Detailing Thread

Yeah, although if you want to make your life even easier, give it a thorough clean with a pure shampoo, tar remover and fallout remover, apply your C2 Liquid Serum and then use Purple Velvet thereafter. Should make keeping the car clean EASY.

A bit of effort to get it to that place though

Autobrite Direct had an Easter sale so I've ordered a few things.

I've got a drying towel coming in. These things are ace for the motorbike. I recommend them to anyone.

I've also ordered a small size of purple velvet shampoo and some Hellshine glass and visor sealant with a small applicator.

Thanks for the link, just ordered the glass cleaner and sealent with a cloth.

Nice purchase!

Top tip for glass...

2 cloths. 1 for applying the product and rubbing till its nearly all dry. 1 for buffing afterward. Never had an issue since adopting that process

Update on the PPF situation.

303 Products hadn't tested their Graphene Spray on XPEL so suggested asking XPEL.

XPEL went to their chemists and told me that there was no concern with the listed ingredients, but, without testing the product they don't know if there is any concern with the unlisted products.

They've shipped me a sample of their recommended in-house product. Legends! I didn't ask for it, but I'm very happy to receive it. It's their equivalent to Gtechniq C2V3.

Further to the above, I queried the prep required for their Ceramic Boost product and in their reply, not only did they give full instructions, they also shipped a full size bottle of Iron Remover and samples of PPF cleaner and Detail Spray.

I've asked where I can leave positive feedback because I would like to give credit where credit is due.

Nice to see good customer service

[Cav]

Definitely! It's not so common these days so we've got to praise it when we see it

[Kwacky]

Autobrite Direct don't seem to be in any rush to send my stuff out. I've given them a prod.

[Cav]

They said expect up to 3 weeks dispatch I believe

[Cav]

Did you contact them, Kwacky? Get anything out of them?

[Kwacky]

I did

I didn't

I've not heard a word.

I'll chase them next week if I'm still waiting

[Stonesie]

Same story here, no rush though I bought a Mint Merkin from Dodo Juice, even with some cheap glass cleaner it has come up great and streak free.

Also the Dodo Juice site is was easier to navigate.

[Cav]

We aren't the only ones.

[Kwacky]

I appreciate that they're busy but you would have thought that some of the deliveries would have been made before the estimated 4 weeks.

[Kwacky]

I'm still waiting for my stuff from Autobrite

[duke63]

perhaps its on the same ship as the Yamahas.

[Kwacky]

I've had an email to say that my order is being posted today.

[Kwacky]

That purple velvet shampoo seems to be decent enough. The bike came up clean enough with the first wash.

[Cav]

Nice. I need to give the car another clean so will do that then. Worst of all is I need to give the interior a once over before installing baby Cav's car seat.

[Kwacky]

Cav, what do you recommend for the rear wheel on the brutale?

It's got some very minor swirl marks from cleaning and I want to put something on the wheel to make it easier to keep clean.

Ta.
