Happy to learn whatever's on offer personally, complete noob when it comes to this.

Im not sure if there would be much interest in window cleaning but i bet a lot of people spend a lot of effort and money on window cleaning cloths and sprays and the like, spend an good while getting the windows cleaned, stand back to admire their hard work then the feking sun come around and your glass is all smeary and looks like ya wiped them with an owl pair of trunks.......So proper window cleaning if possible ...pretty please.

I use kitchen roll on my glass seems to clean the spray easier than a cloth BUT this may be a crap way to do it

 

[big_pete]

ah glass. I was terrible at cleaning glass, used to have to go over and over it.

Then I found 50cal 20:20 glass cleaner. It's the one product that actually peaked my interest in the company and made me go on a manhunt for them lol imagine my surprise when I found out they were a local company

The trick is clean cloths, especially glass cloths and a good product. We will go a bit more in depth on the day though.

Start with the basics ie, prepping the bodywork before washing (snowfoam, citrus spray, wheel cleaner etc), safe wash method (2 bucket, lambs wool mitt), rinsing and drying.

Claying, de-tar, de-iron, glass, wheel protection, polishes, waxes, sealant and general keeping the car tidy.

I don't know alot but I will take in whatever advice is given

 

[Mel]

Is there going to be any suppliers on the day selling stuff as I need new snow foam and my lambs wool mitt is starting to fall to bits as the wee Adam badge on the side keeps catching it.

Ps you may fix my windows whilst I am on hols, did them yesterday and the front windscreen is streaky, Courtney said I was a freak on the way to School as I quickly produced a cloth when stopped at a set of lights to try and fix it

 

[big_pete]

50cal will be there on the day with products to sell @Mel I cant see anyone using the stuff and not wanting it. Unbelievable stuff

@Morgan@50cal
Will you have a card machine or is it cash only?

Can you direct me to any good window cloths, do good microfibre cloths not do the same or are they to fluffy.??

 

[big_pete]

micro fibres are fine for the initial cleaning but a secondary wipe with a glass cloth will take away any smears etc. Any glass cloth will do, they are more like a cotton towel with no fibres as opposed to a regular "fluffy" microfibre

I'll try to get a card reader sorted, but likely to be cash only.

Have you a site or can you PM me some prices, know off the top of my head I need snow foam, shampoo and a lambs wool mitt.

Hi Mel, Ambush SuperFoam is an SnowFoam with immense cleaning power

Combat Neutral SnowFoam is Dual purpose, can be used as a SnowFoam and then go at it with the lambs wool mitt, or used via two bucket method.

Free Next Day delivery in NI on an order over £30 use discount code 'RMS5' to get 5% discount We don't stock lambs wool mitts at the moment, we're all about the chemistry!

Paypal is handy until you get your merchant / bank account set up. I don`t carry cash as most things I buy are expenses and cash is hard to account for.

Oh we have a merchant account, we just use Paypal as well because some of our customers requested it. Cheers for the advice Dave.

Have you thought about Amazon checkout? It means any customer can use their Amazon account details to make a payment.
Its a bit of a b@llocks to set up but handy when its all integrated.

 

[Gibbo]

Going to have to try out some of the 50cal stuff, would like to be going to the day Pete but will be lying up in Italy with beer no doubt.
