Well today I done RAF_Kev's VTS, wrong weather! Went through 2 pints of water while doing it and the sweat was dripping off me.. i'm so unfit

Products used;
AG Shampoo
AG SRP
AG High Def Wax
AG Bumper care
AG Tar remover
AG Custom wheel cleaner
AG Fast glass
AG Autofresh
AG interior shampoo
AH plastic and vinyl care
Megs drying towels
Megs applicator pads

First time using the AG tar remover and imo it was crap. Anybody have a good product they use?

Before;

After;
(should have took more really but was roasting)

looks good, did you find that the AG bumper care sort of melted in the sun after you had applied it?

MrHouston^p · 2nd July 2009, 18:54

Well it never melted but sort of evaporated but i'm guessing that was due to the heat

Looks good mate. Just because you were on the autoglym stand, you don't have to use their products all the time

.

IMO - more gear to improve the look: -

For the wheels - get some Bilberry wheel cleaner off cleanyourcar http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels.../prod_499.html. Seriously, seriously good stuff! Get some spray bottles though too, as its much better to apply/dilute. Probs get them from a DIY place for pennies.

Or maybe try Megs Wheel Brightner (only comes in a 5L container though iirc).

Try CG Strong wash (I use it pre-wash, seems to get bugs and stuff off really easy - as well as tar spots).

Think you'll get better results from wheels/bug removal with them ^^. Does look a lot better now though - good job!

Looks good, serious mess before hand, I find ag tar remove is pretty good. Could try some as tardis have honly heard good things ab out it.

MrHouston^p · 2nd July 2009, 19:00

I'm happy with the AG products especially the wheel cleaner so will stick to them for now, the products i'm not happy with i will find alternatives for such as the tar remover, bumper care etc just trial and error really =D

Yep, thats also supposedly really good. Again it only comes in 5L containers though? I'm going to buy some though to see what its like.

jamiemackie · 2nd July 2009, 19:06

Yeah only comes in big containers but if your doing other peoples cars it will be worth it, not mega expensive either iirc

Roj · 2nd July 2009, 23:59

AS Tardis is a good tar remover. looks good though

yeah water must have been drying at the opposite side before you could reach it, such a ball ache

saxo_ron · 3rd July 2009, 07:49

black trim on front bumper doesnt look like product has been evenly applied. But thats me being very very picky.

Huge improvement from the befores

MrHouston^p · 3rd July 2009, 09:31

yeahh as mentioned that was due to the heat, soon as i applied it bits were sort of evaporating straight away >.<

Proffitt · 3rd July 2009, 09:34

I seen this car in Wirrla when i was working there. Forgot to put it up on the 'Have you been stopped' thread!

Good work there Elliot

Someone told me Petrol is a good tar remover...wipe on, wiper straight back off.

I am trying the Tar Remover and the bumper care this weekend LOL

Jamie · 3rd July 2009, 11:31

Petrol and a naked flame Raz!

Looking good mate

Predator_R32^p · 3rd July 2009, 11:42

AG tar remover should be applyed by dabbing it on and elft for a good 5 minutes, come back put some more on a microfibre cloth and rub it off

only other good thing is tardis and claybar

Ashleyp · 3rd July 2009, 18:41

AG ftl, having used most products, i dont rate any in comparison to others on the market for the same / similar prices
