titanium_s_spec Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 ok so can i just wash then apply hard wax after and its lime prime i have .............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 You can - yes. The paint cleanser will improve the way the wax bonds to the surface however. I have both Lime Prime and Lime Prime Lite - that way if I need correction I can use the Lime Prime, and if I don't I can use Lime Prime Lite.

Michael P Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Take it back and get another order into I4D...it's the same price ahh it isn't, thats why i bought it. it was £9 in Halfords and the lime prime including postage would be £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 another question can u get an inline water filter for karcher preasure washer as my water is very hard and leaves white marks if not dried quickly enough lol i do like a cup of tea during cleaning and u no what they say we can't multi task sorry guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 you can get inline filters but most of them say don't use it with a pressure washer. the aqua gleam ones are very good and i know a few people that do use them with pressure washers and in their buckets. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/aqua-gl...-filter-12.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurfs Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I live in a very hard water area and I have been using rainwater from my garden waterbutt for a long time now, I use a pair of the OH tights as a filter and as rainwater is very soft I get no watermarks whatsoever and any shampoo thats used really foams up. If you have a waterbutt give it a try its free. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 What excatly should poorboys wheel sealent be doing? I put 4 coats on, on sunday and find the wheels dirty with brake dust already. Is the wheel sealent just to make it easier to wash off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenymk7 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Gaz, the poorboys wheels sealent is purely there to make it easier to wash your wheels and to protect them from the brake dust eating into the wheels. over a longer period you will notice the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 That's really weeeird, I thought soft water made it really difficult to get a good lather up. no soft water gives a good lather .... also hard to use rain water with a pressure washer :rolleyes: :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 even thought they are £50 the aqua gleam filters are great. if your having trouble with water marks there is a product from duragloss to get rid of them without hurting your wax layers.

MarkyR Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 hmm, I've noticed some small black dots on my car that just rub off, I suspect it's the same thing? Will give it a wash on saturday. If I do give it a wax what's the best product for lazy people like me? I have my own little power wash but will probably leave that for the summer. But if you guy's can suggest a wax or something that's good for all year round and means I don't have to clay etc etc I may have a go. I did spend the first year I had my last car washing and waxing it, but that was a few years ago now haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sounds like you want a spray wax or sealant Marky. The Durogloss Aquawax I mentioned earlier in this thread is AWESOME. Autoglym also make an Aqua wax. Red Mist by Dodo juice doesn't have to go over wax, it can be use don bare paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 for quick and simple products that can layer up very quickly over winter you want to go for a sealent. FK 1000P Megs 16 collinite 915 all of these can be layered up fairly quickly but take a little longer to put on than a spray but not as long as wax to cure.

MarkyR Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 THanks guy's, I'll have a look into the products, will need to get a collection of mitts as well. I'm going to just use the local garage jetwash this weekend as I heard the weather is going to be rubbish, so it'll give me a chance to do some browsing. I think it's going to take more effort to keep a white car clean! Judging by the dirt it's collected already, and I see it shows up those small black spots of sap or whatever from trees and bushes. grrrrr.

greenymk7 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 got my tin of Finish Kare 1000P this morning and its huuuuuuge and for £14 baaaaaaargain weather is looking abit ribbish this morning so i mite not be able to use it but il give it a go. Will be using it on my dads and my grandads car as mine has already had lots of wax on so would take some time to get it all off again. il give you the results asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have used Zero cleaning products on my alloys although i have 4 coats of poorboys on each. I usally tend to just use hot water with Meguiars next Generation shampoo to wash them. Does anyone have any goog alloy cleaner they use?, any shampoo that is better than megs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 bilberry wheel cleaner is most detailers preference. buy it and dilute it down so it last a long time aswell. you will need a chemical resistent sprayer for it also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i currently use megs step 2 polish, this is a great product, but i feel its time for change. Will auto glymm super resien be suitable for under my dodo juice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 It will be but unless u want to take out very minor swirl marks then id go with some lime prime lite. With it being a paint cleanse it leaves a great base for wax or sealent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
