Default Re: Car Detailing - What products are your go to?

My 5-liter Trace-less and Touch-less v2 arrived today.

Bilt Hamber Trace-Less
Bilt Hamber Trace-Less Super Wetting Glass Cleaner - Detailing Shed

Bilt Hamber Touch-Less Pre-Wash
Bilt Hamber Touch-Less V2 Snow Foam Pre Wash - Detailing Shed



I gave Trace-less a quick whirl, it certainly has a strong solvent aroma peppered with a scent, and it flashes away to a streak free finish with minimal towel effort.

Quote:
Use on interior and exterior glass plus acrylic, and infotainment screens. Safe on tinted glass, mirrors, spectacles and hard glazed surfaces. Only use clean lint-free cloths free of detergents and fabric conditioners – these will cause smearing.
For Touch-less v2, its double the concentration and will require me to recalculate the panel impact ratio match my pressure washer and foam cannon outputs.

Dog hair. How do I deal with a lot of dog hair?
I’m buying a cheap Hyundai i30 that got traded in at work. I was looking for a cheap third rainy day/shopping cart for times the Dark Horse needs to stay home. Besides the front bumper paint peeling off it’s pretty straight.
But the interior is quite a mess. There’s a lot of rubbish everywhere and a lot of dog hair. What’s the best method to remove it?
Will it just vacuum up? Do I use a brush on a drill? Do I comb it up somehow?
I’m actually looking forward to this little restoration project.

You will get it eventually by vacuuming alone, but it will be long and tedious. A couple of "helpers" I have discovered -

Lily Brush (or similar) - these are rubber combs that help drag the pet hair into a single point, you can the suck it up with the vac. I have the Lily Brush, but Detail Factory have a range of them now.............on special now at the moment too.

Fur-reel - This is a vacuum attachment that has rubber prongs that grab the hair out of the carpet as you vac. Again, they "help".

Quick Detailer - this works as an anti-static agent. I use Paint Gloss, but any non-protective quick detailer will do (think Boss Gloss, Megs Last Touch ect). Simply mist onto the surface you are vacuuming, again, use with the above for the full effect.
