looks very tidy :xyxthumbs: they're a big old beasty to clean :cool: nice job

sorry, that should say claying, not valuing in my previous post. good old spell check got hold of that one without me noticing lol. Roguerobot is spot on buddy. simply put, it'll take as much as it takes. i usually use dodo juice supernatural clay, which contains 3x 80g bars. id expect to get...

Personally I've never liked the synthetic type valuing products. You get less feel, and I've seen a lot of damage done with them by folk due to exactly that. I'd always recommend using a proper traditional clay bar

id suggest a mild clay to start with, particularly if you're new to claying. aggressive clays are generally used for removing overspray etc. and can very easily mar paint.

personally I'm a huge fan of the dodo juice range of waxes. they're extremely user friendly and kind on the wallet. you could also try a spray sealant instead of a wax. id recommend a water based one such as dodo juice acrylic spritz, as these tend to give fewer interference issues than spirit...

Hats off fella, thats some really top work. very nicely done and a pleasure to see. thanks for posting :dblthumb2:

tbh, i think theres very little that will defend against stone impacts at speed. the forces you're dealing with at a PSI level are enormous. self healing paints are on their way to the market though, so a solution may not be to far down the road. Dodo Juice have just release a nano wax which...

no need to get testy, the guy is just after advise :xyxthumbs: my advise would be to polish a small test spot by hand and see if you can improve the situation.if not, then its time to find a good spray shop and hand over some lolly

I bought a 12m (36 foot) hose for mine, I think they do a 15m as well. Fairly expensive, but worth it.

good choice :xyxthumbs:

I've found karcher to be reasonable enough for the money. just make sure that you drain down fully and store somewhere frost free in the winter. they're prone to having the O rings blow and it won't be covered by your warranty.

:iagree: as JRS stated, ipa (or panel wipe) is probably the easiest and cheapest solution. pop some into a spray bottle, find a clean cloth that you don't mind wrecking and away you go :xyxthumbs:

curious. if its smooth to the touch, my guess would be that is something that was in the colour coat when it was applied to the car. if that is the case, then the only way to remove it would be to strip that area back to the primer and respray it. probably best left well alone

Fantastic work fella, my hats off. I'm sure it'll pay huge dividends in terms of future business too.

I'm a huge fan of dodo juice, they've got a great product line up as well as a fantastic ethic. their full range of waxes are available as panel pots (including the pro range) so you can always give them a try and see how you get on. personally, i think supernatural hybrid out performs anything...
