The swirl marks are returning though.

Been so careful with it as well. Two bucket method, lambswool mitt, good quality cleaning products, poorboys waffle weave towels.

Got one of those

The neighbours think I'm nuts with the amount of time I spend cleaning it anyway, they'll ring the asylum to come and collect me if they see me blow drying my car!

I know it's what the "pro's" use though.

to a certain extent you'll always get a little swirl action returning. Only way to avoid it is with a complete no touch approach in a vacum sealed room.

wonder if we could get a gb on leaf blowers?

Talking about leaf blowers.
I have a Black & Decker one but its quite loud on either setting but does do a good job of drying the car.

Question: is there such a thing as a quiet(er) leaf blower ?

Right about time i got this sorted out. Sorry for the delay but i've been trying to get us better products. I am pleased to announce that we can now get the Dodo range of products for regular orders. I'll draw up a list with prices and then we can get things moving

I've also been looking at the blowers. The silverline ones are more of a tool for getting the water out from door handles, window rubbers, around lights etc. What i was thinking of was a more hands off drying approach and going for a bigger unit so that you can dry the whole car. This will inflict for less swirling but is for the hardcore detailers amoungst us.

Matt,

I'm interested in the leaf blower (price dependent) and a tub of SuperNatural. Along with some more applicators.... mine are looking a little ropey.

Dodo make some Can still get the PB stuff as well

So do I I don't use a gazebo anymore because of the trouble when it gets breazey Hopefully I'll get it washed down and clayed before it gets too warm. A little heat helps with the polish side of things though, but too much makes it clump. There are tricks of the trade though to get round this

Four would be super .

Would you like me to do a bank transfer (so money up front) or cash when I pick up? I don't mind either way.

Looking forward to trying the SN... I assume it will go over the Blackfire okay?
