Detailing chat

Guys Anyone used an Tenzi products? Have a local guy pushing it saying its all he'll use now ect, cars looking good but hadn't really heard much or see much about it online

There's a few reviews on detailing world. It's probably best to try some products out for yourself maybe sample sizes if you could get them. People have their own brands that they like or certain products from brands

Treated myself to a Kranzle XA 17 TST.

Could anyone recommend a good foam lance, would be a D12 connector for this AFAIK.

Kudos for coming back with the answer - couldn't count the number of times I've found someone else had a similar question to mine, but there was no answer.

Out of curiosity, what's so great about Kraenzle power washers? They're damn expensive.

I've had a Karcher for 6 years now and it did well until it packed in last week. I'll probably repair it if it's within my ability.

Main reasons for the Kraenzle is that I tend to go for stuff that will last. The Karcher was ok when I was living in rented accommodation. Now I have my own place I have way more use for the washer so I want a step up.

Also it's Christmas and I might deserve a present.

This might interest someone here. Lidl have extractors in tomorrow 30th. I don't know how good these are but might be good enough for doing your own carpets, mats, seats etc

Don't have a lot of time for detailing anymore. Applied my first wax (collinite) the other day for the first time in 4 years I'd say.

The hose from my nilfisk power washer burst the last time I turned it on so I need to get a replacement. Any recommendations for a good supplier?

Thanks but they don't stock nilfisk

I got a hose for a Nilfisk from there, might be worth contacting them

2 Questions:

Best place (EU, pref in Irl) to buy a snow foam lance these days?

Any recommendations for an inexpensive blower for car drying?

Looking to clean my windows properly for the first time, apply something like g5. Before I go out and spend money on products, would this guide be appropriate?

Use plenty of ADBL products myself and they are pretty good! I have the autoglym lance and it's been excellent so far, can't fault it. A leaf blower would do the job but maybe not as good for the tight areas

If your buying from OCD,Blok51,D&D etc you can probably choice the fitting to suit your pressure washer

Should be able to get it in Halfords. I use Gyeon wetcoat as you get a 1 litre of it for €23, it's a bit cheaper than meguiars and thought it performed better. You can also get a concentrated version that can be diluted up to 15:1

Check out that tasty orange peel. The whole car is getting clayed, wet sanded and polished over the next week or so.

I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into it.

It's a 97 Prelude. It had a full respray about two years ago and was relacquered about a year ago. I got the painter to deliberately put an extra heavy coat of laquer on it so that I could wet sand it and get it perfect when the time was right.

It's a twenty footer as it is but that's not what I'm after.

I clayed the whole car and wet sanded one of the doors with 1500 grit to see what I was working with.

I think I'm gonna drop down to 1200 grit tomorrow and work my way back up from there.

I doubt I'll get started on the compounding this weekend though but we'll see.

Yes, buy a fair bit from Pascal. Great selection, quick delivery and he's very appreciative.
