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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...

their full range of waxes are available as panel pots (including the pro range) so you can always...
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer is nowadays used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive parts not far from the object we are...
Haynes: Rotate anticlockwise.
Translation: Clamp with molegrips (adjustable wrench) then beat repeatedly with hammer anticlockwise. You do know which way is...
how about a wash mitt/pad on a long reach handle so you can reach to the middle of van roofs etc without being at full stretch. i have a hop up platform that i work from, but it can still be an issue...
looks like the polish has reacted with it. aluminium can be funny stuff. did the polish say 'suitable for use on aluminium' on the container? if not, id suggest looking of one that does
chemical guys fabric sealant is excellent. that and their bare bones undercarriage spray, which i use for dressing wheel wells is about all i use of their stuff. That said, i tried and liked their...
i use a nitrile glove, works an absolute treat. seems to work a bit better than a latex glove in my experience. just rub the fabric and all the hair bunches up together, then suck it up with a vacuum
