Thanks guys
Martijn, as it was a mid-tone solid colour, I went with Jeffs Werkstat Jett Trigger which is a sealant as opposed to a wax.. info RE it can be foind on PolishedBliss' website :)
Paint thickness removal was minimal really; on the areas where I had to bumped up to a two-stage machine...
Hi all.
From one extreme to the other! Harpham's brand firing Clio 200 Cup to this 50 year old cat. Enjoy...
Jaguar mk2 3.4 – 1961
A little bit of history on the mk2 Jag courtesy of Wikipedia.
“The Jaguar Mark 2 is a medium sized saloon car built from 1959 to 1967 by the Jaguar company...
My go to pads are the 3M set at the minute if Im honest.. Hexlogic comes in occasionally, more so with their spot pads, but usually, it's the 3M yellow polishing followed by a black or blue finishing. Can't go wrong.

Hi all,
lol @ the "Where's JimWD" thread. Yeah, about that...
I've been without the internets since Dec 31st. "Why?" Communication error between TalkTalk and BT. At this rate, we're not likely to have the line back until late Feb. This day and age, it's ridiculous.. But anyway, here I am...
Thanks mate.
Toby K?
Keith has given my details to a few of his friends, not a bad list of cars lined up now! :)
(I'm still without my own internet (hense not being very active and uploading recent reports) Currently, I am sat at my sisters house using her laptop and stealing her internet...
Hi all...
Let me know what you think to this vid. It's my first 'compilation' like this and looking forward to documenting my next big job in a similar way (more video footage hopefully).
There are one or two bits I'm not happy with (speed of some of the transitions later on, and, the small...
North West?
Jonny @ PureDetail.
http://www.puredetail.co.uk/
Got a couple of others up there that I've passed on to Jonny, if the numbers are good, I'll probably spend a couple of days up there and help.
Merry Christmas all.
Bugger. We're not allowed to do presents until after dinner - how rubbish is that!!?
Martijn, yeah, the Manual focus override thng is quite smart - nice package all round really. I brought the "Nikkor" AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens to go with it.
The Aston was difficult...
*brr*
A last minute booking this morning for a Refresh Detail as part of a maintenance contact in place with a local AM DB9. Here's to hoping we're not looking at -5/-8 degrees again as I don't fancy turning the Aston into an ice-cube.
Leeds2592, is your car well protected? You can see it...
Well spotted Chris - you're not wrong! I did write a little bit about the respray work on the N/S; you obviously just checked the pictures! ;)
Ha! Awesome. Was it morning or early evening? It'd have been Tuesday - this is when I was up in Preston with the S2000.
Volkswagen MKV Golf GTi – Shadow Blue. Minor Correction.
Having only owned the car for 10 days, the owner searched for ‘Detailers’ in his area in hope of giving the Golf a lick of protection and a general tidy up. Many recommendations were given on various Volkswagen sites for WhiteDetails...
Honda S2000 – finished in a pearl white…
Having spent three days with Jonny from PureDetail a month or two back down in Sevenoaks, Kent, it was time we caught up again. I was invited to the PureDetail HQ in the North West, the plan was to help out on a correctional detail he had on the go...
Fair points guys - the report has actually gone to the Sales lady that sold my customer the car... It'd be great if I could work some sort of deal with them for the 'special' cars or for those that want a little more than their Supaguard package etc.
Customer testimonial to follow.
BMW e92 320d M-Sport Tourer
Thursday 2nd December, my customer collects his new car (a 2008 e92 320d M-Sport Tourer with 25k on the clocks) from the BMW dealership.
Monday 6th December, the car is handed over to WhiteDetails to give it that ‘like new’ feeling.
Arrangements...
As above, a thumbs up for the VAX 6131 wet/dry extraction machine. Think I paid £99 over a year or so ago (still going strong).
Hear nothing but good things about the numatic kits though - George?
Quiet on the interior works?
Hmm yeah, I suppose. I have had a couple of jobs recently though that I haven't bothered to document.. Much like this Nissan XTrail interior:

Is it just me thats on their 5th/6th EZ brush?
Yes, it is an awesome brush, but, they've GOT to strengthen the 'shaft'. I've had atleast four snap on me now and my Mini-EZ has just done the same! DOH.
Mini - John Cooper Classic – British Racing Green. Winter Protection Detail.
The 90’s classic lives out on the street so it has a fairly tough ‘exposed’ life. It was booked in for a deep clean and Winter Protection Detail to help shield all exterior aspects of the car from the elements...
The owner didn't even know about it! I know what you mean though, the previous owner, he/she who had the repair work done in the first place, MUST have examined the repaired area to check it was OK etc...
I will be the sole person who is allowed to wash this from now, so, no pressure then...
Lots of maintenance work carried out as of late - A new customer and a new car though, so, lets get trigger happy with the camera!
Bentley Continental – Minor Paint Correction Detail
Before being tucked away for the winter, the owner wanted to treat the car seeing as though the last...
