DEFO NOT A REPOST... lol :) I've just realised something - this is the 30th RenaultSport I've detailed over the past 3 years, so in familiar territory today with a Glacier White Clio 197 Cup. The car itself looked in great condition, but assessing the paintwork up close, there was a LOT of...

It's getting nippy out there folks! This morning saw me spend 4 hours or so decontaminating, then protecting the paintwork on this rather nice VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI. The aim of the day was to clean the paintwork as best as possible in the time given and lay some protection down for Winter, to...

Me again! Having more of a play with my new camera and I must say I'm astounded by the difference between this and my Pana TZ6, particularly with taking pictures in anything but natural daylight. All pics were taken in Auto mode Car was washed today and topped with CQuartz ReLoad. I have...

Today saw me travel to a surprisingly sunny Shrewsbury, to BespokeCarCare's rather impressive Detailing Studio, to spend the day performing what was supposed to be an enhancement detail to a Candy White Mk5 Golf GTI. The Golf itself is owned by a friend (Craig) of my friend (Al) who owns the...

It's getting nippy out there folks! This morning saw me spend 4 hours or so decontaminating, then protecting the paintwork on this rather nice VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI. The aim of the day was to clean the paintwork as best as possible in the time given and lay some protection down for Winter, to...

I was supposed to be spending today prep'ing my mates Megane 250 for its imminent sale, but he couldn't get a lift back home and back over, so I decided to offer my mate Greg some love on his VW Bora. I wanted to have a play with Auto Finesse Glide and a few other new bits, so it seemed the...

Repost fail!!!! Haha :rasp:

I actually made a start on this car a few weeks ago, but got rained off halfway through :( However, I now have the Megs MF system and Auto Finesse Spirit in my collection, so I could try them out on this rather nice Mondeo Zetec-S... A few befores: P1060312 by RussZS, on Flickr...

I got my Revive through this morning, and will be testing it properly later, on my GF's Ka bumpers, which are in a right state. My own car, a Mk5 Golf, doesn't have a great deal of plastic trim unfortunately, so I decided to test it on the rubber door seals, which I was leaving to do with...

This lovely example of a Lupo GTI belongs to the wife of my mate who owns the 5 door Golf GTI 'show car' which I detailed a few months ago (its won a few awards this season - congrats Al :thumb:) The car itself is in generally very good condition for a 10 year old car, but the flat black paint...

My recent addiction to purchasing Auto Finesse products of late, resulted in another delivery of them today from James and Sian. I must say, the level of service was outstanding (arrived at 8:30am, the day after ordering!) and the order was very well packed and well presented. Nice business...

Today saw me breathing a bit of life into this 17 year old Porsche 911 Carrera. The car is owned by my mates Dad, who is selling it after 13 years of ownership, so wanted it sprucing up a bit, before its sale. I'd seen the car a couple of times before, so new the paint was a bit neglected -...

Wow, what a day! I left my house at 7:15 this morning, and got in at 21:00! I'm shattered! Luckily, I still have enough energy for a write up, so here goes... Today saw me travel to a deceptively sunny (based on my BURN!) Rugby, to restore some life back into the paintwork of this VERY...

I did this car a couple of weekends ago, on what must have been one of the windiest days of the year, so had to battle with constant debris falling from the over hanging tree! It was also the first VAG that I've attempted to correct 'in a day' and it's probably my last - with hard German paint...

Today saw me nervously travel to a not very sunny Wolverhampton, with my fingers firmly crossed that the rain would stay away, so that I could spend the day giving this beautiful GTI a bit of love. As ever with lighter cars, the difference isn't as obvious as a swirly black car, especially...

First up, apologies for the quality of these pictures, my camera seems to struggle somewhat with taking pics indoors, which has really annoyed me for this detail, as the car looked stunning at the end (modest I know, lol!). If anyone could recommend a better camera for indoors, I'm all ears. I...

I spent today getting burnt to a crisp whilst tidying up my mates dads Golf GTI. I agreed to help clay it to get the tree sap and crap off it, but ended up doing my best to deswirl it in the time I had. It was washed by my mate (AS Shampoo) and left wet for me. I then: - Clayed with...

After a number of glowing reviews on here, and having played with some mightily impressive samples of polishes etc kindly provided by Chris/Waxamomo, I decided to buy the Wolf Chemicals Body Wrap and Shine & Seal combo from Waxamomo (great service as ever Chris, thanks mate!). I spent some...

Today I was expecting a nice easy, quick correction detail - yet another RenaultSport (have I done the most in the country by now?), so very familiar territory for me. Today's example was a car I've never done before - a DCI 175, but in a colour I know very well, Deep Black, the same as my...

Please tell me that's standard!! I normally pull a few cars on 182's, but you were going nowhere!! Russ.

The aim for this car, was to improve its appearance as much as possible with a day (7-8 hours or so), with a view to correcting as many of the defects and swirling as possible. The car itself was a Mk5 Golf R32 is the stunning Deep Pearl Blue colour. Here is the car after I shortly arrived...

Today saw me return to Birmingham to give this stunning Megane 250 (which I'd done previously in 2010), some love after winter. It's probably one of the heaviest modified 250's out there right now, with Eibach's, FMIC, Remap, Decat and Milltek amongst other mods on it already. Right then...

Wednesday saw me near Redditch to give some love to this lovely RenaultSport Clio 200 Cup, in the stunning Storm Grey colour! The car itself was a few weeks old, but the 'dealer prep' left a lot to be desired and the car was already quite swirly, and covered in industrial fallout and tar...

Today saw me travel to a (luckily!) Sunny Stoke for an Enhancement Detail on this rather lovely Jaguar XK8 (4.2 litres of V8 goodness!) The car itself was in superb condition generally, but was covered in tree sap, particularly on the roof, and needed a general tidy up/cleanse. Some...

I love this stuff, look at the wheels!! P1030331 by RussZS, on Flickr P1030321 by RussZS, on Flickr P1030340 by RussZS, on Flickr P1030308 by RussZS, on Flickr Write up coming later... Russ.

Today saw me spend 5 hours giving my mates Mini Cooper S GP a thorough cleanse ready for Winter, and getting some protection on it. I'd actually never seen a GP in the flesh before - what a car!! It's magnificent to look at and work on, and the spoiler in particular looks the part. I also...

I finally got my Megane back from Renault on Friday afternoon, following a failed starter motor. The final bill was £1300, but Renault UK paid the majority, so I was left with a bill of £250. On Saturday, I took my car to get its tyres checked, and it turned out that my front pair had...

So, I've never really been happy with the silver centre section of my dash - it has always been covered in a weird coating which refused to be cleaned up fully. My 'mate' had a go at doing it too, which resulted in this lovely black mark!! Not good! So, it's either buy a new one...

Been looking forward to this one!! Anyone else getting a pot? Russ.

So the aim of Saturday was to bring a bit of life back into this tired looking, 150,000 mile Skoda Fabia vRS, which my friend had recently purchased. It was also being used as a test car for some new products in my collection. A few befores: So, on to the wash process, which...
