This fine example of a 182 is owned by a very enthusiastic, budding detailer so was very clean and well cared for but suffering from quite severe swirling, RIDS and various other defects. The agreement was that the owner was to prep the car for me (so no pics of this I'm afraid!!) and I was to...

I recently detailed this Nissan R35 GTR here: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=253296 It has since had a protection film added to it to protect its front end from stone chips but the owner wasn't happy with some of the marks in the film so asked me to take a look at...

Firstly please let me apologise in advance for the poorly edited number plate removal - flickr has changed its editing software and it's not as sophisticated as it was - time to invest is some dedicated software. This RCZ has been very well maintained and in fact has been detailed before by...

Today's job was a simple protection detail on a car which is exactly the same colour/spec as my previous car - RenaultSport Megane R26 in Mercury Silver. The owner has recently invested in pretty much the entire Auto Finesse range from Polished Bliss, so I decided to give the forthcoming Auto...

This detail has been booked in for a while and it's been one I've been very much looking forward to - a Phantom Black Audi A3 2.0T with tasteful modifications such as Porsche Brakes, BBS wheels and coilovers. The car itself was very well kept but suffering from significant swirling, so the aim...

James very kindly sent me some samples of a couple of forthcoming products, a new Glaze for darker colours, and a sealant best applied via DA. A fellow DW Member asked me if I could give his Jeep a quick spruce up this evening, so we literally spent around 2 hours washing it down then going...

Thanks all :) This car has since been into Audi for new brakes and they TFR'd it, so the CR has died! I had it back in tonight briefly to pop some more protection on to it - this time using the new Britemax Vantage wax. I'm impressed to say the least! DSC04464 by RussZS, on Flickr...

This Octavia is owned by the wife of the owner of the Amarok I detailed last weekend and was booked in for a full weekend for a full correction detail as the paint was in a rather bad way, going pink in places and covered in swirl marks and scratches. Unfortunately I somehow managed to take...

I've been looking forward to this one for a LONG time! The owner, a DW member, contacted me late last year to get booked in for one of my ever popular single day Enhancement Details. The car itself is a huge personal favourite of mine - I've loved the V6 ever since it was released on Ph1...

Johnny very kindly had me down for the day today to have a good chinwag and also have a play about with a few existing Zaino bits and some other bits which are currently in development. I arrived at Zaino HQ with a very dirty, looking sorry for itself Golf GTI Edition 30. It was last cleaned...

Well today was supposed to see me getting my hands on an Oyster Grey RenaultSport Megane 250, but there was a change of plan as a new car was being put in its slot by my customer. All I was told was that it was German and 1 of only 450 in Europe... surely not... a 1M!!! It was love at first...

I've been looking forward to this one for a while! A 6.2L V8 Chev Camaro Transformers Edition in 'Bumble Bee Yellow' complete with Transformers touches. There aren't many in this version in the UK, making this a VERY rare car indeed... Some befores: DSC03666 by RussZS, on Flickr...

The Focus ST500 is a limited edition run of 500 pre facelift Focus ST's, each loaded with equipment including scarlet leather Recaro seats, Xenon headlights, sat nav, rain-sensing wipers and limited edition decals. This particular example was without its decals and had seen some paint on its...

I've been looking forward to doing one of these amazing cars for a while now as it's a personal favourite of mine and something I'd love to own within the next year or so, so getting to detail one was a true pleasure. This particular GTR has been extensively modified, and is running around the...

I've been looking forward to this one for a while - ever since I met the owner late last year at a photoshoot. This beast is running about 380bhp and is in superb condition, but was suffering from severe fallout and quite a lot of swirling and hologramming so it was booked in for an MCC Single...

Miss MCC (Milly) recently bought a new car - a Mini Cooper in Pepper White with Chilli Pack. The car is in decent condition but the paintwork needed a bit of love so we spent today giving it a quick clean up and some protection... DSC02786 by RussZS, on Flickr DSC02785 by RussZS, on...

It's getting mightily chilly out there! It was only 2 degrees this morning! Today's car was a rather lovely Red Ford Focus ST3, which has been treated to a bit of Mountune love. It was also the owners Birthday today, so I was keen to pull out all the stops to make sure the detail helped...

Today saw me breathe a bit of life back into a stunning Daytona Grey Audi TTRS. This particular TTRS is in fact Milltek's ex-Demo Car, as seen in this vid: Audi TT RS with Milltek Sport Racing Exhaust System - YouTube The owner picked this up from a TT Specialist a couple of weeks ago...

Forgive me, for I have sinned! I've not touched my car since my time down with Kelly@KDS in December, and it was looking a little sorry for itself so I spent today giving it a bit of love and adding some protection to it. DSC02338 by RussZS, on Flickr DSC02320 by RussZS, on Flickr...

Great addition IMO!! http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/zymol-wax/cat_115.html

This was my first detail of 2012, and what a challenge it was! This car recently went into a local main dealer for some warranty work and came out a little worse for wear after being attacked with TFR and a gritty sponge, so today saw me remove their 'hard work' and also address most of the...

James from Auto Finesse very kindly asked me along to help along with prep'ing a few cars and setting up shop for the AutoSport International Show. I managed to grab a couple of pics of some cars on display, some we quickly cleaned (very strict restriction on water in place!!) and some of the...

5am isn't an hour of the day I see very often, but my alarm was set for that time this morning to give me plenty of time to drive down to a very chilly Gillingham... DSC01421 by RussZS, on Flickr I'm very lucky to be down at Kelly's for a few days, mainly for one-to-one tuition...

Unfortunately this isn't a full write up (yet) as I have misplaced the memory card with the first part of the detail on (washing stages), so I only have a few pics of the correction work and a few quick 'afters' to show people how Desire looks on black. Please excuse the current state of my...

It sure is getting nippy out there, but at least the snow hasn't descended upon the Midlands just yet, unlike this time last year! This morning saw me travelling across to Norton Canes, near Cannock, Staffs, to cleanse and protect this sexy Golf R in Candy White ahead of its imminent sale...

Today saw me travel to a sunny but chilly Shrewsbury to Lee@BespokeCarCare's unit, to meet my mate Dale and spend some time giving his recently acquired R26.R some love ahead of it being put to bed for Winter. The aim of the day was to restore a bit of life into the paint and lay down some...

It's certainly getting colder out there, and foggier, it was insanely foggy here last night and it was still lingering quite heavily this morning. Today's car was a Megane R26 in Silver - a carbon copy of my own previous car - in for some decontamination and some protection for Winter. I knew...

This is my last ever write up from home, as I've been able to secure a dedicated unit which I'm moving into a week on Monday, all being well. I can't wait to have everything at hand and some decent drainage... its very frustrating detailing at home due to a wonky drive and distance to my...

Today saw me travel to a very cold Cradley Heath to restore a bit of life into the paint on this very rare, Fiesta Super Sport 1300. The car itself is in superb condition, but has been re-painted quite recently and was covered in holograms and swirl marks. It's being exhibited at the Classic...

The owner of this car originally came to see me a few weeks ago, a few days after parts of his car had been resprayed, concerned at the severity of the swirling and hologramming present on his 'fresh out of the bodyshop' paint! It was a pretty bright day, and I could see it was in a bit of a...
