As above, cars come with it from factory most of the time. Just a poor paint process. See Russ' thread on his visit to KDS. There is a lot of skill in wet sanding - certainly not for the faint-hearted!

This is the correct answer tbh. What do you want from a tyre shine product? If you'll only use it for shows, AG Tyre Shine is a water based product and will give a good shine for a few hours. And is cheap. Megs Endurance is OK. Detailers don't use it that often purely because, as Tobias has...

Disagree. I know people that still use it on their wheels. Usual story of proper planning and prep etc. To add to the list above, Meg's Hyper Wash and GWash from GTechnic.

Looks great matey - just not keen on the rear tints?

It is. Even from photos it's evident. My old clio had the same issue.

You're right. 280 is utter toss.

Yes it is.

Lovely!

None. End thread?

To make more money out of those that they can dupe into thinking there is a difference. Not applicable in this case, but it happens.

Re: My Trophy detail That's the depth, not how hard the paint is...

One careful owner, this has never happened before, no mods, there was oil on the road...

Give a damn if you're not a detailer, it looks superb, Ian.

Re: My Trophy detail Well in that case I am amazed! Renault must be taking tips from Audi/BMW these days!

Wrong thread/internet site, Tony.

Because the shoe shine is £2. Not disagreeing with you - just getting into the OPs frame of mind.

Re: My Trophy detail Lovely - not taking anything away from the finish, but FCP on a cutting pad via rotary?? Was that harsh a polish required?? I got away with a DA and a medium to light polish on most Renaults I detailed, sometimes having to move to Menz IP, but not that often...

It's not as stupid as it sounds. The "squeezy shoe polish things" actually contain silicon, to make the leather surface appear shiny. It is not much different from cheap silicon valet products, so could, in theory, be used. However, it will make dust cling to it and be greasy to the touch. So...

Work from home. What do I win?

Sim molar?

So was midlands originally his and you're taking over, Russ? Good news for you if so. An already setup detailing studio and location... Lovely!

You'll go blue colour blind chap! Looks very glossy, I like the look of that car as well, nice subtle mods, simple but effective.

Appreciates your talent then, Russ! Those exhausts were caked with carbon - I would have actually enjoyed using Mercury on them, it's such a superb metal cleaner.

Darker cars, how about flat colour Russ? My Red Moose is coming to an end, so wondering what to replace it with...

Hi. Meh.

You can't. As has been stated above. Most detailers roll the car they've finished and lightly apply the brakes before taking photos.

Brake Cleaner?

Precisely.

And yet... ;)

BioBrisk would be the best product, in my opinion. It depends on the severity of the staining of course. Make sure, whatever you use, you test an inconspicuous area first, to check the material is colour fast.
