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…
A Foam Cannon that I had been using for several years recently broke and unfortunately was no longer usable. I knew I had to find myself a replacement, as I really do like to incorporate the snow foaming process in my cleaning regime. If you have read my blog post on “Everything you need to know about snow foam”, you are aware of the many benefits of snow foaming your car before you complete a hand wash. Rip Off! I…
As much as I love detailing products and trying out new gear, one type of product I never really bought into was the idea of “Drying Aids” or “Paint Moisturizers”. I always thought of them as a bit of a gimmick, and given how expensive it can be to stock up on all different types of detailing and cleaning products, I would never have thought that this was a necessity, so I never really bothered! It just so happens I…
For those with a passion for cleaning cars, a pressure washer isn’t just another tool; it’s a game-changer. A favored choice among both car cleaning aficionados and seasoned professionals, the pressure washer is the ultimate weapon for achieving that coveted ‘deep clean’ feeling. Unlike the laborous strokes of hand washing, a pressure washer effortlessly dislodges stubborn dirt from nooks and crannies—think wheel arches or those pesky contaminants on alloy wheels. And trust me, if you’ve tried cleaning them by hand,…
Every car enthusiast knows that keeping a vehicle looking pristine isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a testament to the care and attention given to preserving the car’s value and functionality. However, even with the best intentions, car owners often face challenges during their car washing routine: swirl marks and micro-scratches. These pesky imperfections are not just unsightly; they degrade the vehicle’s paintwork over time, often leading to more significant damage and devaluation. So, what’s the secret to a swirl-free, gleaming…
It may seem counterintuitive, but one of the riskiest activities for your car’s paintwork is the seemingly innocent act of washing and drying it. When I tell people this, I’m often met with funny looks. While I admit I can be a bit mad in some ways, this isn’t one of them. Many car owners, brimming with good intentions, spend their Sunday mornings in the driveway, armed with a bucket and sponge, inadvertently compromising the overall finish of their vehicle….
