Use a good quality drying cloth which works a treat. Dry in about 5 mins and leaves no scarmy marks. I bought one from a car show in Corbridge about 3 years ago for £15 and still works like it did on day one.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 10:36 pmI use a pet dryer and a 5m extension hose for something like a Henry hoover or similar from eBay. Think it cost me something like £75 total

Nanu, do you know what make it is? I’ve been looking at a 1400mg one from EZNanu wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 8:09 pmUse a good quality drying cloth which works a treat.

Just checked and it has no labels. Sorry.
All I can say is that it’s blue, feels quite spongy and has pockets at each end for your hands

What he said.idej_z4 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 10:35 amCarbon Collective isn't professional-grade, but it is the one I use. Most professional-grade coatings require more in the application.
I'm very happy with the results from the CC stuff. Lasts 2-3 years easily and is also very simple to apply in terms of the process. A bottle will set you back £50-60 I think and it is more than enough to do a Zed. I usually put a second coat on the bumper and bonnet as these get the most weathering / impact.
In regards to maintenance products I would use their own branded shampoos and quick detailers.
If you do fancy an alternative however, I would recommend Gyeon Bathe + as a shampoo and Gyeon Wet Coat or their Ceramic Detailer as an LSP.

Nope, they're still operating. Not sure if the mods allow links to be posted but I just googled them and they came up.Alan Crook wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 5:43 pm Has Epic car care stopped now, cant find them online and local to me.
