Bootlid..
Nice pics!

Careful that you don’t get any reflections of the photographer in your pictures, the car is beautifully shiny and we don’t want a repeat of the ‘kettle for sale’ urban legend.

We have very similar tastes.

Some of my favourite detailing products include:

Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate
Mint Lube
Dodo Juice Supernatural Wax (I've not tried the hybrid)
Menzerna Polish (I love this stuff)



.
Yeah
Menzerna is top stuff. It works so well with little effort.

Duragloss wheel cleaner is amazing too. I buy 3.8l container and it lasts the whole year for washing two cars monthly

I use Bowdens products and very impressed with the results. Does anyone else use their products and what are your opinion of them.

I hear of them but have not used it.
Everything i tried by Duragloss and Dodo Juice achieved great results. Duragloss is a bit more affordable....but in sayin that my 200gm container of Dodo Joice wax is still half full after doing 4 full wax jobs.

I use some Bowden’s Own products.

I like the natural finish their Tyre Sheen gives but I find it messy to apply and my hands need a good scrub afterwards. When I finish the bottle I have a bottle of Gyeon Q2 Deep Matt Black Tyre Cleaner to try and if I’m not happy with it I think I’ll go back to wiping the tyres down with 303 Products Aerospace Protectant as it leaves a nice natural finish and is easier to clean from my hands than the Bowden’s.

I also like Bowden’s Own Metal Polish for polishing exhaust tips, chrome and polished alloy as long as it’s already in reasonable nix otherwise I use a paste like Mother’s Mag & Aluminium Polish or Autosol Metal Polish and if it’s a real problem job than a bar of polishing compound with a polishing wheel.

I use Bowden’s Own Clean Detail which I think is good for spot cleaning to quickly remove stuff like bird dropping so the paintwork doesn’t become permanently marked and I keep a bottle of it in all my cars along with a microfiber cloth in case they need an emergency wipe over while I'm out.

I used to use Bowden’s Own Boss Gloss Detailing Spray which I think is a good detailer but have recently been won over by 303 Products Speed Detailer which I think just has the edge over it but in saying that I’ve used a few good detailer over the years and there is not much between them. What I like about the 303 Speed Detailer is the way it easily buffs off to leave a great shine, I think it buffs easier than the others I’ve tried.
