RE storage, I keep it sealed in the buckets with the lids on. Keeps crap out etc etc.
+1 for sheeting the water with an open-hose first though.. if your car is well protected, there should be very little water remaning afterwards.
Good work, Dan.
Did you polish it afterwards? With claying, you can sometimes (quite easily in some conditions..) induce 'marring' into the paint. Not a problem as often a mildy abrasive polish will follow which will clear them up no problems.. To help minimize the risk of doing so, keep the...
If you've never done it before, then, yes! You'll be amazed at the difference it makes. When you applied the Jeffs Prime (by hand applicator presumably?!), did you notice it 'dragged' a little?! Maybe a few areas were a bit 'rough' to touch!?
Over the years, 'kack' falls on the car, and, welds...
;), theres a DB9 tucked away somewhere, too. In passing convo, he did suggest having a little protection job done on that, too (a nice one for the ever-growing portfolio! :) )
I used to work for their company - thats how I know them. Good of them to keep in touch and support me, eh! (four years...
S**t load of cars mate lol.
Managed to hint about a Maintenance Plan before I left last night - fingers crossed.
Wait, theres more! Monday and Tuesday this coming week, I have the son-in-law's (BLACK!) BMW X5 to do, too. lol
Mercedes-Benz S-320 CDi
After completing both the black 650i Cabriolet and the black GL420 CDi, the Father of the household wanted his (yes, you guessed it) BLACK S-Class doing. This time going through a single-stage machine correction..
Previous BMW and Mercedes report’s found here...
Nice to see the Jeffs kit being used Jonni. Is it the first time you've used it, or, are you a regular user?!
Have you clayed the car before?
Oh, and, your tax is due! :o:(
Ive actually been approached by DiamondBrite.. I met the local sales guy for a chat, they'd "like to appear on my website". heh..
They're not the best products really. Personally, I'd invest in a nice pot of wax and protect it yourself.
DB claim '6 years protection'.. That's rubbish! Every...
Morning all,
Boosh, you're not kidding. It doesn't help that I decided to get back into the gym last night either! (back and bi's lol)
You'd be looking at the £400 mark for a full correction job; this was only a 'once-round enhancment'. Full correction would require double the time, and...
Contains Micro-abrasives, yes. Probably on par with 85RD; what do you think, Russ?!
So long as you work it well and for long enough, you're laughing. Personally, I wouldn't like to have to use it by hand anymore!
Speaking on Limeprime, The Boosh, check this thread I have just posted - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=6548748#post6548748
Russ, I never knew DC2 was #7! I knew it was a pure polish and all, but, heh! :)
Here's one for you - a good insight as to what a pre-wax cleanser has to offer if used to its utmost! :approve:
BMW 650i Cabriolet – Enhancement and Protection with LTT Interior Detail
I first saw this car ~2 week ago whilst working on the Mercedes GL420.. Ever since, I’ve been looking...
Much better cleaners, polishes and wax's available on the market.. Not a bad starter kit, but, have a look around online. See what you can find.

Hi guys, thanks for this! I have registered but am awaiting activation so I'll be back! :)
*off to carry on show-prep work on a 90' G60 Corrado*
...urgh!
Again, thanks all!
EDIT - the BMW is a 650 too, Cliotoby. Not a 635 lol. (Ive just been told off by the owner!)
Still, have some dates pencilled in for it, so, watch this space! :)
Will do, Cliotoby.
Thanks - shame about the crap about the lettering though.. wish I'd revisited that area now tbh.
Richy, Limeprime, yep. Just an Enhancement detail. Owner has mentioned about 'the works' nearer the Summer time though.. (care to lend a hand? :approve:)
Hi all - a big black bus for you to check out. (get a brew, its a long read!)

Oh my! What a vehicle. This is about the size of my house.. It’s ginormous! With that in...
Hi all, not the most in-depth or exciting report this, but, I thought I'd better share due to the nature of the car. Thanks!
1989 Toyota Supra MKIII 3.0 Turbo – 50k miles. Owned since 1990! Enhancement and Protection Detail.
I’ve been looking forward to this one… I first saw the car...
Thanks all. I've since learnt that the problems I was having was caused by Supaguard believe it or not.. The enhance work I did was fine, as, this contains abrasives and cut straight through. The Winter Prep though is just a paint cleaner; this didn't get on too well with the SG sealant.. almost...

Thanks again all :) My fingers ACHE today; must have been from the fiddely wheels when applying/removing product.
lol - I don't think I was serious. If I sold, ideally, I'd have to buy a van! :dapprove:
Wouldn't mind the RS4 as a second car tho.. :race:
Good spot - indeed. I must say...
You're not kidding Daniel.. visiting some very nice places!
Thanks for the support as always.
BTW - can you edit threads? I've noticed a few duplicated images etc.. can't seem to get back through to them to change :(?!
Audi b7 RS4 Cabriolet – 2008
Winter Protection Detail with full Interior and LTT Leather care.
I’ve been looking forward to this one.. Why? I’m an Audi man myself. I’m now on my fourth :cool: !
Generally, this is a very well looked after vehicle. Mainly used at the weekends...
t'is quite nice! Different anyway; with the suicide style doors and that.. I like the gear-shifter, too. A nice short throw. Being 6"2', I struggled getting in and out though..
Yup - will be passing on the report with a cover letter to the dealership the car was brought from. (chances are, it...
