lol i dont understand why people spend so much on cleaning products,
hot soapy water elbow grease and wax is enough unless you're driving an aston martin or something lol

[Jorge-]

Because using those products to clean someones Aston pays for them all easily lol.

Wish I had that kinda cash :(

[fossie]

Lol how much that set you back fella, and where you get if from

[Luke]

About £240 mate.

All from Clean Your Car, I went over to collect it as it's 15 miles from my house so saves waiting on the postage.

[gav1513]

thats awesome for £240, nice selection

[waynaldo1]

When i Clean My CARS i Normally

Rinse the Car with Cold Water Remove all the Dirt
and Dust TO avoid Scratching my car..

then just use a Normal car shampoo from wikos (£3)
with warm water and scrub down your car.
buff it dry with a clean dry cloth.

then just use a CAR WAX from poundshop (£1)
to wax your car but do bit by bit then use a power
buffer to buff the wax

BISTO***** Car is looking like a show room car

with a cost of (£4):cool:

[jamiemackie]

not being funny but if you can get a showroom finnish for £4 then i doubt there would be any detailing companies in business, also half the stuff there is for more than just cleaning.

[Luke]

Kestral badged as a Clean Your Car Polisher. Exactly the same, from the same people but badged differently.

YEAH mine normally looks new its all about effort not products

take care and long enough you get your car looking
liek new...its not all about money...:panic:

[Barry123]

I actually here by declare that if I ever, EVER spend that much on car cleaning gear I'll castrate myself.

edit: is this for the business or for you own enjoyment... ?

[Barry123]

I dubious about spending £3million quid on cleaning gear... but £4 I find hard to believe... nothing, bar god himself can remove crap like a clay bar - that's the only thing I really spend money on... the clay

yeah agree but i dont care about the TINY little tar spots which to be honest
i not got many onli on the side skirts :hug:

[J222JRA]

lol i dont understand why people spend so much on cleaning products,
hot soapy water elbow grease and wax is enough unless you're driving an aston martin or something lol

bet your cars paintwork is awesome lol

[McGuire86]

yeah it is actually, a good couple hours of water and shampoo along with waxing and polishing does the job just fine, i would never spend over £50 on cleaning products let alone £240 thats just madness

[Luke]

Nothing wrong with spending £240 on cleaning gear and when you do Valeting/Detailing for a living, I opt for the best results.

[smiith]

You dont do it for a living though do you luke :P its a bit on the side.

I dont clean my car.. vandals clean my paint off the car for me, saves me time, and money...

Car actually hasnt been cleaned since febuary, lets as much light in as a van lol, only use jetwash under the car to stop it been caked in salt and shite

[Luke]

True, it's a second job but that will be changing eventually ;)

[Barry123]

you know what. I hope you charge at least £50 a bloody hour. I hate hate hate cleaning a car.... I said I'd clean dadsayer's before he sells it. BIG fucking mistake.
It's an estate car, it has more surface area than the fucking USSR, 4 bastard hours that thing has taken me so far just to wash it, clean it inside and clay it. Polish and wax tomorrow. Should've just put through a forecourt car wash :wall:

[Roj]

looks like an awesome kit. all of that QUALITY gear for 240 doenst sound too bad atall.

[craig180]

What you doing a week on saturday? I don't have a hard enough polish/pad combi to get all the compounding swirls out of the VTS :n:

For a full detail, which is a full days work I charge slightly more than that. For valets etc - they range from £10 - £45 dependant on what you get done.

[smiith]

£50 for a days work doesnt seem like an awfull lot :/

[Luke]

When I say slightly more, I don't mean a few quid more....but I don't wanna be broadcasting my prices on here ;) don't wanna get in trouble lol.

[craig180]

Is that the day before the Bolton Abbey meet?

Actually, yes it is :p

[smiith]

lol because of the saxp law... you cant even put mods on your ignore list... shit tbh..

but still, unless its £80 for a 6 hour day :P id leave it lol

[Luke]

Actually, yes it is :p

Will have a few hours spare in the afternoon possibly...

[Barry123]

i said £50 per hour, not per day.

[smiith]

i said £50 per hour, not per day.

thats what id say if i was asked to clean a car aswell... cant stand it

[Luke]

i said £50 per hour, not per day.

Oh so you did.....got a lot on my mind lol.

[Ferg]

Awesome stuff there Lukas ... I can vouch for almost all of that ...

They've changed the head colour on the Kestral ... Bastards lol.

Like I said in the thread mate, it's a Clean Your Car equivalent but it's made in the same factory, so it's the same unit but badged differently.

[Jaytee]

Good bit of kit the Das-6 mate iv got the kestral with the menzerna polishes. Really good finish it gives mate. As for people saying £240 is too much for cleaning gear. i would go as far as saying i could easily spend a shit lot more than that. Have fun tomorrow luke.

[Predator_R32]

the hose thing is crap luke should of at least bought a gilmour ;)

everything else looks good ugh, im needing some new stuff soon i think, wash mitt i need for sure, some degreaser and snow foam too but im gonna get it from NE detailing from now on

Plus if i get this new job then im setting up machine polishing on weekends for a bit extra income :y:

Nothing wrong with this one mate, not paying £50 for a Gilmour when it practically does the same job - waste of money IMO.

Could of always get it from me ;)

[Ferg]

Ohhh nice ... Sorry I didn't read it properly. It looks absolutely identical as well.

Happy with all the bits then?

[Predator_R32]

Get what exactly lol im not that way luke ive told ya lol

you probablies could buy a pressure washer and lance for 50 i suppose, i got my gilmour in a group buy was about 34 quid with adaptor for hose iirc

[Luke]

So far yes, haven't managed to get the backing plate onto the polisher though? Probably me being stupid.

I had a play about with some products earlier, quite liked the snow foam (smelt nice) and the Carlack Shampoo was great.

[Jamie]

Nice kit.. i need some more stuff now lol

[Aly]

This made me lol glenn ;)

[Luke]

Pictures coming now.

Put the backing plate on top ... Then with the little spanner thing ... Hold onto the metal thing which turns round, so you stop it spinning ... Then screw the back plate on by hand and bob's you're uncle.

Hope that helps lol ...

[Luke]

Already done it mate, didn't realise it was the cap on the thread ;).

See other thread matey.
