Ross, How often would you need to use the UltraGloss? And the best method, just spray on and rinse?

I personally only use it after a thorough wash (where I've used a mitt and given it a complete wash)

Best method is after washing with gleam rinse car as you normally would. Then spray entire clean rinsed car starting at one wing and working your way right round to the opposite side. By the time you've made your way round and covered each panel it's time to rinse it off again!

And shazam! A lovey dripping wet finish!

 

[chrisd1]

That's the way I've been using it, just making sure lol top class, so easy and a great finish!

Wee bit of frozen beading this morning after a recent spritz of UltraGloss...

Snow Foam - diluted at 20:1

Sorry the bottle ran out at the end.

I know I posted it in the other thread, but probably better suited to this one

 

[Phil_EK9]

Cheers @Big Pimp , hopefully get to try it out tomorrow

 

[Big Pimp]

Thank you very much mate. I appreciate your business. Make sure you let me know how you get on with it all!

 

[Phil_EK9]

@Big Pimp how do I tell the difference between the sprayers? Only difference I can see is that one has an 11 marked on the bottom and the other has a 15

Sorry mate, should have made it more clear.

Solvent resistant sprayers are the grey ones with the wee 'upside down' ball bearing thing in it. Same as the one for the Tarminator bottle. The non solvent resistant is just the standard one in red, yellow, blue or green! (Not sure which colour my store guy packaged!)

 

[Phil_EK9]

Oh so its just the sprayers are solvent resistant. I thought it was the bottles as well. Sorted, cheers.

 

[Big Pimp]

Sorry - bottles are flourinated so will be too!

 

[hannakournikova]

I've just been using ai arty any coloured sprayer. So grey for stone brite and tarminator?

 

[Phil_EK9]

Sorry - bottles are flourinated so will be too!

So the bottles are all solvent resistant?

 

[Dusty]

Must get bottles next time. I was using one of the old wheel cleaner bottles for my ultra gloss!!!

 

[Phil_EK9]

Have to say, the anachem range is great value for money. Think I need to play around with the settings for the snowfoam lance and dilution ratios but its impressive stuff so far (haven't managed to try everything yet).
Also, the trigger sprayers are brilliant, a trigger that actually sprays is a rare thing sometimes lol

 

[Ruairi83]

What's the price of spray bottles? Need a few..

 

[mcmurray]

Cheers @Big Pimp , stuff arrived today.

 

[weeloaney]

Didn't realise there was tyre dressing and dash/trim stuff

 

[Martyn]

Didn't realise there was tyre dressing and dash/trim stuff

@Big Pimp .....I was just about to ask the same....

What about the tyre dressing? Can you just apply it with a brush? What's the constancy like?

Price?

 

[Big Pimp]

Didn't realise there was tyre dressing and dash/trim stuff

A couple of new products to the range - I'm impressed so far but it's up to you guys if we keep them on or not!

Tyre dressing seems to be very well balanced. Nice and Matt shine with no fling and decent durability.

The dash dressing smells awesome too!

@Martyn. My method of application is by brush. I have used it with a sponge but found that method too fiddly. It should be applied to dry tyres but I've been experimenting and putting it on wet immediately after a wash and it still works nicely, and again with no fling

 

[mcmurray]

Will probably get using both the tyre dressing and the interior stuff on Wednesday so I'll give you some more feedback then.

 

[collyirwin11]

Ill be in touch @Big Pimp shortly, need some snowfoam and would like to try the tyre dressing etc, but probably leave it until after christmas so you can get some time off

 

[chrisd1]

ohh new goods... will have to try out some in the New Year Ross... reminds me i'll need some of the de-icer too, damn winter time

 

[Darren91]

Since I got my Dad a set of winter wheels for his A6, today was the day I finally cleaned and prepped his 19s.

Obviously washed and de-ironed first and now awaiting a coat of sealant but I only took progress pics of the de-tarring using Tarminator.

I'm amazed at how little product it needs to work, I've used Auto Finesse's T&G remover in the past but it requires alot of application.

All wheel weight stickers removed and big blobs of tar removed with ease. The wheel faces weren't bad enough to warrant a pic!

 

[Big Pimp]

Fantastic results Darren, and thank you for taking the time to do a write up on the product! Lovely wheels too!

I really have to go and spend a bit of time cleaning up my own wheels properly

 

[PeteMoore]

Ross, i'll have some dash dressing and tyre shine next time you're out my way dude.
