This part of the forum is very quiet. Are people still washing their cars? Any new detailers or is it still the same old guys?

Oh boy I miss Lawrence's threads

Both my Touareg and my fiancé's Q3 need a serious detail after the holidays carrying us, our son, two dogs and a lot of luggage

I was talking about @lawrence's threads to @Krutch just the other day. What legendary threads he made!

Why would you detail my car with alcohol? Do you even know what you are doing?

Only after washing with Sunlight to make sure you get all of the contaminants on the paint

Only if I don't finish my glass of whisky the night before

I detailed my wife's Tiguan last month.

I keep the home cars clean when the weather allows.
Oh how i miss Lawrence posts, what a Legend.

Anyone who spoke to him lately?

Ironic; visited this section of the forum hoping to see some of Lawrence's epic detailing threads.

I see he's quit the game. That's a damn shame.

I'm certainly not detailing our cars, more like speed washing

Who are the resident detailing experts these days?

Me and a few friends did a decontamination detail on our cars in December. Nothing hectic as I don't have the skill to correct

Polo got a quick wash on Thursday before we headed out for the weekend. Has probably been 2 months since the last wash. Usually give it a wash at least once a month. Got super dirty since we started heading back to office from the start of Feb.

Still playing with different products from time to time.
Just want to get to that final list of products that work well and don't cost a fortune. Don't want a garage covered in hundreds of different half-empty bottles.

The bonnet has Turtle Wax Hydrophic Sealant and Soft99 Fusso Coat on it. Did this maybe 10 months ago (can't remember exactly).



Fusso FTW.

Even trying out products like DynaChem ProSolv for tar removal, etc. That stuff works well. 5L will last me forever.

Did a clay bar and iron remover decon maybe 6 months ago. Car is covered in those annoying fallout nibs again, but not sure I should hit it with coarse grade clay again. Bought fine grade clay and one of those clay sponge things, but they don't seem very effective.

Still want to get a decent polisher, but that's a ton of money right now. Can't tell in that photo, but the bonnet is all scratched up as someone dragged something across it when we were moving house last year.

So yeah I guess people are still detailing, etc, but there's more other stuff going on these days. Detailing isn't cheap and life is going to get expensive.
