Nice one, when I bought a load of stuff at the Detailing day I'm not sure if I got a discount, I forgot to ask! :(

FLOL, it would probably work as a degreaser I suppose.

Thanks guys. :)

I tried hard to get some 50/50's but it just wasn't happening, swirls were hard to spot under any light, let alone catch on camera!

A friend has just acquired a Mazda RX-8 and asked if I could give it a good going over for him to maintain. It wasn't in a bad condition at all and I was impressed with the paint condition, only a few marks all round, but I had it in on Sunday to do my best. A few before's: Sunshine Silver...

L1 didn't add anything for me, but Treat seemed to make the leather have such a nice texture compared to freshly clean, maybe a placebo? I just meant it's another thing that 'average' people don't know about, like the damage using a sponge with one bucket can cause or leaving bird muck on a...

What is bby and kl? Nice car btw.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? I've got one in my 4S, just wondering how you would go back to a 3GS?

Haha nice one.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? Would make sense, annoying micro-sim won't fit now though, is there an adapter?

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? Demand increases for the 4S at the same time because people know they will be cheaper and they are really good phones.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? Mine's immaculate as well, I'd begrudge giving it away at the same price Billy can get after smearing his jam sandwiches all over it.

I'd like to try some of those leather wipes at some point, but AF hide and Zymol Treat works brilliant for me.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? The 4S 32GB on Envirofone is going for £310, is that regardless of condition and age?

Worked it out! Here's a 50/50 of the Clio leather, shocking really considering it was a well looked-after car. 50/50 leather detail, on Flickr

Tell me about it! I've forgotten how to share flickr photos. :(

It's just another common misconception of car cleaning - it's easier to wear down if it is shiny! The half leather seats in the Clio's feel amazing after a clean and condition.

Re: iPhone 5 this October?? That looks fairly large!

I've never done it, but f**k doing it by hand! (Polishing after sanding)

Gloss. Gloss black wheels make the tyres look dirty otherwise imo.

Ouch. How did you manage that?

If you are looking for a different one, I got hold of one of the Dodo Glass Cloths from Shinearama, Brilliant so far. http://www.shinearama.co.uk/product.php?id=DOD-DJMERKIN FLOL, just realised its a Mint Merkin, I'll buy another at some point.

Nice job, your passenger doesn't look impressed though

Megs ftw, it's a cracker for the money.

You missed a trick, I was applying Wolf's to the new windscreen on the stand while he took my other one off last Sunday. :o Lost my G1!

Ideally yea, but as Gally said, common sense prevails. You shouldn't go attacking notoriously soft or thin paint without one.

Is it not just because you get bored Dave?

EFA. I think the first suggestion with Machine Polishing is to know how much paint you are dealing with!

Knowing average depths for the particular car is key, some BMW's will read as high as 250-300ums and have rock solid paint, where as Mazda's for instance are often sub-100ums with soft paint. You can often measure the thickness of the clear coat (without a clear coat guage) by getting an...
