    Lettering fading away?

    Id say so. I use it three times a year tops when I strip all the old crap (tar, iron, sap etc, wax, sealants) off the car, polish and reprotect. Go to morrisons/wilko and buy some wonder wheels hot wheels. It's a dedicated wheel cleaner with mild fallout removers. £4ish for 750 ml Or or go to...

    I do about three big cleans a year, strip everything off, polish and reprotect. Then maintenance washes in between. for that mileage I think you'd get away with doing it before and after winter.

    Half arsed thread but good job. I was wondering what the car was earlier. Good effort on the leather :)

    Lettering fading away?

    But you say you only iron x and tyre shine? Every wash? You know iron x isn't a wheel cleaner, right? And prolonged exposure can make wheels porous to an extent? So the damaged transfer may be the least of your worries

    Horror

    +1 i keep telling my gf my gfs he's stupid for doing this. It's very dangerous and irresponsible IMO. Sorry it's happened op, I know you weren't to know and it's a massive shame. How are the insurance handling the 'I stopped on a main road' side of it?

    Good effort, glad you got to use the desire :D you should've accidentally hit that turbo sticker with the polisher and pulled them off :o soooo many exclamation marks though! :p

    Cheap swirl spotting torch? found this in homebargains for £11/12. I thought I'd give it a go. as mine and the gfs cars are too dirty/swirl free to spot swirls with it, I took to the black panel in the gfs civic and the fridge. Hopefully Chi will bring me something I can test it properly on...

    Gordini striping

    I really don't mind the stripes on any shape, as long as it's racing blue. The Albi blue they used on the mk3 gordinis is just wrong. As is the black.

    They divide opinions, I like them, others don't. pm n2graphics I'm sure they can make you some, they're just strips of vinyl. orrrrr, ask renault Wolverhampton for a quote for the 200 gordini stripes, they have little 'G's embossed into them and would look cool on a 182

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Ah, I see. Before spreading the polish on a low speed do you dot the pad around (without it rotating) on the panel? I do this but when cleaning the pad I noticed quite a bit of polish had seeped into the pad. I understood the theory of the zenith technique and liked the results it gave so...

    Autosmart tardis is really all you need. There are other products about but I've never felt the need to switch. And most people regard it as the best tar remover. good good :)

    What are the benefits of removing unbroken down polish? (I'm assuming that's what's happening by spreading it and then removing). Do you just continue that process until the desired finish is achieved? Off the top of my head, it probably varies greatly when I'm doing it but Two vertical and...

    That technique works for me but gally said he uses DAs differently to other people so I was curious. From what I gather you need to break down the polish before it starts to cut, and the highest speed generates the heat for the cut. I may be wrong but doing it all on speed 5 just seems like...

    gally, I thought I'd reply in here with regards to technique. I spread the polish round on speed 3 work it with speed 4.5/5 cut with speed 6 finish at speed 3.5/4 trailing off slower if need be How do you use a DA?
