One question I get asked all the time by email is “How do I wash my car after I get a ceramic coating applied?” Since this seems to be a common question people have, I thought it would be worth my while doing a little blog post on the topic, to help clear up some of the confusion and help people get the best out of their ceramic coating application. One common myth about Ceramic Coatings is that once they…
Regular readers of this blog know that I am currently living in Ireland. One thing we are not short of here in this country is rain. I am not even exaggerating when I say that it could rain for most of the year here, even during the summer months. Ireland is a beautiful country and I love living here, but I must admit it is not the ideal place to live if you love keeping your car as clean as…
A friend of mine contacted me during the week and asked me what the best way to remove “Fingerprint marks” from a car’s paint. He said he tried to wash the car but the marks remain, so he was unsure of what to do next. This was an immediate red flag for me as usual, you can remove any fingerprint marks from car paint with a couple of sprays of a good Quick Detailer, and some buffing with a Microfiber…
One product that is getting a lot of attention online over the last couple of months is a new release by Meguiars, what they are calling their “Hybrid Ceramic Wax“. I must admit when I initially read about it and saw the name, I was immediately sceptical. For one, this does not look like a Wax Product, nor does it look like a Ceramic Coating product. Seeing the words Ceramic and Wax used in the same description had me questioning…
Valet Pro is a name that has been around a long time in the detailing world. They are a UK company who set up back in 2005 and have been supplying products that are designed to make car cleaning easier and quicker and are known for offering great value effective products for all aspects of valeting and detailing. Admittedly, I have not used many of their products in the past but always intended to try some out. I was recently…
If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know that I recently tried out a product from Angelwax called FastFoam ( You can check out this review here ). I really rated this product highly so I decided I would try out some more of the Angelwax product range. This week I was running low on car shampoo so I decided I pick up Angelwax Angelwash. What caught my eye about this product is that it claimed…
Last Saturday morning I was setting up all my detailing gear for the usual weekend clean of the TTRS. Just as I was ready to go, I turned on my Karcher pressure washer to give the car a pre-rinse before I started the snow foam process. Suddenly I heard a loud hissing noise and the water started spraying everywhere! I looked around to see what was happening and noticed that the hose part of the Karcher Pressure Washer had a…
Angelwax is one of many companies I have heard great things about over the years but never got around to trying any of their products. Recently I found myself in a position where I needed to replace my current SnowFoam (Gtechniq W4 Citrus Foam ) and was looking for something a bit different. I have found the Gtechniq Foam very good and effective in its cleaning abilities, but this time around I was looking for something priced a bit lower,…
I had recently just run out of my current car shampoo and needed to pick up a new product to try. Having recently been really impressed by a product by Gyeon ( Wetcoat ), I decided to take a look at what types of shampoo they had on offer. One that caught my eye straight away was their Shampoo + Coating combination called Bathe+. I have read about this product before and heard some positive things, so I decided to give…
