I've just used my Bowdens bucket

Ymir · 18-05-2008, 11:42 AM

Yesterday I did the XW and this morning I did the AU.

When we bought it I was a little cynical. Like everyone, I've used lots of different products. However, I'm agreeably surprised.

I'd forgotten what the actual shade of white the XW actually is - it had "yellowed" a little. The AU is much better, with the paint returned to the glass look.

I'll write more for the Club newsletter, but suffice to say I'm very impressed.

Cheers

good to hear, i know allan was thinking of getting one of the bucket packs at some stage, once the housing situation is all sorted i'd like to give their produsts a go too. what products did you try out- just the wash or wash and polish?

Ymir · 18-05-2008, 09:36 PM

Wash, paint cleanser, wax, wheel cloth, glass cleaning cloth, washing mitt etc.

Just the spray detail to go.

I wrote my review today, but will send it to you once I've used the detail spray (Body Detailer).

Cheers

I whole-heartedly recommend the products. I was cynical, but I'm a believer!

well i cant wait to see your car on friday !

v8falconsrule · 19-05-2008, 08:41 PM

mybe we should look at doing a demonstration for club members sometime? if enough people are interested then we could do a group buy, save on postage and members can save up for when the order gets placed?

i'm sure someone would gladly volunteer their car to be a test subject (i could think of one yellow beetle which is always happy for a free wash) - i'm sure many members would be interested i seeing how good these products are to use.

Actually, Helen's AU came up a treat and it's silver - different shade of course.

I just bought the super size bucket from Bowdens for both my GT's as well.
$200 couriered to my front door the next day.
Dan Bowden is a champion, and quite an entheusiast. I chatted to him for nearly an hour about their collection.
I have only tried all the stuff on my new GT, everything bar the detail spray as well.
I will say I didn't enjoy doing the clense or wax, but the results are magic.
Even the car wash alone made the car shine.

I did a test run with the car wash only on one of my other cars thats been out in the weather for the last few months, and it looked dull and washed out. It even brought that one out and shiny. Looked like it had been washed and scrubbed and polished, and that was just the wash, wash mit, chamois, tyre cloth and glass cloth..

To say I am impressed would be an understatement. It turned my Silouette GT into somthing resembling liquid gloss.....

Ymir · 21-05-2008, 08:36 AM
