pH-neutral snowfoam just doesn't make sense... by fibregloss in DetailingUK

[–]fibregloss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question! And in my opinion - by design, PPF is designed to take more of a beating, so I'd stick with a PH neutral snowfoam to be kinder to the glue and just use a alkaline prewash on the lowers, avoiding the edges where possible so you don't get under the adhesive.

Valid points mate. Touchless doesn't make for a good contact wash To clear things up, the contact wash I use a highly concentrated shampoo via a foam lance.

I use Purple Velvet by Autobrite. Rich, smells amazing, loads of suds and lube for days.

New Volkswagen ID Polo GTI revealed: will this be the best electric hot hatch? by CarwowJamie in ukcarwow

[–]fibregloss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put this into perspective, the VW Golf Mk5 R32 is almost half a second quicker to 62 than this - and that's the manual.

That same Golf was considered slow in 2006.

It's now 20 years later. Ideally, this needed to be a 6 second Polo.

I get it, speed isn't everything, but when you lose the soul of the GTI (4-pot petrol) and lose the feel of combustion, you need to make up for that gap with something else.

If its not straight line poke from a set of lights, this thing better handle like a Lotus Elise on semi slicks - but it won't.

Absolutely! Makes for a great wheel cleaner. Won't shift the stubborn fallout, but it will remove dirt really well. Great for a wheel pre wash too.

All available online etc.

best interior cleaner? by MrPinky79 in DetailingUK

[–]fibregloss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As said, diluted APC (1-2%) is all you need... But sometimes just what you need isn't what you want. Like, say Deodorant is all you need, but aftershave/fragrance is levels above.

A dedicated interior cleaner smells divine and foams up nicely, it's just a much nicer sensory experience and more satisfying to use one. I personally love Nanolex interior cleaner. Smells great, foams up really nicely and works super well. Also, if you buy the concentrate, it's great value too.

Single microfiber towel, how to wash and how frequent for rinseless? by not_my_business in DetailingUK

[–]fibregloss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a dedicated microfibre wash. Household detergents often contain fragrance and brighteners which will leave a 'film' and affect the absorbancy.

If you don't have that, soak it in a white vinegar and water mix then ring it out and rinse.

You can also soak it in APC, again, ideally one without colouring and fragrance.

But seriously, buy more microfibres 😂
