Manky Days Are Over

Greig, the Meguires 101 APC you mentioned above, can you confirm it is D 101?
Reason i ask is i can get it but it lists it as an interior APC

It's g101 Alan, as a matter of interest do you get chemical guys products there?

Your man covered everything but I’ll add if I lived out there I’d get the 303 Aerospace to do the inside trim. It’s like Sun block for your car. I actually use it outside on my trim as it says it works outside as and look to me like it does fine even in Scotland with rain beading on the trim with it on. I would not say it last ages but I top it up if I’m going any place I want the car to look its best.

Waxing in that Temp you’ll have to do ¼ of the roof at a time. One put wax on the roof and the guy across the road came out and stated talking before he drove off. I went back and it was a nightmare to get off. I luckily had some “Last Touch” but even then nightmare. You live and learn as they say.

Excellent point on the waxing, I'd go as far to say do it late on or under cover etc?

Do you mean this

Yeah that’s the stuff. I spray it onto a wee square microfiber pad outside the car and then just wipe over the dash. Also have Auto glym Vinyl & Rubber Care for all the rubber around the doors and boot and use it in the engine bay too. you Just have to remember to have the rubber dry around the doors before you close the doors and have the windows come in contact after you use it. Also got the same plastic Tesco tubs as Mr A to keep all the stuff all in.

Cheaper just to send it back and get Greig to do it and then Ship it back! Your not even close with that list try double that for a start with brushes, wool Mitt. I just got a smaller version of a brush just to clean the wheels EZ Detail so now I have the large and MINI to do in at the brakes. Plus you really need two Microfibre cloths per product. Polish, Glaze, Wax...I use first cloth to take the bulk off then another to buff as it were. I bought like the Plastic Zip freezer bags and wrote what product the cloths are for. ie clar zip bag with Wax, Bag polish, Bag glaze, Bag windows inside, Bag windows outside, Bag 303 Aero etc. Yes sad as but it keep me right!



Also one of these to go round the edge lip of the alloy's

Is it safe to use on the JCW dash and seats?

$375 + 6% tax and still to get the foam lance and connector, be cheaper to fly Greig, Ian or Craig over
