put my finger nail in them, and one or two places where I can see little stone marks with very small white scratch marks. Steve recommended Poor Boys, something I cannot get locally, is there an alternative please?

You got me there lol. The guys at detailing world will help I'm just an amateur.

There's a lot of pro detailers over there. Lots of pics of really fancy cars they've cleaned Ferrari's , Bentley's etc. Those guys really know what they're doing.

OK Chippy, I have registered and am waiting for permission to post. I will see what the experts have to say.

Thanks again,

Just a quick up-date, the washer is going great guns and so is the snow foam. I purchased some Poseidon Super Wax and Wash, magic stuff, leaves the car looking the same as it was in the show room, well recommended.

Stay dry and keep smiling,

Ron

I use 1 to 2" of snow foam in the bottom and then fill with warm water but it's a bit of trial and error.
You will also need to adjust the dilution ratio on the black knob on the gun, I think from memory I turn mine to full and then back by a quarter of a revolution.

(Just changed to a Nikon D300 from a D90 and before that a D70 so definitely a Nikon fan :mrgreen: )

I went D80 to D300 as well!
