    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I quite liked it. I prefer ipa based QD's but I guess you need to take care when topping other products. Waxing cars is so last tuesday its all about QD's now.

    "Refining"

    I dont think you can even get pinholes with a da tbh. I would say stonechips or contamination. I had similar marks today but turned out to be tree sap. Detailing spray removed most of it. You can spend as long as you want on panels its just the heat and technique you need to sort. Da should be...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I managed this with a broked polisher. Ill upload dslr photos next week. Loved CQUK btw its like old skool C1 used to be. Topped it with reload for now. I hope the beading will be ok. Forgot what a pain in the ass waterbased QD's are.

    "Refining"

    You sure its not just stone chips? Sap? Did you Ironx and clar and de tar? Only time you get marks like that which are genuenly defects is when you hammer the paintwork with a polisher. Takes blatant disregard and impatience to do it. Like me. Cracking work IMO btw... they cant expect more...

    "Refining"

    Depth guages are so over rated. I think I broke through an edge yesterday on my car. Not sure tho. On my last car I broke through in about 3 places lol. I was sanding though. It is right to be concerned about it. Machine polishing alone should not break through - which is an incorrect...

    I'm struggling to get a decent level of correction.

    You could do. IMO if youre going to go to the trouble of machine polishing then do it properly and seal it with Cquartz or something. I rarely use glaze anymore and I havent done any serious correction work for so long now. Try Megs 105. I never liked any of the Menz pads. Always loved the...

    Actually turned out to be sap thank god. Was so gutted. Bad machine polishing/compounding technique. Pinholes might not be the correct phrase.

    EP800, S1M180, Megs G220. Das 6 Pro or Rupes would be a good bet for me I think as I no longer do any serious correction work. Rupes is so expensive though, might have to sling some dope.

    Do you regret getting into detailing?

    Because they are IDIOTS lol. Its all coming back to me now. Dust. marring. Its fucked. Thank god CQUK is hiding my buffer trails :)

    I'm struggling to get a decent level of correction.

    Depends how deep the swirls are at the end of the day. Pearl Black (If yours is Pearl) wasnt too hard and I found the menzerna stuff more than sufficient. Ive heard Black Gold is very very hard however. Can you invest in a rotary. The extra torque will reduce your work times. Might be worth...

    "Refining"

    Green lake country CP is a good all round pad and might be a good step after orange hex. I dont think it can cope with what wool will do to your paint - I figured that out yesterday and my paintwork is royally fucked now. Full of pinholes, buffer trails etc. But its got enough cut to remove...

    Do you regret getting into detailing?

    For me, protected car is a must as it makes washing and drying so much easier and more rewarding, fortunately I have lost some of my interest as it was getting out of hand some years ago now. Like an addiction to drugs. I even own one of those blower things from polished bliss. But why do I...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    f**king seriously? What was the need in that? I dropped that trolling s**t a while ago and you bring it up for no reason? 3M is too big and bulky IMO which is why I liked the EP800 so much. Rupes might be too expensive.

    What machine polisher should I buy? No DA unless Bigfoot Rupes ..... Rotary decided it wanted to spew oil out over my paintwork,

    Gutted. I remember driving about in a 335i. Was great spooling the turbos up then letting off and hearing it s**t all over the road. The stock exhaust is brilliant. Whats the 116i's performance like?

    [PS3 Exclusive] The Last of Us

    I totally disagree with that. For me It HAS to be story driven for me to play it. Games like this are the only ones I find interesting and I very rarely play multi player these days. Games Like Stalker, Metro, The last Of Us, BF3 Single Player etc I found great. Gears of war or Halo, not...

    E92 335i

    There was a 116i 'sport' in the showroom where I got my 320d from. Looked horrendously bad. You planning anything once the blowers have been replaced?

    I try my best. I dont see how the 320d is a bad engine anyway.

    I think SRP is still one of the best pre cleaners going thanks to its abrasives. Great on red paintwork thats suffering from minor oxidization..
