Some new detailing kit

[lambchop]

So today I finally got some goodies which iv been wanting for a while

The Karcher WV50 + is an absolute boss when it comes to window drying.
Iv always had endless issues cleaning windows. Its always streaked and left lint and ..... yeah this machine is def a god send
They not cheap, you looking at R800 but WOW does it do a good job
No need for fancy window cleaners or fancy glass cloths
Wash the car as normal and suck up the water from the windows . Easy as that :thumbs:
The WV50 is battery powered but its got enough juice for 30min






New Light
For most of the guys with building lights i'm sure you have all had the issue with trying to correct the lower panels of the car. Building lights are to tall and the tripod doesn't go low enough to show the defects.
So while at builders today I came across this bad boy. Its going to add a new dimension to lower panel paint correction

I've just bought the tripod double light.
And had exactly that issue this weekend.

Iv been looking for the low level light for a long time now
Was going to buy some fancy Festool thing but at 150 quid i wasnt keen

It was R280 - But well worth the money

No, the new light was R280
I think i paid about the same for my building lights

Looks like an investment.....
I hate windows.

By the time you spent money on 10x different glass cleaners and cloths etc you could have bought the Karcher.

Iv tried so many products and not one of them worked out as i expected.
I even splashed out R60 on a glass cloth.

 

[Fraser]

I use the Turtle Wax Glass Cleaner and three different cloths to clean the windows and I'm still left with streaks.
Hate it.
This looks brilliant.

I love the light idea, polished my doors by instinct last night :rollsmile:
Was relieved to see my car was swirl free this morning (when the sun finally came out)

The glass cleaner... I think is a bit much. I get my glass perfect with a regular microfiber cloth, no extra products or anything. Just a regular wash & then dry it off with a damp MF cloth :fencelook:

 

[Fraser]

Noted.
Will try anything.
:thumbs:

If you still can't get the glass perfect, you can try this wax in a can.

When I used it I would use 2 MF cloths, wax on wax off
I'm not too sure how good it is for the paint but it is awesome for the windows. Gets rid of the grease/fingerprints on the inside of your windscreen quite quickly :thumbs:

I have the normal squeegee thingy they use at the garages - doesn't work either.. :fencelook: Would love to see this one in action! :=): I use my CrazyDetailer MF cloth to buff them after a wash.

 

[NavZ]

I need to invest in a proper CD plush Supreme Drying Towel.
They're always sold out
Regular MF cloths aren't good for drying the paint.

 

[Fraser]

I find the drying towel so much more convenient.
Takes 5 minutes to dry off the car.
Good investment

I sourced one of those with my last order - love it to bits :thumbs: MF on the paint does not work I agree :nonono:

 

[NavZ]

My current technique is to go for a spin on the highway to dry it off.
Followed by Detailer spray & a MF on any water marks that remain.
Usually only the rear.
With a black car, you have to learn how to touch the paint as little as possible :rollsmile:

The drying towel & some chrome polish for my tips is the only things left on my shopping list. That Daytona Speed Wheel Brush looks awesome though :argh:

A wash mit and drying towel is the best investment you can make
