    Was certainly more of a head turner at 6pm than it was at 10am. Really enjoyed this transformation, the paint colour underneath the dirt was gorgeous

      Very pretty Andy, as usual... What dilutions do you use for the Surfex, for the different uses around the car? And can it be used instead of 101 for the rubber bits? I was thinking of picking up 5L for prewash and other bits (my wallet likes multipurpose products!)...

        Surfexhd is fantastic but be aware, no good in hard water areas. Best off buying cheap bottled mineral water to mix it with if this is the case

        The spray on the car is always, for me on a detail, diluted 1:5. This is not LSP safe at this ratio and will strip protection which is ideal on a detail when the LSP is going to be replaced anyway.

        I use these ratios:

        On the tyres it is again 1:5
        Door rubbers/panel gaps/ fuel filler cap 1:10-1:20
        General (lsp safe) pre rinse 1:20

        You can adjust this product to the strength suiting the level of soil and dirt as it remains active at levels of just 1:200 in water for light work, or used neat for extreme duty.

        Surfex HD is recommended for all arduous automotive, commercial and domestic cleaning duties. Can be used on paint, wheels, tyres, fabric, carpets and most surfaces. Spot tests are always advisable

              Brilliant, thanks mate. Water is soft as sh*te down here, so its all good. Do you get your supply online? Its annoying that a 15 quid tub always seems to come with £5 p&p!!

                I have a fantastic detailing shop in Chorley not too far from me called Perfect Detailing which I get from. Saves on the excruciating postage costs.



                What I would be inclined to do in your circumstance is have a couple of things you need to buy then visit here for free delivery over £30.
                Highly recommended are BH Korrosol and/or Auto Wheel.

                    It was fantastic Joe.

                    Decontaminated whole car, machine corrected paintwork, panel wiped with Silicone Off then applied Ultra Glaze with a red finishing pad on one panel at a time. The machine ensures light yet consistent coverage. After about 2 minutes, the glaze had cured to be able to be wiped off with extremely easily with a mf cloth. Left a great shine and filled slight swirls not removed from machine correction.

                    Highly recommended as an alternative to Poorboys Blackhole and White Diamond
