Oh and thanks to my special little helper again - Ste Burns x

Nope mate, the day job pays too well lol. Just weekends.

Note to self - don't forget to take your lance for your pressure washer to a detail. Oh and don't knock the owners' pressure washer over after being very kindly loaned it... oh dear, not a good start... Anyway, on to the detail... yes, another RenaultSport :D I'm getting the hang of...

This is true, but luckily he's a published photographer with 15 year's experience. We should have them later today. Cheers for the comments folks :) Russ.

No mate, doesn't pay well enough! I just had to use some holiday from work, so it made sense the week before Trax to fit some cars in. I do honestly enjoy doing it.

This has been the most tiring week of my life tbh lol I don't give my own car as much love as I have these others recently. I'll be sticking to 1-2 cars per week from now on though. Got to keep standards high! The biggest PITA is washing towels and pads.

Don't forget your £1.50 for the Cornetto and Coke x One more to go before Trax - got a Red 197 to do tomoz!

Thanks folks :) He has them faded over the roof too, they look great. The car got soooo much attention from passers by.

Indeed she is. Some pics taken with £2k's worth of DSLR are on their way :)

Today's detail was on a rather tasty looking Frozen White Fiesta ST. The owner James has a great detailing collection, but most of it was still sealed, so it hadn't seen much love in a while. In general, the car was quite dirty, and covered in dead insects and general grime: I...

JD, that's DaveKG, the polishing MASTER! I'll let him know about his thumb placement for you ;) Matt is far more beautiful.

Buy a black car dude and see - longest I've gone is about 4 months, but it's a nightmare! Blue's cheating ;)

It's normally pretty sweet on a Thursday tbh, but that's because I'm perving after everyone 10 years younger than me ;)

Indeed Your 901 should be here in the morning bud. Can you let me know about the cards too please :)

You're in good hands there bud - Kev's work is spot on :) Cheers, Russ.

I don't know why people are so scared of them tbh. What did you think of the DAS-6 when you used it? It's totally killer on your hands after 30 mins or so, especially if you're working it hard. Rotary is so much smoother

That's a good idea tbh Alex - I've been machine polishing for over two years in total, and learning what works well with what and when does take a fair amount of time to understand - experience makes a massive difference. Yours will be easy to maintain now, with just a light cleanse every 6...

Cheers Tay. I quite like the glossy look too - it was either that or the slightly sharper 'sealanty' look from something like Britemax, but I'm chuffed with the SuperNatural.

Sorted, he'll no doubt be trying to hold my hand the entire day, so I should be easy to find x

You going Trax? It's going to cost you a Cornetto and a can of Coke I'm afraid.

I had a quick stab at Lora's a while back and it was a pig. Needed 3.02 and a cutting pad...

I don't think it matters too much if you'll be correcting anyway...

What's all this DA talk? You bunch of girls :)

Don't use MF pads with 1000P, it's a pig to spread on those. Go foam baby!

The Plant Polish nails the Poorboys IMO - awesome stuff! Thanks for the kind words Alex - happy to do your Mum's motor when she's ready :) Cheers for the help with the cards too.

SN is pretty good - will last 3 months without trouble :) Especially from 2 layers. Plus, he'll no doubt top it up with something anyway

Thanks JD. I didn't think I'd ever enjoy owning and detailing a silver car, but it's nice to have something a little forgiving. My R27 is a nightmare :(

Today's detail was on a silver Clio Dynamique, with some very tasteful mods, notably the lowering springs and the RenaultSport front grille. The owner, Alex, a member on here, had obviously looked after this paint, and had already washed, clayed and dried it for me before I arrived. I was...

23MPG :)

There's only one way to leave KFC ;) LOL! Looking forward to doing a sexy silver number tomorrow :) Thanks guys
