Had a bit of a play with a black 02 plate 172! Was it you Rob? I can never remember your Reg number!! Russ.

I've never, ever used the 3M range of polishes, so I ordered a sample kit from Elite earlier this week, and spent today getting to grips with them. - FCP: Love this stuff, it sure doesn't muck about! Cuts a lot quicker and more aggressively than 3.02 which I'm used to and seems to finish...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mOUCmCqQPk Anyone tried it yet? Could well be the future - no sling, no dust, prep'd pad... mine should be here today! This cuts like 203S... Hyper Compound Spray should be in the UK next week. Dr G, loving the charisma. Russ.

This rather tasty black R26 with Lux and 'Black Pack' belongs to a fellow forum member, who contacted me to see what I could do with the paint on his Deep Black R26. After a few false starts, I finally managed to be free for the car last Sunday. Below details the detail (excuse the crap...

Today's detail was a returning customer - I detailed this R32 last September, fully correcting it then protecting it through Winter with a layer of Zymol's Vintage Wax (£2180!). Over the course of the Winter period, the car had picked up a bit of swirling and the protection was all but gone...

Very quick write up on this one... I was asked to bring a bit of life back into the paint on this stunning RB320 Impreza. I'd previously polished half of a door on this car as a demonstration; the difference was incredible, so the owner asked me to do the rest of the car for him! The paint on...

Growler (member here on CS) asked me to take a look at his Dodge Caliber for him, mainly with the aim of deswirling it... Aim of the day here was to give this Dodge Caliber a bit of love. It was an ex demo car, so had been a little neglected wash wise, and was covered in swirls and...

Wow, I'm in love! Today's car was a rather sexy RenaultSport Megane 250 Cup, in Oyster Grey, with optional Recaro's and 19" Speedline wheels. What a car! The build quality of this thing is incredible for a French hatch, it just feels so solid! I want one... Anyway... you may recognise...

Okay, so after a chaotic morning at work, I spent the past couple of hours de-stressing, giving my car a quick detail, so that I could use my new pot of Zymol Glasur, which I received from Monza yesterday (thanks again Eamonn!) I was also keen to try out two other new products - Clearkote...

Today's was my toughest yet! < 1 year old German white paint, which was VERY swirly for its age. The paint was ROCK hard... A few before pics: I began by cleaning the wheels, tyres and arches with my favourite combination of AS Smart Wheels, G101 and various brushes...

Anyone on here? Saw you today on the junction at about 5.30PM. It looked VERY clean :) I was in a silver Meg R26

Ok, new laptop is imminent but I'm stuck between this HP and a Macbook Pro 13" http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/597376/HP-DM3-1025SA or: http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/556955/APPLE-Macbook-Pro-13-inch-MB990 Is the Apple REALLY £400 better? The HP is better built...

Today I took the opportunity to give me car a decent clean, as I've had it for nearly a week, and have only really hand washed it upto this point. The main objective for today was to get rid of the tar spots and get some decent protection down. It needs a full correction detail, but I'll...

Like a muppet, I disconnected my head unit earlier to connect my TunePoint, without giving a 2nd thought to the fact that disconnecting the power would require me to input the security code - something which I don't know!! How do I find out what the code is please? I can't see anything in my...

After just under 12 months' ownership, I've decided to part ways with my R27 and change it for an R26 Megane. The Clio is a great car, but perhaps not the best on the motorway. When you're in the mood for it, it's massive fun, but when you're not, it can feel like a chore... or maybe I'm...

Copy and Pasted from DW... Today's mission was to breath a bit of life into this 2001 Octavia vRS. The car is owned by DW's very own Bandit Barron, who I've got to know quite well over the years from selling him a few bits and pieces. Plan for today was for Dave to clean the car, cook...

RussZS detailing a Clio!?? Gotta be a first... :lol: Today's example was a newly stripped out, well cared for example of a 172 Cup in Mondial Blue, lowered on Eibch Springs, with OZ Ultra Leggera wheels, and a very tsteful KTec Stealth Exhaust system. The aftermarket Cobra seats were also...

Today's detail saw me travel to sunny Stone, to give my mate Russ' newly acquired Ford Focus ST3 a bit of love. I agreed to do what I could in the 8 hours or so that I had... A few pics of the car when I arrived: I started with the wheels, arches and tyres, and set to work...

Saw a MB 172 with an aftermarket exhaust and CS stickers in windows, at about 8:30am. I was in the red Leon FR next to you as you came off the motorway...

Copy and pasted from Detailing World... Ste and Mike will add their MUCH better pics shortly.... Today saw me travel to Warwick to help my mate Mike with his stunning Black Gold RenaultSport Clio V6. The car is extremely well looked after, with no expense spared, but the paintwork...

I had my Recaro covers replaced under warranty about 2-3 months ago, and already my second set have started to wear very slightly and will no doubt continue! What's the best way of dealing with this? Does anyone use any seat covers? They are awesome seats, but this is taking the pee now...

Looked clean - good effort in this weather!! Anyone on here?

Congrats on the undertaking, if I didn't have a nervous young lady with me, I'd have had a play with you ;) Wheels looked good!

Between J5&4A about 4:45 this evening, was it you dude? Russ.

I've had my 197 now for little over 6 months, and I've put 13k on the clock... at an average of about 28MPG. That's a lot of money spent on petrol. Now, logic would dictate that I should be chopping said car in for a Diesel, but I can't get over the fact that my car is so much fun to drive...

I spent a few hours a couple of weeks ago cleaning up a friends' brothers' Civic Type-R as a favour for a birthday gift. I was only giving the exterior some love, which was mostly in decent condition, having had the alloys recently refurb'd and the paint was in fair condition for its age and...

I went to my friend's house tonight, parked outside their house in the street. 5 minutes later I hear an almighty bang and a car alarm going off... it sounded like mine. As I dashed to the window I saw a light blue Ka which has been reversed into my car from the driveway opposite. He then...

Mr Ste Burns is getting very good at these night shots now! Car was prep'd with SV CF then topped with a VERY thin layer of Zymol Vintage Wheels with Planet Polish WS&S and tyres with TW Platinum :) More to come.... Russ.

Today's detail was a rather lovely dark blue Mk5 VW Golf R32 in 3 door version. The car itself was in decent condition, but was quite heavily swirled from the previous owner and COVERED in LUMPS of tar (which I spent nearly an hour removing!) Few before pics: First up, the...

Just wondering if anyone on here has it and who with? Our scheme is quite pricey, but defo worth the level of cover, should an unlikely error occur. Russ.
