StevepGT3 Posted 23April, 2013 Report Share Posted 23April, 2013 Steve, they are a whole $3.52 each with free postage. Doesn't sound right????????? Thats why I took a punt, at that rate the clay that comes with the kit should be about 20cents instead of $14.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 23April, 2013 Report Share Posted 23April, 2013 Just pulled the trigger on a few bars Steve. Felt bad to order only one!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevepGT3 Posted 28April, 2013 Report Share Posted 28April, 2013 Over the last two weekends I have done the 993 which wasn`t too bad , my 2003 audi that felt like sandpaper and my wife's 2005 chrysler that had only ever been washed. all three have come up like someone that knew what they were doing had professionally detailed them. the paint on all three feel and look like glass. I used two chinese clay bars, two bottles of magiuars quick detailer and maguiras NXT tech wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarreraG50 Posted 28April, 2013 Report Share Posted 28April, 2013 Hi Steve, So you just spray with quick detailer (panel at a time?) rub over with the clay bar (turning/ kneading to keep it clean) and then wax the car. Is it that easy or am I missing something.. cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 I just bought some stuff off carecareproducts.com.au and a few clay bars from the ebay store above! I got buckets and a dirt guard, new shampoo for the beastie, wax applicator, wheel and rim cleaner + picked up 2 micro fibre dying towels phew I still have many Meguiars products, so I'll chew through those and then try out some more fancy waxes etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 21October, 2013 Report Share Posted 21October, 2013 Now that I have my car and a new found interest, dreams, in car shampoo, clay and waxes, I am reading this eagerly. Anyone got any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarreraG50 Posted 21October, 2013 Report Share Posted 21October, 2013 Now that I have my car and a new found interest, dreams, in car shampoo, clay and waxes, I am reading this eagerly. Anyone got any updates? Zero affiliation, but I was lucky enough to have a look through Bowden's car collection the other day, and then a chat with Dan and David. Bowdens own is developed here in oz with aussie chemists, it has zero salt, zero abrasives etc, and on face value seems like a good product. After I chew through my meguires stuff I'll give it a go. Apparently if you go to their website they will send out a free sample. As I said nothing in this for me.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 21October, 2013 Report Share Posted 21October, 2013 I have had a few mates suggest Nitro HD so I have bought some but yet to apply it. It is a 2 part nano tech sealant that lasts 12-18 months. Will let you guys know what I think once I have given it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknostar Posted 21October, 2013 Report Share Posted 21October, 2013 I got some of these and they are 4 or 5 times bigger than the maguiars clay bar that comes in the clay bar kit and IMHO they worked better. I used them with the maguiars quick detailer and bloody hell the car is as soooooooooooothe as. If you haven`t used a clay bar its a lot like giving your paint a good scrub without hurting it http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290839287094?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2723wt_939 Good find. Just bought a couple. Lets hope they do not scratch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknostar Posted 21October, 2013 Report Share Posted 21October, 2013 I have recently got onto the AMMO products http://www.ammonyc.com He was the guy that did the restore on the video of the green 912 posted up here a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 22October, 2013 Report Share Posted 22October, 2013 I have recently got hold of some "Juice" swirl remover. I just pulled the rear hatch lock out and replaced the rubber seal that surrounds the lock. Prior to installing the new seal I used kitten no.2 cutting compound to remove a lot of the gouges and pit marks in the paint that were caused by prior owners keys. So after the cutting compound to restore the shine I used the Juice swirl remover with my buffing machine and lambswool buff. WOW. What a great finish, it is lustrous and has a wet look and I cant wait to do some more of the car. I will just put a Meguires wax straight on top of this to seal it.

Orion03 Posted 22October, 2013 Report Share Posted 22October, 2013 So what's the current recommendation for a car wash? Autoglym ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiX Posted 22October, 2013 Report Share Posted 22October, 2013 So what's the current recommendation for a car wash? Autoglym ? Give this stuff a go, called autobrite snowfoam. Check out the YouTube video at bottom of link. http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/autobrite/ab_snow_foam_lance Heres some more how to info:http://howto.carcareproducts.com.au Info from a detailing clinic some Melb members attended a month or so ago.

Orion03 Posted 22October, 2013 Report Share Posted 22October, 2013 So you would recommend getting the Autobrite Snow Foam Lance and the snowfoam? With the snowfoam do you still have to wipe the car? or it does the job by itself and you just rinse off? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiX Posted 23October, 2013 Report Share Posted 23October, 2013 I would recommend getting them both, eBay have the lance cheaper. Haven't had to wipe it as yet, their waffle dry cloth is fantastic too, use that with a spray wax to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunky Posted 7November, 2013 Report Share Posted 7November, 2013 Well I applied the HD Nitro I bought and I only wish I had of known about this stuff sooner. The gloss is awesome and was easy to apply. You start by applying part A over whole car(obviously after a wash and clay bar session) and then you apply the part B over whole car and wait at least 30 minutes. I left it for over an hour. Then you buff it off for a silky and very glossy finish. The kit comes with everything you need including a cloth to buff it off and colour coded application pads(and there is enough to do at least 2 normal cars, maybe even 3 Porsches lol). I got mine from the Aussie woody wax online store(no affiliation), which has it on sale for $55 plus shipping ATM. Worth every cent IMO. It is meant to last for 12-18 months depending on how car is stored. No need to wax I'm told but my mates who use it, still wax after a few weeks(to let it set up) to help with water beading.

tazzieman Posted 10June, 2016 Report Share Posted 10June, 2016 If you have old paint (no clear coat) , read page 1 and see if you have any energy left for the process yourself! Very good info , but I don't have enough hours in the day!http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-mike-phillips-your-detailing-questions/25304-secret-removing-oxidation-restoring-show-car-finish-antique-single-stage-paints.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond911 Posted 10June, 2016 Report Share Posted 10June, 2016 I moved over to Wolfgang Fusion wax for a concours last year and found the ease of use and finish nothing short of awesome. Very exe but would last your lifetime and a free refill if and when you ever finish the tub (assuming you still have the receipt).https://www.waxit.com.au/collections/waxes/products/wolfgang-fuzion-wax?variant=641815345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whytar Posted 10June, 2016 Report Share Posted 10June, 2016 But you've got a modern paint finish? They are easy to maintain.I meant more that I've used it over the years on different cars. Not specifically my current 911. Although this car will be undergoing a light correction and wax when she arrives home in a few months. Wolfgang will be the stuff I use...

tazzieman Posted 10June, 2016 Report Share Posted 10June, 2016 My experience with clear coated cars is that just about anything works , after a good claying. "Antique" single coat finishes become thinner over time and preservation is the tricky part. Repainting is 'easy', though not always easy to justify.

Hughesy Posted 10June, 2016 Report Share Posted 10June, 2016 Lads at Rennsport I tried code polish I think it is the best I've used. .. since then I've bought a code clay mit . It clay bars up to 50 cars and is a snack to use best I've seen so far Clayed 3 cars and cunuba waxed in one day. Good staying power too. Daily Car still gleams after all that bad weather we had in Sydney last week. Highly recommended. Hughesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
